In this thread, I am going to show you what exactly is a MapCycle and how to use it..

This tutorial is mostly related with the JAYMOD settings/configurations ONLY.


Here We Start !
*************

The Server mapcycle is either located on the etmain folder or the Mod[Jaymod,Nitmod,Etjump etc] folder through FTP itself, depending on what type of name is given for it but the "cycle" word should be given in it atleast (i.e campagincycle.cfg/stopwatchcycle.cfg/modcycle.cfg etc) most of these mapcycles are in .cfg format so its easier to edit & use them..

As for our headshot server, the mapcycle is located in the Jaymod folder in FTP with the name modcycle.cfg (I Dont know about the other servers but just telling my homeserver's one so ye)

~ What is a MapCycle ?

Its a config file that powers/controls the server's maplist in one order and executes one map after another when that one map ends..

~ How to use it ?

You need to open it and Edit/Add words that relates with the cvar commands and stuff, after all its a .cfg file so keep in mind..

This is how a mapcycle looks like when u open it. for example ND's old mapcycle one :-

set d1 "set g_gametype 2 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set g_gametype 2 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "set g_gametype 2 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "set g_gametype 2 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "set g_gametype 2 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d6"
set d6 "set g_gametype 2 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

As you can see Map names are given according to their .bsp format map names, one thing you need to make sure is that dont add the ".bsp" word beside it.. just add its map name. [Highlighted with yellow colour]

How are you going to know where the exact map name's bsp is located at?

Easy, just open a [AnyMap].pk3 from your own wolfet etmain folder, you will find inside it a folder called "maps"

(The following screenshot shows you that i am opening a Caen map file as an example)

[Image: 2VgI2oQ.png]


Open "maps" folder and then you will find [exactmapname].bsp

[Image: JAv3Nlw.png]

It is located on every single maps.. so i have to tell you that..if u want to write a map name in a MapCycle, it should follow the name that refers the Map name containing the .bsp format located in the maps folder otherwise it will never work.

~ Understanding It :-

set d1 "set g_gametype 2 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set g_gametype 2 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "set g_gametype 2 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "set g_gametype 2 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "set g_gametype 2 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d6"
set d6 "set g_gametype 2 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

Setting up | Cycle Number | Map name | Loading what's next map | Apostrophe's & semicolon | Game Type (Default is 2) |

"vstr d1" is always placed at the end of the words to restart loading the first map again after all the maps are over

~ How to add a new map for the MapCycle ?

I will let u know how to do it, look carefully..

===================================
Again this is the current Mapcycle:-
===================================

set d1 "set g_gametype 2 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set g_gametype 2 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "set g_gametype 2 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "set g_gametype 2 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "set g_gametype 2 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d6"
set d6 "set g_gametype 2 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

==================================================
After Adding 2 New Lines for 2 New Maps in the mapcycle it should look like this:-
==================================================

set d1 "set g_gametype 2 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set g_gametype 2 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "set g_gametype 2 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "set g_gametype 2 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "set g_gametype 2 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d6"
set d6 "set g_gametype 2 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d7"
set d7 "set g_gametype 2 ; map [mapname] ; set nextmap vstr d8"
set d8 "set g_gametype 2 ; map [mapname] ; set nextmap vstr d1"
vstr d1

---------------------------

Saw the changes? Now you have 8 maps in the mapcycle. After adding the lines..

If you dont like to add lines and want to replace the map with another one in the map cycle, simply just rename the map names and thats it..

Always Remember....
Whenever you do any changes towards the Mapcycle, you need to go through your rcon and do exec server.cfg so it should restart the server to occur the changes, as ive told recently, the server.cfg has an end containing the word exec mapcycle/modcycle/whatevercycle.cfg thats why when you execute the server.cfg through rcon the mapcycle also executes itself too.

~ How to add a cvar command/word to a Mapcycle ?

