Configuring a new server

I just rented a MNC server and I'm trying to get it setup.

I have one specific question but I'd also welcome any tips folks have for a new admin (new to MNC, I've had servers in several other games).

My most pressing question is, can the server name only be set at the command line or can it be changed in a config file?

Other useful info would be:

Where do you set the minimum players to start the game?

Where do you set class limits?

Where do you set game length and overtime length?

Anything else you can think of that's useful!

You do all of that in the command-line.

By chance could you post an example of a command line setting those options?

first sticky in this sub-forum.

Ahhhh, I'd seen that but at first look I didn't see the server name set in there. Now that I look again I see the "ServerDescription" parameter which must be it.

Thanks!

Yes, currently the server description, or server name, is set in the command line. There is an option in the Xgame.ini file for UT3 games but I don't think MNC uses that yet.

If it's enabled, it would be here:

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo]
ServerName=ServerName
ShortName=
MessageOfTheDay=

That's what I'd found first. It definitely doesn't work right now.

Do you guys have any other useful tips?

If it's a MNCDS dedicated server, we supply several template batch files for reference.
