In this section, problems that are based with errors in the server.cfg will be listed and answered for you.
| I edited my template.sss and my settings do not change, why? | 5/10/2001 |
| | The template.sss is not the location subgame looks for to determine settings. Server.cfg is your settings file. The template.sss just tells you what each settings mean when your in your zone and do ESC+C. If you edited your template.sss by accident, please download a new one from my download section. |
| What program should I open server.cfg in? | 5/10/2001 |
| | The server.cfg file is a text-format only file. If you use windows, opening it in notepad works very nicely. If you use wordpad or word itself, please make sure you save it as a text file with no special text format. If you use unix or dos, just open it in a basic text editor. |
| How do I make the flags appear around the centre of the arena? | 5/10/2001 |
| This setting applies for the Soccer ball and the Greens (Prizes) too, so whatever you set it to it affects the Soccer ball and Greens.
Go into your Server.CFG or press ESC + C in your zone. Scroll down and find the [Prize] section, look for MinimumVirtual= (it will probably be set at 1024 - Anywhere in the arena). Once you find it, set it to 20 (good if you have a safety zone in the centre) or higher depending on how far you want them to appear. So if you want the Flags to appear right outside the safe your Server.CFG should look something like this :
[Prize]
MinimumVirtual=20 |
| How can I keep specs from seeing flags? | 5/11/2001 |
| If they are using Continuum version .36 or higher, you can turn on the ability to disable them seeing flags that are dropped while in spectator mode. To do this, change this setting to 1:
[Spectator]
HideFlags=1 |
| I don't want specs to have X-Radar, can I turn this off? | 5/11/2001 |
| | You can disable the ability for specs to be able to use X-Radar by setting the setting [Spectator] NoXRadar to 1. |
| I don't like random bullets, can I stop this? | 5/11/2001 |
| | To disable the ability for bullets to do random damage, change the setting [Bullet] ExactDamage to 1. For it to be random, keep it 0. |
| My map kills people's frame rates, how can I keep them from getting kicked? | 5/11/2001 |
| | In your server.cfg file, you can change the setting for what frame rate people will get kicked for having, or to disable it completely if your map keeps everyone's frame rate down too low. Just set the setting [Misc] SlowFrameRate to a number, from 0 to 35. If set to 0, it disables the checking of slow frame rates. If set to something like 20, if their frame rate is less than 20 for a long time, they will get kicked. |
| Can I see bombs in radar? | 5/11/2001 |
| You can make certain ships see bombs in radar if you wish. Just set that ship's SeeBombLevel to a number from 0 to 4 and they can see bombs then. Here is what each of those numbers acts on a ship:
0: Cannot see bombs in radar. Standard old method.
1: Can see ALL bombs in radar.
2: Can see only L2, L3, or L4 bombs in radar.
3: Can see only L3 or L4 bombs in radar.
4: Can only see L4 bombs in radar. |
| People abuse the Thrust/Bomb trick, how can I stop this? | 5/11/2001 |
| | In your .cfg file, the setting under each ship has a DisableFastShooting value. If this value is 0, they can shoot bullets, bombs, and thors while using afterburners. If set to 1, they cannot shot while using afterburners. This is a good setting to have on if your afterburners are VERY fast. |
| No one, or only moderates, can talk in public chat. Why? | 1/15/2002 |
| Due to a know problem in the subgame, there are some weird errors that occur with flag rewards and public chat. No one is really sure why setting these things incorrectly will cause this, but it does. So a way to fix this is if you do not wish to use one of these sections, set them to the below values. If you do use one of these sections, make sure the other one is set to these values in the server.cfg.
[Territory]
RewardDelay=60000
RewardBaseFlags=2
RewardMinimumPlayers=2
RewardPoints=0
[Periodic]
RewardDelay=60000
RewardMinimumPlayers=2
RewardPoints=0
