Thanks for all the info i am in no rush to start up the server as long as we got more servers than players... annyway the game is still in an early stage. So there for i will try to get this server settings and scripting into my fingers
manage to start the server and load up the map. Only issu is that i can only see the server in LAN window i got the port 27016 and port 20000 open.
Still no luck. but i guess that it can be some settings in the "confs.ini" like in il2 1946 i tryed various settings and ip but...

So how do you ppl edit the confs file? and wath ports do you open ? anny special ports for Steam?

Here is my defoult confs how should it look like ?

A question to those who ran a dedicated server in Il-2 via HyperLobby.
How to make your dedi server visible in HyperLobby?

Regarding CloD they say only

This version of HL like latest one support automated server session startup via -a commandline parameter, so there is not problem automate dedicated server registration via HyperLobby ...

How can Repka admin "automate dedicated server registration via HyperLobby"? I would like to pass this info to him.

Thanks in advance.

ps. HL client test discussed here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=25745&page=3

As I recall I just renamed the dedicated exe to il2fb.exe.Then I registered a new account name in HL(the name I wanted the server to show up as).I login to HL with the server name and start the server as if I was just starting a game.(clicking in the top open slot in a mission room).Hl does the rest.

I am not sure what all this automated(and command line) stuff is all about.

It can be done in two steps:

1./ Setup game server - Click top slot in OPEN MISSION 1,2 or 3 it will show game server setting dialog, in the dialog fill all details regarding the server and do not forget check "Dedicated server" checkbox. Then click save and beside the OPEN MISSION labell wil be show blue button. Click it and hit "Start the game" button. This will start the server and you can check if all is OK ...

2./ Close the server and HyperLobby. Create new shortcut for HyperLobby, click properties and add -a commandline parameter so it will look like this on my computer:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperLobby client\hyperlobby.exe" -a

Click the shortcut and HL automaticaly start the dedicated server and register itself with last game server configuration ...

When the game server is running in -a (automatic mode) and is closed by itself or by admin , HL will close automatically too. You can use it for regular server restart by its own "exit" console command and scripted HL startup ...