Suppose, when a map loads in a mapcycle and you want that particular map to load ONLY 8 Bots and its timelimit should be 10 Minutes Only, you need to add it in this way,



set d1 "set g_gametype 2 ; set g_userTimeLimit 10 ; bot maxbots 8 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d2"

Timelimit & Amount of Bots

You can also add another cvar if you want to, you just need to check your Server's MOD Documentation

~ Example of HeadShot's Mapcycle :-

I will share you my neat headshot mapcycle to make you understand perfectly how it works ..

set round10 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map purefrag_funv2 ;set nextmap vstr round11 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Training Pit"
set round11 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map TRAINING_PIT_01 ;set nextmap vstr round12 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Frag Maze"
set round12 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 20; map fragmaze_fixed ;set nextmap vstr round13 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Mountain Radio"
set round13 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map mountainradio_b1 ;set nextmap vstr round14 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: TWC FragZone"
set round14 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map twc_fragzone ;set nextmap vstr round15 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: FastFrag"
set round15 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map fastfrag_b3 ;set nextmap vstr round16 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Element"
set round16 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map element_b4_1 ;set nextmap vstr round17 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Western"
set round17 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map western ;set nextmap vstr round18 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Casino Run"
set round18 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map supply_desert ;set nextmap vstr round19 ;bot maxbots 12; set g_msg0 Next map: Sykotic DM"
set round19 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map sykoticdm1 ;set nextmap vstr round20 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Caen 4"
set round20 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map c_t_g ;set nextmap vstr round21 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Tournement DM"
set round21 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map tournementdm_fix ;set nextmap vstr round22 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: UJE Golden Dunk"
set round22 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map goldendunk ;set nextmap vstr round23 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: UJE Valley Escort"
set round23 "set g_gametype 2; set g_userTimeLimit 15; map bpaim4b2 ;set nextmap vstr round10 ;bot maxbots 8; set g_msg0 Next map: Purefrag"



vstr round10;




//Re-Arranged By: Hani

Compare this to HeadShot's Current Mapcycle that is posted on HS Section itself and see for yourself.


The ones that are coloured with RED are useless, just dont read it..

Sometimes, different words are used in different mapcycle for Cycle numbers like round00/d12/g16 .. It depends

You can make more space between them if you want to but make sure you dont forget to place semi colons and apostrophe's beside them !

You can also make your own mapcycle with a different [Name].cfg.. usually for events its more helpful

------------------------------------------------------------

Important Notice : If you are going to do big changes within the server, MSTS consultation is required and remember.. always backup the files,settings or configs to your computer before doing big/small changes to prevent loss or corruption towards the server.

------------------------------------------------------------

I hope my english is understandable for you, if you didnt understood anything please let me know so that i can sort it out asap !


@Supremes:-
SpoilerTo Other Server Supremes, If you have any idea or any tutorials to post for a different mod rather than jaymod, please take permission from the MSTs to have access to edit this thread and so on post what you know about server mapcycle for a different mod NEATLY . as far as ik, i posted about Jaymod so ye.


With that being said..

Note That The Following Things In This Thread Has Nothing To Do With High Admins Nor Members But Only For Understanding and Learning Purpose !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this thread, I am going to show you what are the server configurations and how to use them..

This tutorial is mostly related with the JAYMOD settings/configurations ONLY.


Here We Start !
*************

First of all, most of the config files are located onto your FTP Server, so whenever you want to edit something that is related with the server settings like eg: changing the vote percentage or disabling double jump.. enabling thompson, adding password to the server or changing the server name etc. YOU need to login through your ftp and go through the config files and start editing each cvar(Console Variables/Commands) carefully inorder to make that particular function you want for your server to work

The main & the most important config file for the server is server.cfg

1. The server.cfg file or the config files :-

~ What is server.cfg ?

server.cfg is a config file that lies within the server's etmain folder which contains various of commands that activates the server's default/custom settings depending on what mod/style is it running, You can place commands or edit them to execute/change the server's specific options, When the server is launched, the first file will be executed is the server.cfg.

cvar(commands) example:-

/g_knifeonly 1 --> activates knifewar
/g_knifeonly 0 --> Disables knifewar
/g_knifeonly 0 //1 means enabling knife war ---> "//" double slash is written so that it is kept as a reminder and neither its a command nor it is getting activated but only used for putting sentence or warning purposes..

~ What does it do ?

Activates/Deactivates/Changes Server's whole settings/options through cvars(commands)

~ How to use it ?

