[edit] 9)
Open your My Documents/Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul/Game/ make a notepad file and call it "autoexec.cfg". Or any name ending with .cfg should work. In this file type :
exec map_rotation.cfg
// You can also try adding custom settings here (not sure if it will overwrite the startup.cfg for you) Like this:
Set svr_name "your server name" Set svr_desc "Maps Updated Daily" Set svr_location "Where your server is" Set svr_maxClients "how many players can join" Set svr_password "pass to connect to server" Set sv_maxTeamDifference "4" Set sv_team1Race "Human" Set sv_team2Race "Beast"

Make a shortcut to your server desktop to your Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul/DedicatedServer.bat file. Notice there are 2 of these. Use the one with no space between the words dedicated and server in the name.
[edit] 11)
To start server:
A. Double click the shortcut to dedicatedserver.bat on you desktop. B. Give it a few seconds. Two boxes will popup. One has a "chat" box where you can talk to clients on the server and more importantly a "command" box. In the command box type: exec autoexec.cfg (or whatever you named the file) and press enter. This will load your map rotation as well as any settings yaóu put in that file. If you get a message saying something like: "server is not started yet", type startserver in the command box and press enter. Then the exec autoexec.cfg thing again.

Here are a few helpful commands and settings to send through your command box and for your config file:
[edit] A.
endgame 1 (or 2) Ths will cause the team # you selected to loose and send the server to the next map. (great for checking your rotation)
[edit] B.
startgame This cause the game to start nomatter how many clients are connected.
[edit] C.
serverstatus This will show clients connected, disconected etc.
[edit] D.
You can always do a exec autoexec.cfg in the command box after changing either the map_rotation or the settings in autoexec.cfg . This will add the changes to the server.
[edit] E.
startserver This starts the server if for some reason it doesn't start itself.
[edit] F.
svr_adminPassword "yourpwdhere" If you want to admin the server, an admin password would be nice.
[edit] G.
svr_remotePass "put-your-remote-admin-pwd-here" This one is needed forRemote Access to your Server.
