Starting the server via FireDaemon

[101uk]

Im posting this on behalf of someone else, what he needs to know is, what are the command lines that he can use in FireDaemon (auto service starter) to run the etqw dedicated server .exe along with the .cfg that he wants.

Hope this makes sense to someone!

"C:\Games\ETQW Beta 2 Lite Server\etqwded.exe" +exec PGServer.cfg +set fs_savePath "C:\Games\ETQW Beta 2 Lite Server\ETQW1"

Thats the line I use for my shortcut I created to run my server. It would be the same in FireDaemon as well. Note the +set fs_savePath is only needed if you run more than 1 server on the same machine with the same install.

Thanks for your help, that seems to work as a shortcut but an error of the following occurs when trying through Firedaemon: FATAL ERROR: Sys_DefaultUserPath: SHGetFolderPath on CSIDL_PERSONAL failed


Any suggestions?

My best guess: you're trying to run the server under a user account that doesn't have a personal directory under C:\Documents and Settings. Try setting the fs_userPath cvar on the command line and have it point to the same directory you're using for fs_savePath. Example:

"C:\Games\ETQW Beta 2 Lite Server\etqwded.exe" +exec PGServer.cfg +set fs_savePath "C:\Games\ETQW Beta 2 Lite Server\ETQW1" +set fs_userPath "C:\Games\ETQW Beta 2 Lite Server\ETQW1"
