2. Launching a server using command prompt (DOS/Linux)

You can type in any of the two following commands to start a server:

Ucc server

*This will use the default server settings that can be found in the System folder. To know what is the default server settings file, refer to your ravenshield.ini


[Engine.Server]
CurrentServerFile=Server.ini

or use the following command:

ucc server SERVERCFG=[Insert your server file name here]

*By default Server.ini will be used.

2.1 Launching a server using batch command file (.bat, .cmd) (Windows only)

You can also use these files to launch a server:

- Systemserveradver.bat
- Systemservercoop.bat

If you launch the server by using on of these two .bat files, the server will
automatically restart if it crashes.
You can change the name of the file you wish to initialize the server with.

@echo off
:restart
ren server.ini server.old
echo Renamed server.ini
copy [Your ini file name] server.ini -> Modify this line
echo Copied new ini file
echo Starting server...
ucc.exe server
goto restart

2.2 Launching a Linux server using batch command file (.sh) (Linux only)

You can also use these files to launch a server:

- Systemserveradver.sh
- Systemservercoop.sh

If you launch the server by using on of these two .sh files, the server will
automatically restart if it crashes.
You can change the name of the file you wish to initialize the server with.
Don't forget that you need to make the script and ucc executable. For most
versions of unix this can be accomplished
with the following command from the System folder:
chmod a+x ucc
chmod a+x serveradver.sh
chmod a+x servercoop.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Run forever
while [ true ];
do
mv Server.ini Server.old &&
echo Renamed Server.ini
cp ServerADVER.ini Server.ini && -> Modify this line
echo Copied new ini file
echo Starting server...
./ucc server
echo Restarting
done
