I just got the sim yesterday so I am still brand new with it.

I managed to get the server command window started by starting the game:

"launcher.exe -server"

it then gives me the error:
"4>Failed to load Steam ServiceServiceStart: failed to start"

Can someone explain what I am doing wrong to get the above error message, or is this normal for the Dedicated server ?

I can then issue the "help" command to show me a listing of commands.

I see the "missLoad" command to load a mission, and some of the other basic commands, but I do not see any commands that identify users on the server or how to get player stats. Those commands used to be "user" and "user STAT" in old IL2 server.

Also is their an eventlog like before or only the console log file ?


Pleaes add to this post all server commands and their meaning you happen to stumble across.

Thanks,

Hi WildWillie,

Getting the FMDj going for this would be awesome

As far as the dos box goes ours gets the same error message when starting the server. But, the good thing I see, is that the server can be ran without using steam (thinking Hyperlobby in the near future!)

I think the IL2.cmd file can be used to execute all your server scripts.

As far as the available commands - type "?" or "help" (without the quotes) and a list will show up with all available options. It's looks really close to IL246.

Looking forward to your work m8.

Cheers!

install steam on your host
run steam, with a different account (ie not your normal steam account) that you're making for your server
launch

you'll still get an error, but the console stay's put.

A. stop battle
B. type in difficulty
C. look over list pick what to change type difficulty in again followed by item to change (example "difficulty NoIcons 1" ) hit enter

type "host" to see who is on your server

looks like difficulty is missing bits - such as the anthomawhatsamadoodad
