Esc+c menu

[Aarbear]

Why is it that when I try to access the esc+c menu in my zone, it just *getfiles me an empty server.set file?

So right now, when I need to change a setting, i need to *getfile server.set (if I do it like that, it sends me my actual server.set file, not some random empty one) edit it, and then *putfile it back into the arena...

It's a pain in the !@#$%^&*, and I just know I'm doing something wrong. Help please. :>

use server.cfg, not server.set

 

the server pretty much takes the .cfg and makes a .set with it

[Aarbear]

I have server.cfg in my zone folder as well.

You said to "use" it. How do I use it, what do you mean by that?

And should I delete the server.set that is in my zone folder?

Also, is this the problem that is making my esc+c menu not function properly?

Thanks.

Do you have a template.sss file?

 

Also, what he meant by "use" was "edit the .cfg, instead of using .set" - it takes a little getting used to, and it's annoying to have to wait for an update*, but it's worth it for the added convenience.

 

 

 

*one time I spent an hour changing the same variable over and over, because it took 10+ minutes to update, and I didn't realize it was doing anything. Oh, the fun you can have with SS.

No, I can't seem to find a template.sss file. You know where I can download just that?

Also, what should the cfg file be called? Server.cfg?

And, how do I make it so that I can edit it through esc+c?

Because like I said earlier, right now when I hit esc+c... it *getfiless me and empty server.set for some unknown reason.

What do I do with that? ^

[Samapico]

Just put it in your server folder.

 

And by 'use' it, I meant, if you manually change settings, do it in server.cfg, and if you want to upload settings to a server, use *putfile server.cfg, not the .set. Esc-c will modify things in the .cfg.

[Aarbear]

Ah, I get what you're saying now.

Alright, I've got the template.sss file now... but for some odd reason esc+c STILL sends an empty server.set file to me.

I tried putting the template.sss in my cont file and *putfiling it. And I also tried just sticking it in my zones folder... if that is supposed to allow me to use esc+c, it didn't work. :/

 

By the way, I really really appreciate the time you guys put into answer mine/other peoples questions. It's really helpful.

[Samapico]

But is there any server.cfg on the server?

 

template.sss should be in the server's folder, without this, esc-c probably doesn't work. But you need to have a server.cfg too, otherwise... actually I have no idea what happens

[Aarbear]

Yeah man, i have both of those in my zone folder... this is why im so confused as to why this isn't working out for me :/

Starting to think that continuum just doesn't like me :>

Is there anything that I must *putfile?

Or anything else I could be missing?

Because someone else is hosting this zone for me, I just ftp'd the files.

So I guess there is a chance I could be missing something vital... althought I did copy EVERYTHING from what I ftp'd.

best way to update after a putfile for the cfg is a recycle of the arena

that or just wait for it to re-read the file