You need to edit/add words in it which refers/related with the cvars(commands)

If you want to know how to add/edit or how to know how a cvar(command) works for each specific function, Click on the following mod name which is powered in your server to redirect you to a site containing full list of cvar(commands) & full information of that particular mod

- For JAYMOD
- For N!tmod
- For ETJump
- For ETNam

~ How do i execute the server.cfg / how to activate or get it working in my server ?

To execute it or activate it onto your server, you need to go through your RCON Client and type the following in the bar : "exec server.cfg"
[Image: l6AGF9Y.png]
after you've done that, your server is going to restart immediately and then reloads/activates the changes you've made inside the server.cfg

You can also do instant changes towards the server without editing the server.cfg by just entering a cvar in the rcon.

Note that everytime you do changes towards a .cfg file for a server especially the server.cfg, dont forget to execute it through rcon so that it should restart the server to get things activated and if you do changes in the .cfg file and you dont execute it, server will not change and it will stay the same, If you made a change in the server.cfg and executed it through rcon and after the server got restarted but the change u wanted to happen didnt actually happened means that you've done a mistake placing/editing the cvar(code/command) in the file, Sometimes some major changes like changing server name or its server address MIGHT not take affect after executing the server.cfg through rcon.. you may need to restart(reboot) the server completely to get it working with the help of the server control panel..


Becarefull.. try to avoid doing crappy changes before starting it, you dont want to crash your homeserver so dont corrupt anything within the config files unless you know what you are doing or just consult the MSTS or other supremes if you dont know how to do it..

~ How do i make my own .cfg file for a server ?

Lets say you are planning an event for your server called "No Explosions Event" and you want to disable all types of explosions like nades..molotove..riflegrenades..satchels etc, so for that you need to create a noexplosion.cfg file (Name it any type of name you want for the file) and then what you have to do next is placing cvar codes/commands in it for the specific functions/options to make changes inorder to get rid of explosive weapons.. for example adding this:-

//Weapon Enables & Disables

weapon_disable 4 // nade
weapon_disable 9 // pinapple nade
weapon_disable 30 // smoke bomb
weapon_disable 22 // airstrike
set team_maxLandMines "0" //landmines
set team_maxGrenLaunchers "0" // riflenades

------------------------------------------

If you want to also add a display banner for this event then add these codes for example:-

//Banners
set g_banner1 "^6Welcome to NO Explosions Event^1!"
set server_motd3 "^e| ^7Current Mod ^e|"
set server_motd4 "^e| ^6NO EXPLOSIONS ^e|"

------------------------------------------

After you finish placing codes and stuff, make sure & dont forget to place "exec modcycle.cfg" at the end or "exec mapcycle.cfg" it depends on what name is given to your mapcycle file which is located inside your Jaymod folder in the FTP so that your config file loads the settings you made along with the mapcycle itself..

------------------------------------------

After you finished doing everything to create your own noexplosions.cfg file for an event, Place the noexplosions.cfg to your JAYMOD/NITMOD/ETjump etc folder, NOT ETMAIN FOLDER & now start executing it through rcon by typing "exec noexplosions.cfg" and there you go, you have nades or explosive weapons disabled in your server, If you want to reset the server settings to default, go back to rcon again and type "exec server.cfg"

Note that everytime you make your own config file for the server, just place it in your MOD folder.. dont place it in the etmain.

------------------------------------------

If you are interested to know alot more about customizing server settings and stuff, please click on one of the MODs that is suitable for your choice and there you will find full information about cvar/making mod.. settings etc..

1. Understanding ModEnhConfig.xml :-

Now this file is located inside the Jaymod folder on the FTP, its a type of a config file with a .xml format, But what is inside this file is more complicated than the .cfg file.
If you dont know what .xml format does and means.. Click Here.
What is more special about this file is that it consist of enhancedmod config settings and it triggers the automatic promoting system when getting more XPs and also lets you to edit how many bullets you want for a class to have or what weapon will that particular class will have in his/her hands in the first place when he/she spawns and such type of other options that are given in this file.

