Just downloaded the dedicated server but cant seem to find any documentation for it?

Is it a secret? lol :D

Need command line example so I can figure out how to start the server

Thanks in advance :o

The main difference between the one I showed you for the demo in your other thread is you change UT3Demo.exe to UT3.exe.

Here is a good place to start:

There are no "docs" to the server, just a community of people willing to help. I'm quitting my job in two weeks so maybe I'll write up something formal.

yes that is and I praise the man for his efforts but on the other hand why would it have to take an end user to do it when its a should be a developer that should be providing this information? Just a logical question :confused:

we've always gotten by..the devs are always helpful...maybe it is lacking...but id rather get bugs fixed and features added than to have them writing documentation that the community already discovers and collects..

oh ok hehehehe I used to be a technical writer for about 6 years so I kinda have an idea how it works. ;)

IE:

See path... walk down path....see gate... open gate....walk thru gate...close gate ..... ect. etc.

cya ;)

I presume the command line goes into a batch file?

Is there any step by step guide to setting up a server? I'm looking at this one -

But like I say, it doesn't actually tell me what I do with the command line (where does it go etc).

Two ways:
1. Start a command prompt, change directory to your server folder, enter commandline.
2. Write a batch file to do that for you (see http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=586810 for batch file example)
