<div class="IPBDescription">Some tips..</div> If you are interested in running an NS server for your LAN party or just for fun and you do NOT have an internet connection you should put this cvar in your startup line:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->
mp_uplink 0
sv_lan 1
sv_nomaster 1
<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This will disable the server's communication with ns.org (and WON) so will not retrieve a wonid db for those that should have icons(excluding WONID specified in mp_authicons cvar).
After that, just add your normal cvar's that you use for LAN.
Don't forget that mp_authicons/mp_servericons will NOT work on a LAN as you do not have real wonid's
Note: in the next patch of NS that will add VAC support you will need to add '-insecure' in the startup.

Comments
Server still searches/uses WON auth.
-insecure does not help too.
What server identifing the player after this ?
Try <b>-nomaster</b> as a command line parameter instead. It will disable the MasterServer Communication.
Without having an alien on the other team, you cant place nothing or do nothing unless you have an opponent.
Is there a command for this?
"sv_cheats 1" to turn cheats on
"bigdig" builds quickly and automatically when you place a structure.
"givepoints" gives you a certain amount of res.
I have put all these things in the server.cfg and the shortcut? what gives??
