Config makes no difference

[24play1]

On my COD servers when I make a build the server loads fine but when I do a Serverinfo and join it it shows as the config it imported

 

 

 

Even when I change that config or replace server.cfg with a clients backup I still see the server called CoDHost instead of the client name

 

 

 

I have deleted the mp_config and let it be re-populated as the server starts to see if that was it but no difference it still shows as CoDHost

[Jissh]

can you post the config file tcadmin is using. Must be something in there.

[ECF]

What are you using for a commandline?

The only thing that I could see that maybe happening is your not filling in the server name when you set it up there for it defaults to CoDHost.

[24play1]

I have even taken the server.cfg deleted it and placed the clients own pre-filled one

 

 

 

and still it comes up as CoDHost

[ECF]

Check the config_mp.cfg file located in /main/server

 

 

 

I bet you will find it in there.

 

 

[24play1]

But as I said, I deleted that to let it get re-populated once the server started with the ready made server.cfg

 

 

 

One of our guys thinks its all to do with server.cfg

 

 

 

He changed it to dedicated.cfg and it worked fine its really strange
