Starting Special Forces

[conners]

I am sur som of you wil think this is a dumb question, but hey if you don't know you don't know.

I have a dedicated linux server and have never ran a expansion pack. The start.sh only starts the regular bf2 I think. LOL What I was wondering is hoe do you start a server using the start.sh and it be running the Special Forces mod?

Edit the maplist.con file and put the SF maps in the list instead of the regular BF2 maps.

[conners]

did that but now I get a no maps in maplist error I am using this in bf2/settings/maplist.con ans also in xpack/settings maplist.con

mapList.append Devils_Perch gpm_cq 32


should work right?

Might also try this cmd line:


bf2_ded.exe +modPath "mods/xpack"

[conners]

Yes! that worked when I used ./start.sh bf2_ded.exe +modPath "mods/xpack"
Now how can I put that in a start.sh file so it will automatiacally start?

See cause i know nuthin abot shell scripts.

Thank you thank you thank you

Good to hear :)


You are going to have to create a start script or edit the one you have now and include the extra varibles.


Let me know how it works out :)

[conners]

ok lol but where...lol

#! /bin/sh

./start.sh bf2_ded.exe +modPath "mods/xpack" <--here ok?


MACH=""

case `uname -m` in
i[3456]86) MACH="ia-32"
;;
x86_64) MACH="amd-64"
;;
esac

if ! [ -d pb ]
then
ln -s pb_$MACH pb
fi

BINARY_DIR="$(pwd)/bin"
if [ -d "$BINARY_DIR/$MACH" ]
then
BINARY_DIR="$BINARY_DIR/$MACH"
fi

# Make the OS give us .core-dumps if the server crashes
ulimit -c unlimited

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BINARY_DIR
exec $BINARY_DIR/bf2 "$@"

[conners]

Well I guess it does work there... :salute:

Thanks a million......

Btw I have a script that automatically detaches the screen if you want it or to see it.

Ahhh, the old switcheroonie doesn't work as it did in BF1942 and BFV. Damn, sorry to misinform you.
The maplist change worked with 1942 and BFV. I guess it doesn't with SF :rolleyes:
