Is it possible to have my dx server automatically start on my computer bootup? I'm at school for half the day, and my computer gets turned on alot when im not at home. So if its possible could you post how to do it?

yeah just make the server starter script run at startup

You need to create a batch file to start it and then drag and drop it into Start Menu > Programs > Startup.

To create a batch file, follow the first 3 steps of the tutorial.

Paste the following into it and save it:

Code: Select all: deusex.exe DXMP_Smuggler?Game=DXMTL152b1.MTLTeam?-server?log=server.log

You can as well change the map ("DXMP_Smuggler" part) and gametype ("DXMTL152b1.MTLTeam" part) in the code above. The code for deathmatch is "DXMTL152b1.MTLDeathmatch" (I believe).

Place the batch file in your DeusEx\System directory. From there you can drag and drop it to Startup as I said above.

Thanks Dude, except how can I make that box not pop up, or automatically close?

Yeah brah, try this;

Code: Select all: start deusex.exe DXMP_Smuggler?Game=DXMTL152b1.MTLTeam?-server?log=server.log

How is it supposed to help? Adding "start" closes the batch window after command completion?

True, the command (DeusEx.exe) doesn't "complete" until you close it.

So, you either have to make a shortcut(s) that'll run the server(s) at startup, and then drag 'em to the Startup folder in your Start menu.

Wow, I just said Start three times in once sentence.

Oh, I see.

Carry on.

Code: Select all: deusex.exe DXMP_Smuggler?Game=DXMTL152b1.MTLTeam?-server?log=server.log exit

Adding exit to the end does not work, same with terminate and others...
Also if any of you are telling me to try a .cmd, I already did.

What does it say about the "Exit" command?

Posted: **Wed May 19, 10 6:20 pm**

Okay, make a Windows shortcut (right click desktop, new, Shortcut)

and type in the following:

Code: Select all: C:\DeusEx\System\DeusEx.exe *game map*?game=*game type class* -server ini=*server ini* USERINI=*server user ini* log=*server log file*

Fill in the *this*'d bits, then run the shortcut. It should start up your server.

If it starts correctly, move the shortcut to:

Start.
All Programs.
Startup.

(not sure what this is on Vista / Win7 - have to check later.)

Restart your computer, and the server should start at startup.

You need to mention that

C:\DeusEx\System\DeusEx.exe

Needs to be replaced with the actual path.
Just noobs install DeusEx to C:\ :lol:

so am i a noob

Well, in order NOT to break the axiom, you need to move DeusEx to somewhere else now.

It's better at C:\

Posted: **Thu May 20, 10 1:29 pm**

mine's at L:\

Posted: **Thu May 20, 10 1:46 pm**

L:\ is cool

I got it on E:\ like dEusEx

Right, serious question dickz.

My serverstarter batch file:

Code: Select all: @echo off :start_server echo Starting Shinobi Server DEUSEX.EXE DXMP_CTF_Zan-Goh?Game=miniMTL222.miniMTLCTF?Mutator=mPack1.DXWeaponSelector?-server?log=server.log GOTO start_server

How would I go about making this startup on computer boot (all users, please, not just my account)?
I also need it hidden. As in NO windows popping up. It is possible??
