Deer Hunter 2004 - Parameters to Launch a Dedicated Server Using Command-line or
Batch File (BAT)
====================================================================================
============================
>>> Dedicated-server, launching from a command-line or batch file (BAT):
It is possible to launch a dedicated-server without initializing the game itself
(without graphics and
sounds). It allows you to launch a server in a network server computer more
easily, like adding a command
to the machine's start up configuration.
Please take a look at the "RunDedicated.bat" file (send it to the Notepad) to get
an example of how to
launch a dedicated-server using a BAT file.
When a dedicated-server is launched by this method, it will not start up graphics
and sounds of the
game. The initial loading process is silent and takes some seconds to the server
be online.
One important point is DirectX still required in the machine. The game doesn't
start graphics and sounds
but it uses the DirectPlay API to deal with network stuff.
This game uses the TCP/IP port number 23457 to communicate, so if you want to
configure your firewall
to host a match you can allow this port number.
