yeah to clarify, im using server.exe which has been downloaded by aa25 assist. didnt see any reason to start hassling with old "non working" one, cause thats not the right path. only thing what i was wondering for the future is restriction with tca2 to be able to patch server(s) when there is something fixed.

what should be modified in the serverside are tickrate, netspeed(s), cache memory and hud settings, at least those, because original UE2 has very limited netspeed (only 8kb/player) which is way under dialup speeds to move all game data. also original netserver tick 25 is low, unless hardware is VERY low end crap. also because memory was very precious in 2002 cache is set to 64mb which is nowadays a good joke this last one is amount of usable cache memory for reloading skins/map stuff/etc and IF its not high enough, server instance constantly swaps this information from hdd and causes "freezing" for gamers, as well with limited netspeeds and tick it is one of the biggest reasons for micro lag (stutter) while playing. can post smallish tut how to pimp up stuff a bit, to make game run a bit better

dunno but close. but the real power lies in that its sniper and it has good stopping power.

VSS is terribly good in close combat, in the hands of good player, it can outrun M16 easily with autofire and its stopping power

yeah i understand that, but if aa25.ini is empty on the base folder, does server then read all the information it needs to launch from /server/aa25srv.ini ? vause what i see this far /server/aa25srv.ini is original server.ini what WAS located in /System folder for both windows and linux versions in all AA2.X servers. And based on that structure, id presume that /server/aa25srv.ini is reflection of old /System/Config/basegame.ini which was read and rewritten encase there was no /System/server.ini at all. Correct if im wrong?
Dont want to be whiner but this is one thing that needs clarification, cause otherwise server admins cannot take the most out of their server, now for example hud is on basic setup, and some people might want to run their super realistic and without hud, also competition setup is somewhat undoable, if full system ini set is not used. aa25.ini is having only "some" of the variabled what server instance actually needs to have to run properly. Need to do some testing tomorrow, but trial&error is not the best way of doing search, i bet someone knows how software is designed, cause there is launcher afterall and someone has designed that launcher

okay got some of the values working from /server/aa25srv.ini but seems like code reads those two ini files both and cannot all figure out which is read from where someone who has done that launcher, should really step out now and hand over some documentation WHAT is altered from original, or otherwise this will go like old days by trial and error, which is not helping out community at all. ive got really kewl setup for tcadmin2 and will hand it over to everyone willing to use it for their servers, but first i need to make it 100% working and its only 98% now also as gift for community can create small tut what happens inside the ini structure when i get things tested out but cannot do this all alone atm

and we really need to advert this marvelous project to get as many as possible back to play, ive been harrassing my old clan m8s and suggest everyone of you do the same

what, does mapcycle work nowadays??

what does it take to run auth server or backup server? im afterall gsp..

do you have one auth or multiple auth server(s)?