You can replace/edit/remove/add anything according to its instructions given but ONE thing you need to know is that this is way different than .cfg file and you have to be much carefull editing it.. plus its a more easier to do it if you get used to it

Heres an example of my Pistol war event for HS, I used Modenhconfig.xml to remove all the weapons except pistols only. (You cannot completely remove weapons from .cfg by adding a cvar so thats why i used modenhconfig.xml to remove them completely and changing their amount of bullets in the gun)

Important Note: Once you made the changes in this file, make a backup of your normal modenhconfig.xml first and then replace it with the on you changed in the Jaymod folder itself, its impossible to execute a .xml file through rcon so what you have to do is you need to completely reboot the server from the server control panel if you are going for changing stuff in .xml file

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <settings> - <!-- configuration example - medics spawn with 18 adrenaline syringes - medics spawn with 18 revive syringes - all classes have 2 molotovs - axis and allies having 2 primary weapons(mp40+thomson) -

------------------------------------------------------------

Another thing i have to remind you is that the server.cfg is ONLY kept in the etmain folder and it doesnt consist of ONLY cvar codes, it also consist of rcon password, server address, banners..passwords, authentication codes etc.. but what mostly is important to you is the ones i mentioned about cvar codes..

------------------------------------------------------------

Important Notice : If you are going to do big changes within the server, MSTS consultation is required and remember.. always backup the files,settings or configs to your computer before doing big/small changes to prevent loss or corruption towards the server.

------------------------------------------------------------

I hope my english is understandable for you, if you didnt understood anything please let me know so that i can sort it out asap !

There are more left to know about .so .db .log etc files but later on i will discuss it on the next lesson..however this tutorial is all about the main aspects for the server configuration, next lesson will be coming up soon.

@Supremes:-
SpoilerTo Other Server Supremes, If you have any idea or any tutorials to post for a different mod rather than jaymod, please take permission from the MSTs to have access to edit this thread and so on post what you know about server configuration in a different mod NEATLY . as far as ik, i posted about Jaymod so ye.


With that being said..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this thread, I am going to show you what are the server configurations and how to use them..

This tutorial is mostly related with the JAYMOD settings/configurations ONLY.


Here We Start !
*************

First of all, most of the config files are located onto your FTP Server, so whenever you want to edit something that is related with the server settings like eg: changing the vote percentage or disabling double jump.. enabling thompson, adding password to the server or changing the server name etc. YOU need to login through your ftp and go through the config files and start editing each cvar(Console Variables/Commands) carefully inorder to make that particular function you want for your server to work

The main & the most important config file for the server is server.cfg

1. The server.cfg file or the config files :-

~ What is server.cfg ?

server.cfg is a config file that lies within the server's etmain folder which contains various of commands that activates the server's default/custom settings depending on what mod/style is it running, You can place commands or edit them to execute/change the server's specific options, When the server is launched, the first file will be executed is the server.cfg.

cvar(commands) example:-

/g_knifeonly 1 --> activates knifewar
/g_knifeonly 0 --> Disables knifewar
/g_knifeonly 0 //1 means enabling knife war ---> "//" double slash is written so that it is kept as a reminder and neither its a command nor it is getting activated but only used for putting sentence or warning purposes..

~ What does it do ?

Activates/Deactivates/Changes Server's whole settings/options through cvars(commands)

~ How to use it ?

You need to edit/add words in it which refers/related with the cvars(commands)

If you want to know how to add/edit or how to know how a cvar(command) works for each specific function, Click on the following mod name which is powered in your server to redirect you to a site containing full list of cvar(commands) & full information of that particular mod

- For JAYMOD
- For N!tmod
- For ETJump
- For ETNam

~ How do i execute the server.cfg / how to activate or get it working in my server ?

To execute it or activate it onto your server, you need to go through your RCON Client and type the following in the bar : "exec server.cfg"
[Image: l6AGF9Y.png]
after you've done that, your server is going to restart immediately and then reloads/activates the changes you've made inside the server.cfg

You can also do instant changes towards the server without editing the server.cfg by just entering a cvar in the rcon.

Note that everytime you do changes towards a .cfg file for a server especially the server.cfg, dont forget to execute it through rcon so that it should restart the server to get things activated and if you do changes in the .cfg file and you dont execute it, server will not change and it will stay the same, If you made a change in the server.cfg and executed it through rcon and after the server got restarted but the change u wanted to happen didnt actually happened means that you've done a mistake placing/editing the cvar(code/command) in the file, Sometimes some major changes like changing server name or its server address MIGHT not take affect after executing the server.cfg through rcon.. you may need to restart(reboot) the server completely to get it working with the help of the server control panel..


