Not that you need to do it. As long as the bat file is in the same folder as everything else, it automatically sets the directory to that folder

[yzmxer608]

I have to change the directory, otherwise the cmd just closes. Here is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Nate\Desktop\MXS\mxserver\mxserver.exe --args-file serverargs.txt

Here is what the batch file contains for what I normally use (start cmd manually as admin, change directory to mxserver folder, then run this batch file)

Code: Select all

mxserver.exe --args-file serverargs.txt

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Have you tried something like this?

cd C:\Users\Nate\Desktop\MXS\mxserver
mxserver.exe --args-file serverargs.txt

[yzmxer608]

That worked . Thank you again Josh!

how do i get the .trackinfo into the serverargs.txt

[yzmxer608]

You get the .trackinfo files by going and riding a track, in the chat menu type /savetrackinfo. The .trackinfo file for that track will be saved in your personal folder. You have to create the args file (just a plain txt file) then add all of the parameters stated in the Read Me.

i know i did that, but how do i get the .trackinfo in the .txt. this is what i have in the serverargs.txt
--port 19800
--max-clients 5
--greeting "HTD server"
--ban-file bans.txt
--results-file results.txt
--track-interval 15
--minutes 3
--password xxxxxx
--port 19800
--antiearth.trackinfo
i dont know if thats whats supposed to be in there, bu here's what i have in the traget of the mxsim shortcut
"C:\Documents and Settings\tony a\Desktop\MX Simulator\mx-2009-09-14.exe" --hidden-pause --password xxxxxxxx

[yzmxer608]

add "--laps x" in the args file, then under that add --trackname.trackinfo, a new line for each trackinfo file. If you have all of the trackinfo files in a folder inside the server folder do "--foldername\trackname.trackinfo".

then how do i open the server, because i got my IP address, but the server wont open.thnx for your help yz, and hopefully you can continue to help me

[yzmxer608]

Make a batch file (can do it in notepad++) and put this in it "mxserver.exe --args-file serverargs.txt" (without quotes).

[tyskorn]

what kind of file do i save it as?

[yzmxer608]

.bat, it should be in the list when you go to Save as.

[tyskorn]

i didnt see .bat just .txt

[yzmxer608]

Are you using notepad++? It shows up for me after I went to File>New, then went to File>Save as.

[tyskorn]
