Topic: Need some help playing on LAN.

Hey guys,

First of all, I realy need to say I love this game, it's so much fun over LAN with mates big_smile
So we tried it at our school network which worked fine, the only problem is that I can't open "config_directory" and thus I can't edit the server 'rules'. I've edited them at my personal PC, but for some reason the PC on school (it runs XP, but the network is 95/98)it won't execute the CFG. Is there another way to do this? Does this work with rcon? Any ideas welcome!

Thanks! big_smile

Put your server.cfg in the game directory and start the server with 

teewars_srv -f server.cfg

Yes, and what do I need to do else?

Re: Need some help playing on LAN.

There are several possibilities (aside from asking google):
- Create a batch file (text file with .bat extension) in your game directory and put the code I posted above in it.
- Start the server in a command box (Start->Run->cmd - go to your game dir using the command 'cd' and type the code)
- Maybe the best way: Create a shortcut for the teewars_srv.exe, right click it, go to Properties and append "-f server.cfg" (without quotes) in the target box (behind the quotes). E.g. 

"C:\Programs\Teewars\teewars_srv.exe" -f server.cfg

Now click ok and start your server with this shortcut.

Re: Need some help playing on LAN.

Oke, but don't I need to add an server.cfg to the same file as the teewars_srv?

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't read your first post correctly.

Cheers zq for the quick and helpfull replies tongue
