Deus Ex Alpha

I can't get Palm Tree to work prpperly, it just shuts off every time a player try to connects. I think it is because in the Deus Ex ini, the lines are still MTL instead of Palm Tree whatever. Sooooo, I guess I need the lines so I can put them in the Deus Ex ini.

Palm Tree = CTF

I need to know the line for this:
[URL]
Protocol=deusex
ProtocolDescription=Deus Ex Protocol
Name=Player
Map=Index.dx
LocalMap=DX.dx
Host=
Portal=
MapExt=dx
SaveExt=dxs
Port=7790
Class=PalmTree.????????

the "Class" parameter is only for the player-class - you also need to change the DefaultGame and DefaultServerGame in the [Engine.Engine] section.

They will disable DXMTL, because it's imcompatible with PalmTree CTF. As for proper installation of the mod, isn't there some kind of readme?

the readme for 146 says to add a line to the user ini.... which i did but the server still crashes when a player tries to join

I think you cannot start a PT-CTF game from the host screen.

but if you do something like

Code: Select all

DeusEx.exe DesiredMap?game=PalmTree.PTGame -server
