Thank you for downloading the Server Launcher. This is a rather simple tool that will help you to Launch a default server from a configuration file.
Installation
---
Unzip the content of this zip file into your Ace of Spades install.
Usage
---
You need to set the parameters in Server.ini with your options. If you delete or lose server.ini you may need to redownload, or recreate.
Example Server.ini
[server]
;Set the number of players
max=32
;Set the name of the server
name=sadbb
;Advertise on the Master Server (play page)
advertise=n
;Set when the server should restart, in hours. (will kick everyone off the server, then start again)
restart=2
;The following is to set a rotatable map list. You need at least two maps in this list.
;You can have more than three maps.
;To generate a map type gen, or use a custom map that you have placed inside of the vxl folder.
[1]
map=gen
[2]
map=anotherworld
[3]
map=slam
Now you just run ServerLauncher.exe and then go play. It will shutdown the server after the time you set has gone by and load the next map in the list.
