Server Problems

[Bruce422]

So I am trying to make a server for the team I am a member of, and I followed the tutorial on her. Only when I make the new batch file and try to open, the client screen opens and closes really quick. I have been looking and looking and cant find a way to fix this. Can anyone help me?

Add a line to the end of the batch file like this:

pause

It won't fix the problem but at least you'll be able to see any error messages you're getting.

The batch file I downloaded fro you or the one I make? Thanks for the help.

Okay JLV, it says that the cd Directory Of mxserver:
The system cannot find the path specified. Then it also says, 'mxserver' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sounds like you've found your problem. It failed when it tried to change (i.e. cd) to the mxserver folder. You need to fix the pathname after the cd command.

I know this is going to make me sound like an idiot, but I have no clue what any of that means.

Edit the batch file located in the "mxserver" folder. (Right-Click then "Edit")
There will be a path name located at the top, this path name needs to correspond to the location of the exe.

Example:
I have the mxserver folder located in my Documents.
So my batch file STARTSERVER looks like:

Code: Select all

cd C:\Users\Jake\Documents\mxserver
mxserver.exe --args-file serverargs.txt

If it were located on my Desktop per say, it would look like:

Code: Select all

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

Does this help bud?
Cheers
