How do I enable birthday mode?
How do I set the map rotation for my TFC server?
Where can I find a list of commands for running a server, or the commands for the game's console?
How do I lower the gravity in TFC?
When I try to start a TFC server it gives me the following error: "Error W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad" and closes the window. What can I do to fix this?
How do I get the note that comes up when people join my server (message of the day) to say what I want it to?
How do I enable birthday mode in TFC so that I
can throw presents instead of grenades?
tfc_birthday 1 enables birthday mode
tfc_birthday 0 disables birthday mode
both commands have to be typed into the server console either directly or
using rcon, the setting cannot be enabled by a client without control over
the server. They can also be set in the server's config files if you want
to run a server that is always in birthday mode.
How do I set the map rotation for my TFC server
(which maps it runs and in what order)?
Edit the file mapcycle.txt (in your tfc
folder) and add the names of the maps you'd like to run, in the order you'd
like them to come up on your server. The game searches this file for the
name of the current map, and then looks at the next line to determine which
map it should run next.
Where can I find a list of commands for running a
server for TFC? Where can I find a list of commands for the
game's console?
A helpful site for running servers ishttp://www.planethalflife.com/server/. They have info
on setting up your server, as well as a list of server commands.
If you are looking for a list of the possible console commands for
Half-life/TFC, you can try http://www.planethalflife.com/commands/ or I.am/TFC both of which have very good listings of Half-life/TFC
console commands.
How do I lower the gravity in TFC?
Note: This can only be done in the server
console or by someone with rcon on the server
To lower the gravity in the game, type sv_gravity in the console to find out
what the current gravity is, then type sv_gravity # where # is the value
you want the gravity set to. A number lower than the default will lower
gravity on the server, a value higher than the default will increase the
gravity.
I'm trying to set up a TFC server.
I installed HLDS4013, edited autoexec.cfg and server.cfg. Installed maps.
When I try to launch hlds from the shortcut I made (with command line:
C:\HLServer\hlds.exe -game tfc +maxplayers #) I get the following error
message in the MS-DOS shell:
Attempting to communicate with WON
Host_Init
FindFile: can't find gfx.wad
Error W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad
Then the MS-DOS shell closes.
It sounds like you may have a corrupted
install or download of the server. The first thing you should check is to
look into the valve directory for the gfx.wad file to make sure it's there.
If it isn't, it's more than likely that it's one of the above problems, if
it is there, you might want to try copying the wad file into the tfc
directory (though it should look in the valve directory for any files not
found in the tfc directory). More than likely, uninstalling the server
installation and deleting any remaining folders before installing again
will fix it, if not you may need to download the dedicated server again.
You may also want to check for a virus on your system as well as running
scandisk and defrag, just in case a virus or disk problem is cuasing the
installation/download to be corrupted.
How do I get the note that comes up when people
join my server (message of the day) to say what I want it
to?
Make a file in your /tfc folder called
motd.txt, put in whatever you want displayed, and it should show up.
However, on linux servers motd doesn't currently work. Remember, of course,
that clients can always disable this feature, and may not see your message
of the day(motd).
