Lemme know Thanks for all the feedback. Enjoy. //---------------------------------------------------------------------- // HOW SOME STUFF WORKS/OR DOESN'T WORK //---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE MAP LIST - It's built by checking every directory above the SOF\USER\ directory. Then it ofcourse searches for all files with the BSP extention. I did this method because the LST files didn't include all the maps you have(unless you like using notepad all day) I plan to have an alternate view which will read your custom LST files at a later date. In the meantime I created a routine which remembers your "favorite" map list, so you need only create it once. BACKUP OLD CFG - Every time the game is launched it makes a backup of the last dedicated.cfg called "Dedicated.bak". I've got it disabled right now because I plan to change some of the backup methods. DM_FLAGS MENU - This menu actively responds to the gametype selected and automatically invokes/nullifies/disables/enables the DM_FLAGS in accordance with the table listed at: http://www2.ravensoft.com/users/jscott/sof/dedguide.htm I'm pretty sure I got it right, but if you see something funky let me know. SOF LOCATION - It's still using the "type-in" method. I haven't bothered to dummy-proof it so please leave the last "\" and the "SOF.EXE" out of this line. I plan to replace this method by reading the [email protected] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\sof.exe (I hope it works) FILE DEFINITIONS: (all but the EXE text files) -SOFStarter.EXE - SOF Server Launcher executable. -SOFStarter.CFG - Configuration file. Used to store default config. -SOFStarter.MAP - Stores last maplist used. -SOFStarter.CUS - Stores any custom maps added(PAK Maps). //---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Extract SOFStarter.Exe to you SOF folder. (e.g. C:\Program Files\Raven\SOF Gold) 2. Create a shortcut on your desktop to this program. 3. Launch the program. 4. Follow Steps 1-7 and press "GO". Enjoy... //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZIP file should include: SOFStarter.EXE 139,264 bytes 03/26/2002 11:49pm Readme.TXT 4,229 bytes 03/26/2002 11:51am //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
