startscript..whats that?

Posted by: Toxin Aug 10 2006, 10:06 PM

u dont know what a startscript is? hmm

a startcript means a human readable executable txt which calls options and parameters 4 you. it helps u to start something without to much options or on a easy way...

have a look @ wiki.... but be shure its ot 42. if u ask what i mean with 42 be shure u have to read much realy great things...


script: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script
42: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42 < -- "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

but i still dont get hwere to write the script in....do i do it in notepad and save it in etmain?

Posted by: NHLfan Aug 11 2006, 12:07 AM

D:\program files\wolfenstein - enemy territory\<here>

Posted by: G-unot Aug 11 2006, 01:40 AM

but i use notepad right?
and i copy it right next to the et.exe.?

if you have windows, then you have to use a batch file, or simply make a shortcut and Edit the Settings of the shortcut

g-unot: i think it not on you to do a dedicated server. sry this what i mean. if u READ carefully u know how to start.. edit... pls READ FIRST then ask.

btw: fastest way: start et -> server | select options | click on start.. now your server runs

Posted by: G-unot Aug 11 2006, 06:19 PM

well im just trying to learn how to run a server......we all been there right?

Posted by: NHLfan Aug 11 2006, 10:35 PM

"learning by doing"
