OK 3 questions for you guys...
First a little background info for you which may help.
Im running Jcoop4 gametype

1) I want to disable players throwing weapons.

2)I would like the monsters "names" to be displayed NOT just their health.

3)I Don't want the server log overwritten everytime the server is restarted. I want the log appended to.

Here's my current command line>>>>>>>>>
unreal.exe nyleve?game=JCoop4.JCoopGame?mutator=jTool3.psiMut,DZMapM.DZMapMutator?difficulty=3 -server INI=server.ini -LOG=serlog1.log

All help is good help

Thanks

In reference to your log reply..........

I can't get that to work, are you sure your syntax is correct?
Did some lines get moved to the wrong lines?

And as far as restarting the server goes do I use this to start it?
OR is this suppose to "self-execute" after a crash. Because I don't see how.

Thanks..

>> Yes, that's how it works. Put the text in a .bat file in your system folder together with NAMEDATE.EXE. Then add your unreal command line options, save it and start it. It will start Unreal and restart it we Unreal exits. Manually exit your Unreal server to test.

Ok, i'll comment each line:

@echo off >> Cemoves certain DOS messages
echo.
echo De server is started at %date% %time%. >> only tells when the server started
echo.
ren server.log old.log >> renames the log file instead the server froze or manually restarted. Be sure you use the correct log name here.
NAMEDATE /Z:"Y-m-d H-M-S" "old.log" >> adds the date and time to the logfile.
:crashed >> In case of a crash...
Unreal.exe <Unreal command line options> >> (re)start Unreal
rename server.log servercrash.log >> rename server log
NAMEDATE /Z:"Y-m-d H-M-S" "servercrash.log" >> add date and time to the log
echo.
echo The server crashed and restarted at %date% %time%. >> displays a message that the server crashed
echo.
goto crashed >> go to the :crashed line

This script works because I copied it from the script I use myself. I only translated the text output from Dutch to English.

OK I figured it out I did have a syntax error in there.
I also added the switch "Y" to the lines
NAMEDATE /YZ:"m-d-Y H-M-S" "old.log"
and
NAMEDATE /YZ:"m-d-Y H-M-S" "servercrash.log"
Without using the "Y" switch in name.exe the server will NOT restart by itself because it will hang on line>>>>>>>>>>>
NAMEDATE /Z:"m-d-Y H-M-S" "servercrash.log
Awaiting a Yes/No/Quit response.

It also needs a "wait" command in there before unreal.exe, I'm still working on that one..heh

That's a GREAT tip though Hyper THANKS

I love the way it names them by dates and times for easy archiving...it rocks buddy.

">> You'll need a new HUD for that as far as I know."

Is that something you are using Hyper?
If so, care to share?

Thanks

OK thanks for the help

Here's the proper syntax for the wait command.
It needs to be in there if you are going to use the "Y" switch.
It gives Unreal time to close before starting back up.
