How do you make a dedicated server having no batch files no shortcuts and the message command prompt thing doesnt work. Can someone make a fully explainable way to make dedicated server or put a link to download the shortcuts???

Here this might work

Its so easy its basic scripting! Ive got like 10 of em and ive amde myself some recording.bats for leagu games

How?!? And wtf is the console window thing? And wth is the.bat thing supposed to be like???

@ Mr Big Show - Mac or PC?

Big show ok
go to tt and open the t folder up then double click product then craete a folder called dedicated
then open up notepad and type

Then save this notepad as TT1_2 TS.bat then fire up the bat and host ur dedicated server away
if you want a recording.bat put

ta da

I did that and nothing happened, and what do you mean to fire up the bat file? Open it? And max pc.

No double click it

I did that and I hosted my server and I went to check if it was on the on-line list but it wasn't. Can you be more detailed in what you say and I don't have a product folder.

Nvm I give max u take over

Sorry I'm on a MAC.

But the directions make pretty good sense to me.

If you bought you game form Garage Games then you should already have this stuff in your START Menu.

But if you got it from Shockwave then they should be in a folder named "Dedicated" in the "ThinkTanks" Game folder.
BraveTree/ThinkTanks/Dedicated
If you don't have a folder named "Dedicated" in the "ThinkTanks" Game folder. Make one.

In this new "Dedicated" folder you will probably want to make several of these.bat files, for different kinds of games.

So, make a file with the ending.bat with notepad (the default text editor for windows) that says something like this inside

1. The first line, 'cd..' is the DOS command to go to the parent folder which in this case is "ThinkTanks"

2. The second line is the line that launches ThinkTanks with a whole load of extra parameters

___________________________________________________________________________
These parameters are:

-dedicated tells it to run the game as a dedicated server

-mission "filename' tells it which mission file to use, where "filename" is one of the following:
game/data/missions/TT1_1.mis (Medulla Mesa)
game/data/missions/TT1_2.mis (Hypothalamus Hills)
game/data/missions/TT1_3.mis (Cranium Crater)
game/data/missions/TT1_4.mis (Freudian Flat)
GREEN (Random mission (cycles through the lush maps))
game/data/missions/TT2_1.mis (Hippocampus Hollow)
game/data/missions/TT2_2.mis (Comatose Canyon)
game/data/missions/TT2_3.mis (Greymatter Gorge)
game/data/missions/TT2_4.mis (Pituitary Plateau)
BLUE (Random mission (cycles through the spooky maps))
game/data/missions/TT3_1.mis (Synaptic Slopes)
game/data/missions/TT3_2.mis (Ganglia Gully)
game/data/missions/TT3_3.mis (Neurotic Nexus)
game/data/missions/TT3_4.mis (Receptor Ridge)
RED (Random mission (cycles through the frantic maps))
ALL (Random mission (cycles through all maps))

-game "XX" defines what type of game it is, where "XX" is either
B Battle Mode
S Scrum Mode
TB Team Battle Mode
TS Team Scrum Mode

Putting "-log 1" at the end of the path/command will log the console window to 'console.log' file.

E.g.
The following path/command would launch a dedicated server with random lush maps as a Team Battle game and would log the console window to 'console.log':

"ThinkTanks -dedicated -mission GREEN -game TB -log 1"

ThinkTanks ---- Parent Folder
-dedicated ---- Dedicated Server
-mission GREEN --- Mission Type
-game TB --- Game Type
-log 1 --- Keep a Log of the Console

___________________________________________________________________________

@ Mr Big Show - You may have shut the dedicated server down when you started TT.
Try having TT open already when you start (double click) the.bat file. It will open another.
Another option is to make a copy of the game, so that you have two. One for dedicated server and one for play. Which is better so you can MOD one and leave the other for playing.

MAX

Where is your start menue

First of all, If you cannot find your start menu, you shouldent be allowed on the internet
Second of all, this thread is over a year old.... No one is going to answer you here

Then why did some one just write on it

The first day when Big Show learned how to launch dedicated servers... I'm so proud ;-)
