[cod] Hidden Directory business

[Donald Stephens]

My hidden directories are empty. I think if you setup a home path it
wont use it and then you should be fine with running two game servers
under the same account.

 

This is my startup line...

 

+set fs_basepath /home/cod5-1 +set fs_homepath /home/cod5-1 +set
fs_savepath /home/cod5-1 +exec server.cfg +set dedicated 2 +set net_port
28960 +set ui_maxclients "48" +set sv_maxclients 48 +map_rotate

 

I don't have any issues doing it this way.

Subject: [cod] Hidden Directory business

 

Hey everyone,

   So I have noticed over the years that the games Ryan does the ports
for, always like to stick in a .<gametype> hidden directory into the
users home directory.   I was wondering if there was a way to inform the
server that it should put it some where else.  I am having problems
because I want to
run 2 cod5 servers as the same user ID.  I have tried messing with
fs_homepath and fs_basepath with no avail.  I have tried to cheat the
$HOME bash envroment varible before I called the binary but it didn't
seem to take.

Any Ideas from the server admin community?

Also other games like UT2K4 and COD4 I have noticed have the same issue.
