Naming A Server From Commandline.

explodingheadboy

<div class="IPBDescription">What do I need to add to mine?</div> Ok, when I start my NS server my command line reads as follows. "C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hlds.exe -game ns +map ns_bast -noipx -nomaster -maxplayers 8"

What do I need to add to that to change the name of the server that displays when players view scores to something other than the default?

(If anyones confused about the -nomaster, its because the server is only for me and a few friends to play together on. I don't want it listed on the WON browser. Just in case someone felt like asking.)

hostname "Your server name"

Slap it in your server.cfg to make things easier <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Thanks guys. It helps a lot. Now when my friends join my server they'll be sure they're at the right place.

I was using -hostname... not +hostname. Ah, the subtleties of command lines.