Becarefull.. try to avoid doing crappy changes before starting it, you dont want to crash your homeserver so dont corrupt anything within the config files unless you know what you are doing or just consult the MSTS or other supremes if you dont know how to do it..

~ How do i make my own .cfg file for a server ?

Lets say you are planning an event for your server called "No Explosions Event" and you want to disable all types of explosions like nades..molotove..riflegrenades..satchels etc, so for that you need to create a noexplosion.cfg file (Name it any type of name you want for the file) and then what you have to do next is placing cvar codes/commands in it for the specific functions/options to make changes inorder to get rid of explosive weapons.. for example adding this:-

//Weapon Enables & Disables

weapon_disable 4 // nade
weapon_disable 9 // pinapple nade
weapon_disable 30 // smoke bomb
weapon_disable 22 // airstrike
set team_maxLandMines "0" //landmines
set team_maxGrenLaunchers "0" // riflenades

------------------------------------------

If you want to also add a display banner for this event then add these codes for example:-

//Banners
set g_banner1 "^6Welcome to NO Explosions Event^1!"
set server_motd3 "^e| ^7Current Mod ^e|"
set server_motd4 "^e| ^6NO EXPLOSIONS ^e|"

------------------------------------------

After you finish placing codes and stuff, make sure & dont forget to place "exec modcycle.cfg" at the end or "exec mapcycle.cfg" it depends on what name is given to your mapcycle file which is located inside your Jaymod folder in the FTP so that your config file loads the settings you made along with the mapcycle itself..

------------------------------------------

After you finished doing everything to create your own noexplosions.cfg file for an event, Place the noexplosions.cfg to your JAYMOD/NITMOD/ETjump etc folder, NOT ETMAIN FOLDER & now start executing it through rcon by typing "exec noexplosions.cfg" and there you go, you have nades or explosive weapons disabled in your server, If you want to reset the server settings to default, go back to rcon again and type "exec server.cfg"

Note that everytime you make your own config file for the server, just place it in your MOD folder.. dont place it in the etmain.

------------------------------------------

If you are interested to know alot more about customizing server settings and stuff, please click on one of the MODs that is suitable for your choice and there you will find full information about cvar/making mod.. settings etc..

1. Understanding ModEnhConfig.xml :-

Now this file is located inside the Jaymod folder on the FTP, its a type of a config file with a .xml format, But what is inside this file is more complicated than the .cfg file.
If you dont know what .xml format does and means.. Click Here.
What is more special about this file is that it consist of enhancedmod config settings and it triggers the automatic promoting system when getting more XPs and also lets you to edit how many bullets you want for a class to have or what weapon will that particular class will have in his/her hands in the first place when he/she spawns and such type of other options that are given in this file.

You can replace/edit/remove/add anything according to its instructions given but ONE thing you need to know is that this is way different than .cfg file and you have to be much carefull editing it.. plus its a more easier to do it if you get used to it

Heres an example of my Pistol war event for HS, I used Modenhconfig.xml to remove all the weapons except pistols only. (You cannot completely remove weapons from .cfg by adding a cvar so thats why i used modenhconfig.xml to remove them completely and changing their amount of bullets in the gun)

Important Note: Once you made the changes in this file, make a backup of your normal modenhconfig.xml first and then replace it with the on you changed in the Jaymod folder itself, its impossible to execute a .xml file through rcon so what you have to do is you need to completely reboot the server from the server control panel if you are going for changing stuff in .xml file

Here We Start !
*************

After you got your supreme level and you have no idea what to do next.. well, just follow my words carefully.

First of all, you should always remember that the leader spot in your level/rostor should never be empty, having a leader in a server is always important so that he/she should take your orders and spread it alongside members and high admins + keeping an eye on member's behaviour,status, promotions/demotions and the server itself, you should never lose cooperation with your server leader in order to make the server stable and active.

2nd , you will be having the full control for the server and your homeserver Section in forums, take care of it..

