startup.txt not working correctly Need Help

[SycoKill3r]

Hi there im going to make this shorta and sweet to the point . Here is my startup.txt info minus the password

Code: Select all

vars.serverName [CIA] Community International Alliance
vars.serverDescription Welcome to the official website of the Community International Alliance! | We are proud to have such dedicated members in our community. | The CIA is NOT about skill or how your game-play is, we are all about maturity, and fun!
vars.adminPassword *********
vars.bannerUrl http://ciaclan.net/7.png
vars.gamePassword
vars.idleTimeout 300
vars.playerLimit 16
vars.profanityFilter true
vars.punkBuster true
vars.ranked true
vars.hardCore true
vars.teamBalance true
vars.killCam false
vars.miniMap false
vars.crossHair false
vars.3dSpotting false
vars.miniMapSpotting false
vars.thirdPersonVehicleCameras true
vars.friendlyFire true
levelVars.set all respawnDelay 4
levelVars.set all vehicleSpawnRate 200
#levelVars.set all tickets 100
levelVars.set all startDelay 10
#levelVars.set all ticketBleedSpeed 75

I also tried this

Code: Select all

levelVars.set all respawnDelay 4
levelVars.set all vehicleSpawnRate 200
#levelVars.set all tickets 100
levelVars.set all startDelay 10
#levelVars.set all ticketBleedSpeed 75

And here is image of in game and the settings are not sticking. it looks the same no matter what i change.


And my bc2cc shows this


Does anyone know why my settings are not reflecting what i have in my startup and in game?

Does anyone ever check the forums anymore?

[RobbingHood]

After starting and shutting down the forums, is the startup.txt changed? I mean, does it still contain the parameters that you entered?

If not, set it read-only.

Otherwise, did you try changing the settings with BC2CC ?

You have to put values that contain spaces or other special characters in quotes.

Like this:

Code: Select all

vars.serverName "[CIA] Community International Alliance"
vars.serverDescription "Welcome to the official website of the Community International Alliance! | We are proud to have such dedicated members in our community. | The CIA is NOT about skill or how your game-play is, we are all about maturity, and fun!"
vars.adminPassword "*********"
vars.bannerUrl "http://ciaclan.net/7.png"
vars.gamePassword ""
vars.idleTimeout 300
vars.playerLimit 16
vars.profanityFilter true
vars.punkBuster true
vars.ranked true
vars.hardCore true
vars.teamBalance true
vars.killCam false
vars.miniMap false
vars.crossHair false
vars.3dSpotting false
vars.miniMapSpotting false
vars.thirdPersonVehicleCameras true
vars.friendlyFire true
levelVars.set all respawnDelay 4
levelVars.set all vehicleSpawnRate 200
#levelVars.set all tickets 100
levelVars.set all startDelay 10
#levelVars.set all ticketBleedSpeed 75

Also why is your server streaming to punkbusted? Punkbuster is disabled and so useless.

NEver changed it back because the bc2cc wont do messages scrolling and only way o know how to get that to work is the pbsv files.

Doesnt read only make it so it Dont save changes?

What I meant was, maybe the server overwrites your settings. Then it might help if you set it read-only.
