Changing the serve display name?

[Sp3c1alK]

How? right now it displays the server's username. Here is my command line:
server vCTF-Suspense?Game=UTGameContent.UTVehicleCTFGame_Conte nt?GameMode=3?numplay=0?maxplayers=16?NumPublicCon nections=16?NumPrivateConnections=0?NumOpenPublicC onnections=16?NumOpenPrivateConnections=0?bShouldA dvertise=True?bIsDedicated=True?PureServer=1?timel imit=20?goalscore=5?botskill=3?AdminPassword=xxxx? ServerName=GameON! -log=GameServers.log -login=xxxxr -password=xxxx -multihome=8.12.70.113 -port=27733 -nohomedir -unattended

*the port was set at 7777, but I'm being hosted through gameservers.com and they have my port as the one above.

This is the only way that I know of at this moment. In the upcoming patch they have "fixed" this so that the server name displayed in the browser will be whatever you want it to be. But for now the name displayed is a combination of both the Gamespy login that you use followed by a description.

To make matters worse, the description is not normal ASCII text, its some odd UT3 script. Luckily, some guy created a translator: http://www.penetrate.nl/UT3ServerDesc.php

Example:
- you want your server description to be "House of Doom"
- this is converted to: "07200011100011700011500010100003200011100010200003 2000068000111000111000109000"

You then add it to the commandline like so:


?ServerDescription=0720001110001170001150001010000 32000111000102000032000068000111000111000109000

This would make your server appear in the browser as "[GamespyLogin] House of Doom"

Yes, its retarded. Thats why its totally changed in the upcoming patch.

If this didnt make sense to you then maybe some of the stuff here will help describe it better: http://wiki.unrealadmin.org/FAQ:UT3

thanks for the help! (just noticed I can't spell server)

Any idea when they'll release that patch?

"Soon." heh. They were hoping to have a beta version out today. If they dont meet that goal then its supposed to be out early next week due to the holiday here in the USA. Once it is tested for a couple of days in beta it will be released to the public.

I have patched my server and, for a little while, it was showing on the server list. During that time, it still had the format "GameSpyUserName: ServerDescription".

So, unless there is a new switch to change this behavior, I do not think they have changed anything about how the server name displays, at least not in the BETA Patch 1.01.

In the beta patch 1.01 it will use whatever server name you tell it to. Go into your UTGame.ini and set the server name like this:

[Engine.GameReplicationInfo]
ServerName=Jimbo's House of Blowing Sh*t Up
And then that config will override your commandline entries.
