is there anyway to change the port number when running a listen server?
-port 27017 in SET LAUNCH OPTIONS won't change it, still 27015.
Would like to change it since it's already in use of another server I have. Fun to play bots vs players sometimes.
Therefore I mentioned "Listen server" in the thread name & in the first post.
There is no such thing as a "listen ns2 server" ... . If you click on start server in the client the server software is started in the background anyway.
If you ask about a way to change the start params of a server started via the client gui then the answer is that there is no way to do it.

Ok you know that that is the ns2 client, not the server software ?
Look at steam under Libary -> Tools to get the server software or use the server.exe in your NS2 install folder. Also read this wiki article: http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Dedicated_Server

2. http://wiki.unknownworlds.com/ns2/Console_Commands:pt (search for the word "listen", as you can see, typing "map <mapname>" will create a (notice the description) "listen server" according to the NS2 team itself)

4. There is no other applications running from Natural Selection 2 folder more than ns2.exe and awesomium_process.exe
Edit: Made a little mod to enable you to change the port http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=247474012
Appreciate your time and thanks again
