how are you editing it? what name are you trying to put?

chrisgbk · « **Reply #4 on:** July 24, 2006, 02:01:44 pm »

Make sure you are changing the name while the server is NOT running. If the server is running, not only will it not update, but I believe the server re-saves the ini file when you close it, removing any changes made. (not sure on this point)

Just save your changes over top of soldat.ini, don't delete it. Unless you save your settings as soldat.ini and not a different filename after you delete it. Or if you manually specifiy the config file, which is for advanced users.

If you don't have a soldat.ini, the server will just crash.

What you should have done:

1) Open soldat.ini
2) Change the relevant values
3) Save the file
4) If the server is on a different computer, upload and overwrite the existing one.

You shouldn't ever have to delete that file. If you uploaded your changed soldat.ini, what was the filename you used? If it was the same filename, then it would have overwrote the old one, so when you deleted it, you actually deleted the new one.

When you try to run the server, what does it tell you?

ill get u sick ~ L · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2006, 11:29:02 am »

well i see if it says ne thing at the remote and when i press server admin its says niyhing

chrisgbk · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2006, 11:45:01 am »

What I mean is, when you start the server, what does the console window say in it?

no

"no" is not a valid answer... get off the internet.

EnEsCe, if you intend to help people at all then fix your atitude and reply in a way that promotes a useful thread.

If you can't do that, don't post at all until you can

Maybe you should start from scratch

1 - Unpack the zip archive of the server
2 - Open soldat.ini up in notepad (or your text editor)
3 - Find the line which says Server_Name=Soldat Dedicated Server
4 - Add your server name so that it says something like Server_Name=Some Server Name
5 - While you are at it, add an admin password
6 - Save soldat.ini over the original and close notepad (or your text editor)
7 - Run soldatserver

You can't edit soldat.ini while the server is running and you can't delete soldat.ini and expect the server to still run (unless specifically you tell the server to load from a different config file when you turn it on)

I hope that has helped, if you have any further problems please write exactly what you have done and what appears that you would not expect.
