Howto set up your ETQW:TV Match and Replay Server (3651 Views)

Since etqw 1.4 got released we now got etqwTV support. Here is a quick and dirrty howto set up your servers.

We here at gtv figured out that it might be the better system to keep the setup like we had in ET.
Means: Reapeaters connect to matchservers. ETQW:TV supports that viewers are able to connect to the matchserver aswell (they wont be visible to the actual players, they are hidden specs), but we were not able to do some tests on that. Further we push the delay from one minute to 1.5 minute!

Here is now a matchserver.cfg. Paste those lines into your SERVER cfg and edit them:
//ETQWTV
seta g_viewerPassword "" // private client viewer pass! DO NOT SHARE THIS PW
seta ri_useViewerPass "1"
seta g_repeaterPassword "clanRep" // repeaterPW syntax: CLANTAG+Rep eg: tierRep 4kRep
seta g_privateViewerPassword "" // private viewer pw for clients DO NOT SHARE THIS PW
seta net_spawnRepeater "1" // tv server
seta ri_maxViewers "5" // 3 repeaters per Matchserver (no clients allowed is imo a good setup)

Restart your server now and all should be fine.

Now this is a repeater config! Edit this to your own likes.
SD does suggest to not use more than 256 slots per server.

seta net_serverRemoteConsolePassword ""

// Voting options

// Replayer stuff
g_repeaterPassword ""
g_privateViewerPassword ""
ri_privateViewers "10"
net_spawnRepeater "1"
ri_maxViewers "80"
net_repeaterPort "27777"
ri_useViewerPass "0"
net_clientRepeaterAutoDownload "1"
seta net_clientRepeaterDelay "1.5" // forced by gtv

seta si_rules "sdGameRulesStopWatch"
spawnserver maps/island

Connecting your ETQW:TV server to the matchserver is pretty easy.
connect ip:repeaterPort; password repeaterPass
thats all...

Note that the CFGs have changed!

If you connect directly to a matchserver set a delay of 1.5 == 90 secs
if you connect to a replayer which is connected to a server dont set any delay, since you'd have 3 mins delay then

we can look into that as soon we've fully understood the concepts ourselves :p

i started the work on a LOCAL c# client. by now you can log in like in ettvd and manage your servers (spawn new ones, sent them to the matchservers, spam messages and all this shit)

ill have a test function ready by weekend if any1 wants to test it
