Command Line Parameters - Dedicated Server

[chromedome35]

Besides the -LIVE parameter, has anyone ran across a list of other options?

Specifically, is there a Port parameter to specify the port that the server runs on (to set up more than 1 server on a box) ?

Thanks

[{XF} Doc]

help is a good one


as for a port no there is not but you can set up more than one service

h2server -createservice -name:blabla
h2server -createservice -name:blabla2

Something to that affect, like I said help is good one.

[{XF} Doc]

I was wrong on the wording

its h2server -createservice -live -name:blabla -user:account@domain.com
then h2server -createservice -live -name:blabla2 -user:account2@domain.com

you don't have to specify a port like you did in H1 or you can't specify a port.

yes yes a lot of our success is constant tinkering by Lowsy and myself...mostly lowsy

What should I do?? I tried so many times...:( Can someone help me? Maybe I did a mistake on writing?

[Vicky]

Why not just h2server -createservice -live ?

[LgK_BoZz]

because I want to run multiple instances on my PC...

[LgK_BoZz]

it's possible to run multiple instances? i see the previous page of this topic and XF Doc was saying that it's possible...someone can help me?

[Vicky]

Yeah it's possible, i'm pretty sure your user is the problem, it's not the 'live' user but a windows user. Make it simpler, like H2Server or something.

That is almost correct. But to have multiple instances you need to actually use the word 'instance' instead of 'name'. Also, as Vicky pointed out, the username should be an actual windows account. Not a Games for Windows Live account.

So try this:

h2server -createservices -live -instance:server1

Forget the username field.

Once you get that far, and an actual prompt comes up (h2server #server1$), then start issuing the 'live autosignin [silveraccountemail]' and the 'Live Key #####-#####-#####-#####-#####' command to actually get the server logged in and available for people to join.

Good luck. Let us know how you made out.

ty, I'll try this tomorrow 'cause now I'm busy with this stupid homeworks...

I did this for the first server, but when I tried with the 2nd server it told me that another process of the same game or the server was already running....

[Vicky]

Tried -instance:server2 for the 2nd?

[LgK_BoZz]

i tried h2server -createservice -live -instance:server2
and then h2server #server2$ -live

as I did previously for the 1st server h2server -createservice -live -instance:server1
then h2server #server1$ -live

it creates the account H2SERVER2 but i can't run the 2nd server...

[Vicky]

Once installed as a service you don't run the server anymore, it has become a background service. Are they both listed and active in your services? And are you connecting to the servers using h2admin? I don't think you are, use for every server the h2admin program. Use it like this: h2admin -live -instance:server1 (and 2 for the 2nd).
It's easy to create a batchfile for every server containing that command and create a shortcut on your desktop to those batchfiles, and that way you're almost setup to use the servertool too.

[LgK_BoZz]

ok, I try this immediatly..

[LgK_BoZz]

I do it!!!! oh yeah!!! ty Vicky!!!!!!!! <3

vicky can u help me with H2V Server Tool?

[Vicky]

Helped him out, he installed it on vista and was trying to get a game-provider to host a hv2 server...

[KIWIDOGGIE]

Does anyone know how to make the server "Invite Only" not VIP because I want to be able to invite friends without adding them to the VIP list.

[Syuusuke]

Don't think it is possible. What's wrong with just typing the command: vip add "Gamertag here"?

The server is in another room, but then again who said I needed to install vista on my new server. *thinks* Vicky is a h2v god. RCON ftw.

[Idjiki]

why don't you use realvnc or something like that to control your server in the other room? Or maybe i missed the point entirely.
