Server Config?

[Bolloxed]

Hey,

I got a dedicated server sorted but I need to set up a server config files and assign a starting map.

However there doesn't appear to be anything in the documentation regarding this?

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

The starting map and some other options need to be specified in the 'startup' command line:

-console -game synergy +map d2_coast_07 -maxplayers 12 -insecure -port 27015

You should have (or create) a server.cfg in the .../Synergy/synergy/cfg/ folder, it would contain your server specific cvars:

hostname "server name here"
rcon_password "console password here"
sv_password "" //leave this blank for public server"
sv_downloadurl "URL to your download server"

sv_allowupload "1"
sv_allowdownload "1"
sv_allow_stuck "1"
sv_player_push "0"

sv_steamgroup "steam group ID if you have one"

//other cvars...
mp_player_death_items "0"
sv_weapon_lower_sprint "0"
sv_hl2mp_item_respawn_time "1"
sv_hl2mp_weapon_respawn_time "1"
sv_item_respawn_force "1"
mp_reset "0"
sv_cheats "0"

//Logging Options
log_verbose_enable "1"
sv_logbans "1"
sv_logecho "0"
sv_logfile "1"
sv_log_onefile "0"
sv_rcon_log "1"
con_timestamp "1"
log "on"

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've given up and abandoned the idea of setting up a few syngery servers - closed the servers and receieved refund.

Far too complicated. I used to run CS:S dedicated servers back 10 years ago so I assumed Synergy would be simular in setting up. I was wrong. No documentation, no info regarding server configs or options anywhere..

I understand now why there's hardly any servers or anyone playing.... it's just a buggy mess and a waste of time.

G'luck in the future, we'll stick to Sven in Bolloxed Land

Hi,

I have just managed to set up a dedicated server and it is working pretty well. There is one modification that I am not sure how to enable. I'd like to have the items and weapons we pick up in the game to respawn after they are picked up, so that each person playing can avail of them. What start up command can I use to set it as a default for my server?

Thanks!

In my experience the documentation the Synergy devs made isn't the greatest, many people out there have managed to make the process easier though. I found this guy named Balim who made a custom bat scripts that helps the process of making Synergy servers easier, he also made scripts to help install the support for certain mods as well like BM:Source, Entropy: Zero, as well as Prospekt. Here is a link to all the supports he has created, there you can also get the custom bat scripts he's made off his GitHub page: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=695527798
