unable to change cod:waw server name

[Heated]

i have put up a cod:waw server in a dedicated box.

i grabbed a config file from another thread on the forums, altered it for the most part, put it in the main\ directory and launched the server. the server runs great and i can easily enough change all the game variables HOWEVER, i can not for the life of me change the "SERVER NAME". i certainly understand how to do it (changing it in the server.cfg file) but for whatever reason the name displayed in the games server browser stays the ORIGINAL SERVER NAME that i started the server with.

i am thinking that there must be a bug in the recognition of the server instance at the master server that keeps this servers i.p. addy stuck with the original name regardless of future changes.

i would really like to know if any of you folks have experienced the same or do i have something f'ed up?

I've just got the server port's opened for the server 82.182.139.47:28970 and connected with MiniAdmin and HLSW.

Haven't had time to check if it turns up right in the ingame browser yet since in still at work for antother 8 hours.
edit: thank God for UltraVNC :) Do get the "CoDWaWHost" also in the ingame browser when adding it as a favorite

The name appering in the rcon-proggs is "CoDWaWHost" and not the name set
Also the set number of players 22 wont happen. Instead I get 24?

Open ports are
TCP Ports 28960, 28970
UDP Ports 20500,20510,28960, 28970

does your start up line contain

"C:\World at War Beta 1\CoDWaWbeta1.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 217.146.93.101 +set net_port 28940 +exec server.cfg +map mp_castle

is yours called the same server.cfg in your main folder

as it sounds like its not calling in your .cfg

does your start up line contain
is yours called the same server.cfg in your main folder


Do you mean the folder called "main"?
Because if i put my .cfg in the folder called main I get the message "Server is not running" in the console.

Unless I make this change +exec /mainserver.cfg

My problem solved... for some reason it did not find the cfg but now it does.
Made a clean start and then it worked. Probably a typo somewhere.

Sorry for taking up your time folks .
