Can someone help me with launching a dedicated server? Just hosting the regular maps on TT nothing special, and have it switch through bm,tbm,ts,and scrum that would be cool... Anyone?

Hi Juicy,
Well the first advice is click on the "Dedicated Server" link to the left of this post in the Topics Menu Bar. Be sure to read all of that. If you are having trouble, then return here w/your questions. :)

PS. Here's an exerpt from that page:

 

If you have purchased the game from GarageGames, then you should have a whole load of extra shortcuts built into the start menu, inside the 'ThinkTanks' section. You should see a 'Launch Dedicated Server' which then expands to show 'Lush', 'Spooky' or 'Frantic'. Each of these will then expand to show the game type you want to play: 'Battle', 'Scrum', 'Team Battle' or 'Team Scrum'. Each of these will expand once more to show you the available maps for your choice so far, including a 'Use Random Mission' option which will cycle through the four available maps for after the other.

 

 

Click on your "Start" menu, then click on "All Programs", then click on "ThinkTanks", which will open up to more choices. In it you will find "Launch Dedicated Server". Click on that. Next, you'll see more goodies to choose from. The above directions give you the rest. If you need any help, just let me know.

KC :)

@TankManiaCTSD)UT,

If you go to the same site I highlited for Juicy, then you'll see all the steps you can take to "manually" start your Dedicated Server. I didn't do it that way. I used to have the Real Arcade version, which doesn't have the "shortcuts", so I actually uninstalled it, and re-purchased it through Garage Games. I made that decision after having read the page I highlited earlier. I wanted the "easy way out" :S XD
I'm not familiar w/Reflexive, and never did familiarize myself w/manual start up, since I never had to. I will take a look at it though. Be sure you do too. Let me know what you've learned, and I will share what I find too. :)

Ok ill try that once I get some Q's answered... First, I want to make the server switch through ALL lush maps. Have it switch through SCRUM and TEAM SCRUM each time the 4th lush map is completed. I want to add all GOLD bots to the server... How do I do that? Hmmmmmmmm....

Oh just one other thing Juicy. The directions I gave you are to get your Dedicated Server up and runnning. Change missions/Rotation missions too. As far as using all gold bots, that can be done by editing your "Prefs.cs" file. I'll show you how as soon as you get your server running. :)
