![]() ![]() If you know that some functions do not work (or behave differently) with some versions of OpenArena, it could be a nice idea to write it. It would be a nice thing to include also a section to "restore standard configuration" to allow users to create a separate custom configuration file to execute to undo the changes previously applied to variables that are stored (for example, if your example sets g_elimination 1, it would be nice to have another cfg file that sets it to 0 -its default- again). The second one needs a little more work for the final user, but is advisable because it removes the need to update that generic configuration parts each time also here, other than in the main example. Of course, you can put more variants of the same concept in a single page) to show a nice custom configuration, please remember to explain if that server configuration is "complete" or it talks only about the settings really related to the specific customization, and the user should integrate that configuration with the values he can find in the main server config example. When you add a new example to this page (please use a sub-page of this one for each example. Typing \g_elimination 1 in console directly from the main menu could give "Unknown command g_elimination" error typing \set g_elimination 1 everything should work correctly. In these configuration files, we suggest to set the variables using set (usually) or sets (to have them shown in the server status), because some of them (like g_elimination) could not be recognized until you start a match. It should be updated for the latest OpenArena releases, and cover all the main settings, like the server name, the maximum and minimum pings allowed, etc. The main example of a server configuration is the one you find here: Servers#Server config example. They could be a good read, before trying the particular game styles you can find here. Please read Manual/Multiplayer and Servers pages for more informations about how to start a server. ![]() In case you exec an "A" file which in turn execs a "B" file, when B ends, A continues from where it left. for from your Operating System command line, like OpenArena.exe exec test.cfg under Microsoft Windows). They require you know a bit how to use the game's console commands, and how to manage custom configuration files (you can create such files with a plain text editor, give them a name -for example, test.cfg-, place them in your baseoa folder, launch OpenArena and execute that configuration with \exec command -for example, \exec test.cfg. You could find them useful when playing offline or when starting your own server.
