FAQ - RTCW

How do I setup the control panel for different mods and/or configs?

A few things you will need to do, that is standard with all mods.

For this example:

Let us pretend you are installing a mod called rtcwmod that has a folder called rtcwmod and a config file called myconfig.cfg.

1. The mod folder must be in your rtcw directory, not under main - it has to be on the same level as main.

rtcw/main
rtcw/rtcwmod

2. The myconfig.cfg must have a map command to kickstart the server.

3. In your Edit Config 1 - 4 (whichever you choose to use) you need to change the following:

server_mod_directory="main"

to the mod directory's name:

server_mod_directory="rtcwmod"

4. Please note some mod's require the forced loading of their own .so (dll) files - particularly server side mods.

If a mod requires something such as +set vm_game 0, you can change the following in your control panel:

server_vm=""

to:

server_vm="vm_game 0"

If it requires additional vm options, the format is as such, for example:

server_vm="vm_game 0 +set vm_game 1 +set vm_game 2"

5. You need to change this:

server_config1="generic.cfg"

to

server_config1="myconfig.cfg"

6. You also need to change:

rcon_password="insertserverrconpasswordhere"

Update it with your myconfig.cfg's rcon password. If you do not do this, your server will restart every 24 hours without a 5 minute countdown warning to players.

7. Click save and Start Config 1 - 4 (whichever was edited).

Please keep in mind this was all a part of an example scenario, and you will have to change folder and file names according to the mod and/or custom configuration you installed.