3rd, remember ! whenever you intend or try to make changes within the server, you first need to cooperate and have a discussion about it along with your members,high admins and with others too, this will let them tell their opinions so that it should make it easy for you to know whether they like the changes or not,

Always keep in MIND, Never and ever give your access to anyone or else you will be the next person to get punished & banned forever !

Coming To The Basic Points !
************************

You Will Need To Have 3 Requirements :-

1. FTP (Download Link)
2. Rcon Client (Download Link)
3. Server Control Panel (Link)


1. Lets Start With FTP:-

~ What is FTP ?

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.

~ What does it do ?

Transfers Files into the server such as maps,mods,bot waypoints and configs, commands ETC.
Simple Example: Inserting/Removing/Editing files like .pk3 or .cfg from the server .

~ How to use it ?

Well its easy to use, you just need to upload or remove or edit server cfgs and stuff in it, you will be having folders like jaymod(or nitmod depending on what mod your server runs),etmain,omnibot and pb etc,

As for me i run jaymod server so i have the jaymod folder in my ftp.

etmain -> Uploading maps, editing server.cfg etc.

jaymod -> Command files, map cycle files,chatlogs, .xml files, mod files, and ofc alot of files that are available to edit such as the level systems etc, all types of config files located in jaymod folder.

omnibot -> Waypoint files(files for bots to move in maps), editing bot names & their difficulty levels etc.

As for pb file, you dont have to touch or do anything with it, i recommend you not to touch the config or .cfg files unless you do know what you are doing..

~ How do i get in the FTP ?

[Image: YtFkeUh.png]

Simply you need to put:-

Host: server.twcclan.org
user: (your homeserver username)
FTP Password: (your homeserver FTP Password)

SideNote: You cannot edit .pk3 files inside the ftp, you need to take them out and edit them in your desktop and upload them back.. everytime you upload stuff in etmain, people from the server will also connect and download the stuff too.

Once again .. I recommend you Not to Touch/Edit the config or .cfg files before learning on how to use & edit them unless you know you dont want to make a fuss in your server.

====================================

2. Starting with Rcon:-

~ What is Rcon ?

Rcon is a type of remote control client which you can execute several commands without even entering the server. This program is designed to be the replacement of server Rcon Commands, giving you many more options and abilities.

~ What does it do ?

It helps you to execute commands to the server and you can add greeting sounds or edit user information of that particular player, you can promote/demote, server restart and execute cfgs and also mainly helpful for banning players through ip or guid + you can replace or add commands with the help of this rcon tool and further there's alot more.

~ How to use it ?

The same way you're using commands in the server, for example: !help / !kick etc.

But however, there are certain custom commands that you actually dont know are located in the rcon tool, You can see it by clicking the "View" Tab and clicking on "Commands List", therefore a text file will pop up, listing all commands that works in rcon.

There is also "variable's list" , its a list of cvar commands for changing stuff's in the server like Double jump, Miscs, Spawn timing etc, but i dont recommend you using it or changing some things in it Unless you know what you are doing.

~ How do i enter Rcon Client ?

Open Rcon

Enter the following IP,Name, Port and Rcon Password of your homeserver

Click Connect and you will see something like this :-

SideNote: You can also use rcon in-game but i dont recommend you using it ingame due to security reasons, better use it from client itself.

====================================

3. Server Control Panel :-

~ What is Server Control Panel ?

Its nothing but only showing you the specific settings and stuff that are actually active on the server, basically Server's Status and Statistics.

~ What does it do ?

It is mainly helpful for full reboot or shutting down the server and also shows you the results for server activity(not players activity) .

P.S: rcon doesnt reboot the server fully, only restarts the server when cfgs are executed.

~ How to use it ?

The usage for this is to only reboot or shutdown the server through Server Control Panel.

~ How do i enter the Server Control Panel ?

Click On The Link Mentioned above this statement, probably below the requirement's statement.

You will enter a login page, You Basically need to consult MST For this inorder to make an account for you.

then after logging in, you will find the main page for your server's status and info .

---------------------
Important Notice : If you are going to do big changes within the server, MSTS consultation is required and remember.. always backup the files,settings or configs to your computer before doing big/small changes to prevent loss or corruption towards the server.

---------------------

Thats All For Now, Thanks For Reading & Understanding !
