The file server.ini is the initialization file for subgame that controls all of the global settings. Individual arena's settings are stored in arenaname.cfg. The following are the various sections in the server.ini.

Contents

Validation

See Validation.


Custom

These settings configure custom arenas. (I think?)

ArenaMode

Datatype: Enumeration.

This controls the ownership of private arenas. By "own a new subarena", it means that if the selected level of player creates a new subarena with ?go, and the arena does not have settings associated yet, Subgame2 will create settings for that arena and assign ownership to the creating player. If the player creating the arena is below the selected level, Subgame2 will still create settings for the arena, but will not grant ownership.

  1. Any player can own a new subarena
  2. Mods+ can own a new subarena
  3. SMods+ can own a new subarena
  4. Sysops can own a new subarena
  5. Special: New subarenas will just use spawn.cfg (that is, a new CFG must be placed in the server directory manually to give an arena its own settings)

Setting the value to 0 disables subarenas altogether.

Arena

These settings configure default arena settings.

ArenaMaxPlayers

Datatype: Count.

Number of players allowed in any arena. (This can be overridden in the Misc Settings for an arena.)


ArenaDesiredPlayers

Datatype: Count.

Subgame will create a new arena for entering players once an arena hits this population. This is different from the above setting in that users can still manually enter an arena with this population.


ArenaMinimumPlayers

Datatype: Count.

Minimum number of players in a public arena before subgame automatically sends a message advising players to move on.


SpawnKeepScores

Datatype: Boolean (1=yes,0=no).

Whether player-spawned arenas keep track of scores.


MaxArenas

Datatype: Count.

The maximum number of arenas subgame will allow.


MaxArenasMemory

Datatype: Bytes.

The maximum amount of memory subgame will allocate for arena data. Normally the default should suffice.


Comms

Communication (networking) settings.

MaxQueueToLogin

Datatype: Count.

Maximum number of clients waiting to login. Any that try when this limit is exceeded will receive the message "The server is busy handling other login requests. Please try again in a few moments. If problem persists, seek help at the Tech Support Forums found at www.subspacehq.com".


PacketHistoryMax

IncomingBufferSize

OutgoingBufferSize

EncryptMode

UnreliableBufferSize

TransportBufferSize

FlushTime

Datatype: Milliseconds.

Subgame will queue position packets for this amount of time before sending them. Setting this too high will severly lag your zone.


BandwithIdleTime

Datatype: Seconds.

Subgame will stop sending position packets to a spectator after this time of inactivity. Useful for saving bandwidth.


SelectTime

Datatype: Milliseconds.

Time delay subgame should wait for incoming packets before continuing on. This is recommended over CPU:SleepTime.

Enables "logging" of commands to the biller. It is recommended to turn this off, as it normally just wastes bandwidth.


IP

The address of the biller. If you are running the biller on the same computer as subgame, set this to localhost.

Datatype: String.

The password to connect to the biller. Normally, this should be the same as subbill.ini's Misc:Password.


ServerName

These settings control subgame's built-in advertisement capability. To use advertisements, just create bitmaps in the SS Palette and save them in the subgame directory as ad0.bmp,ad1.bmp, etc. Prefix the name with "s_" to send to shareware players, with "r_" to send to registered players, and "b_" to send to both. For example, "b_ad0.bmp". Subgame will then randomly pick advertisements to display to players.
