Running server

[rewrew421]

hey guys, i am wondering how rF and other people are running these events. I beleive its from a command line and text file but im not sure?

I would like to know how you set up a race to include certain UIDs in a race, for example heat 1 and heat 2 they disable/enable certain UIDs to be in the race.

Thank you.

They made scripts to do it, I'm not totally sure on how those work, but the commands are

server, forcespec x x x / all
server, forceplay x x x / all

Where the x's are uid's and 'all' either forces everyone in spec mode or in play mode.

Before the 2011 season I did it all by hand. I was a busy guy on race night! Now we upload scripts to the server via ssh/scp.

Yea i figured thats how it was done but how do you get the scripts todo it with out restarting the server?

Im guessing its nuthin in the arg files then right?

There are scripts like this that you run with "server,exec heat1list.mxs". My scripts were made with a combination of emacs and unix shell scripts. Not sure what the rF guys make them with.

stackin macro on macros on macros.

I was the nut at work who preferred emacs over textmate..they don't even know what they're missinggg.

Are you a Lisp fan or no?

[jlv]

Sort of, but I don't like the nested parenthesis any more than the next guy. Given a choice I'd probably use Javascript for everything since it has Lisp like features with easier syntax.

True, the language and future specs been developed like crazy the past few years.
