I don't remember all of the details... but there are two types of mutators: ones which come with an .int file (e.g. mPack1, MapVote) and ones without it (e.g. Alpha's MM mutators).

You would normally activate mutators of the first type using the in-game interface, but for the lack of it, you may just list them in DXMTL.ini like this:

[DXMTL152b1.MTLMenuScreenHostGame]
CurrentGameType=DXMTL152b1.MTLTeam
ServerMode=0
MutatorList=DXMapVote100.MVMutator,mPack1.DXWeaponSelector
bKeepMutators=True


The mutators of the second type are activated by adding to ServerActors= and sometimes ServerPackages= in DeusEx.ini (you need to read a readme.txt if any).

Alternatively, you may activate mutators by listing them in the "Mutators" parameter in the shortcut which starts your server:

Code: Select all
DeusEx.exe DXMP_Area51Bunker?Mutators=mPack1.DXWeaponSelector -server


OR using the same parameter while changing the map (I think that resets after server restart):

Code: Select all
servertravel DXMP_Smuggler?Mutators=mPack1.DXWeaponSelector

We can't help you without knowing what did you do and what exactly is not working.

I doubt it, there are several servers hosted by them on the server list right now, and they have been used by several. My brother hosted 4 servers from them, and I don't recall him having such problems. Are you sure you've got the relevant mods installed?

That counterstrike host (if youR'e referring to it) got no option to change the command line.
The control panel looks like from gamingdeluxe but with less settings. :roll:

They're basically doing two things wrong.

1. They don't know shit about it, as you said.
2. They don't give up control over it and let the use configure his stuff.

For me, this worked

Code: Select all
DeusEx.exe DXMP_Area51Bunker?Mutator=mPack1.DXWeaponSelector -server


rather than

DeusEx.exe DXMP_Area51Bunker?Mutators=mPack1.DXWeaponSelector -server


I was using DXMTL if that makes a difference.
