Simple Server question
« on: July 07, 2014, 12:46:03 am »


               

How do I set up a server to load a specific module?


 


I'm using a third-party server host who's never ran NWN before. It looks like everything is set up correctly, as the server is online but there's no actual module. I need to set a default module so it knows what to load.


 


Googling around, it seems to suggest running the dedicated server with a command line, but not sure if that's the best way to go? Should I edit one of the .ini files?


 


Thanks!

Have a look at the nwnplayer.ini, there are server specific options there that you can set under [Server Options]. This does not include the actual option to load a module. Have a look at the information here which contains some useful information.


 


 Under Windows you can create a shortcut to the server that launches the server and loads the module by adding the following to the Target Field ""C: \NeverwinterNights \NWN \nwserver.exe" -servername <module name> -port <eg 5200> -maxclients <number eg 20> -minlevel <level eg 1> -maxlevel <level eg 40> (note: when typing your server specific information don't include the symbols <>. Personally I use NWNX to launch the server and module. I have never tried running the NWN Server under Linux.
