BigMix Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I was wondering if there is a way to get cod to not create the .callofduty dir in a linux setup? right now im having issues having mutiple run because its creating one dir under /home/tcadmin which right now wont let any of my servers run because its looking in a different dir for the files it needs. Any help on this would be great Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I don't quite follow that. Are you looking to NOT create the server.cfg file? Or are you speaking of the userfiles directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMix Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 well usually i would run a server per user. which would be fine because it would create a hidden dir under /home/user/.callofduty for each server. Now since im using tcadmin it creates /home/tcadmin/.callofduty and all my servers use that and i think its messing up. Because right now i cant even start the servers anymore and all it gives me is unknown error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Double check that you created a userfiles folder. Should be something similar to /home/tcadmin/userfiles As a game server is setup that software will create a sub directory called the <username> and put the files for that user in there. Each user should have their own sub directory containing their files. You can set the Userfiles path in System Settings>Servers. Click on a server and look for the "User Files Path" field.

BigMix Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 yeah i have that but when cod runs it runs as tcadmin not the user that you set the server too. so it creates the hidden folder in /home/tcadmin not /home/tcadmin/UserFiles/whatever.

BigMix Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 if i wanted to set +set fs_homepath to /home/tcadmin/customers/username/GameServer/Servername how would i do that in the command line so it would change to what was needed for each server. is there a variable to do that because i manually ran this with that path set and it fixed my issues with cod on linux. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 You can use the %userfilespath% variable in the commandline, in the game config. So the command would be something like +set fs_homepath %userfilespath% You can also add onto that if you need to go down further into the directories like: +set fs_homepath %userfilespath%/<directoryname> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
