Server Managment and the noob is at it again!
Posted: Mon May 13, 2024 10:29 pm
Thanks to all the help from Barbie and OjitroC I have my hosted server running pretty much how I want. Still one issue with weapons placement on the HUD but nothing to worry about now. All my weapons appear and are usable etc. So that's a win
So here's the noob question: Can I manage my hosted server from home the same way I would manage an a LAN server through the UT GUI.
In other words, when my buddy and I are playing on the GTXGaming hosted server, we want to change the Stuffswapper config for the next map. In order to do that now, I have to go to GTX portal for my server, shutdown the server, change the Stuffswapper config file and then restart. Of course when you do that, the map we wanted to play needs to be re-voted in with MapVote.
OR: is there a way to replace UT weapons with custom weapons without using Stuffswapper. Lets say I want to replace the chaingun with the Bunny Bomber (love that weapon . What ini and where would I do that so that applies to the server.
I am hoping there is a better way. Does this NexGen thing do that? And after reading the readme file and the first, second and last pages of that post, I am so lost on how to install much less use it. I guess I am looking for something that does the same as "BFRemote Manger" for "BattleField 1942" (for those that are familiar with that game)
I am sorry for these very basic questions, but I have played a lot of UT back in the day but I never ran a public server nor done a lot of programing etc for this game.
Thank You,
