What is a dedicated server and how does it compare to a player hosted session?

[Jack 0]

Hello everyone

I've been a Tactical-Ops fan for a long time

but since my 1st language is not English I didn't manage to do any thing more than doing small lan parties with my friends

I really feel embarrassed to ask these questions but I got to find some one to make me understand the concepts ..  

 

1. I always play with my friends by hosting a new multiplayer game through Menu ( inside the game ) how does this differ from dedicated server ?

and what is the ini file that contains configurations and rules of my server ? TacticalOps.ini ? or server.ini which doesn't exist in my System folder ?

2. What exactly is TOST ? Do I need this to play in LAN ?

3. How can I add CTF and TOMA to my game ?

4. I tried downloading tost and server files from a website but applying them to my directory ruined my game it started giving an error message, why ?

I have the 3.4 version of the game .. I snapped it and uploaded it.

Thanks for your patience

Hello,

Don't feel embarrased -- there's been a first time for everyone

1. A dedicated server is an independent and stand-alone server application to host game sessions. It operates completely autonomously, and thus removes the need to rely on a player to host the session, instead, everything is handled by the server.
   
   When the hosting player leaves the game in a player hosted session, everybody loses connection and the session ends. With a dedicated server, the session is no longer dependant on a single player, since the session is handled by a stand-alone entity.
   
   I've made a simple diagram to illustrate the concept:
    
   Spoiler

   

   The ini file that will be used for the actual server configuration is defined by the command line arguments, I believe it's server.ini by default

2. TOST, Tactical Ops Server Tools, is simply - as the name implies - a set of tools to manage/configure a Tactical Ops server. It is often erroneously referred to as an 'anti-cheat' tool, which it is not. At least not in itself, TOST does however come with a package named 'TOSTProtect' which provides basic (cheat) protection. You don't need it for a LAN game.
3. Download the mutators and simply add them to your system directory.
4. What you have downloaded is, as described in point 1, an independent server. It is a stand-alone server application, and therefore comes with all needed files included in the package (it doesn't need a TO instance to operate), the server files go in their own folder away from your TO installation.

Addendum:

I've altered the topic title to be more descriptive. I'd kindly like to ask you to do the same thing in the future, helps others with the same question to find answers more efficiently

Thank you for the clear explanation !

I launched a server ( from a different folder as you said ) and I launched the game from the installation folder and easily joined the session ..

Now just a few points

1. Is there a place where I can download a ( Monster attack ) server ?

2. The server I've downloaded comes with German language, can I change things to English ?

3. Can I change the starting money from 1000 to 3000 or so ?

4. Is there a possible way to clone the server.ini settings to Tacticalops.ini ? Like I want the mutators and sound packs and other mods to be available for a non dedicated server that launches from inside the game menus ?

Thx again

 

[Thomas 312]

1. Certainly: TOMonsterFactory, PSY-MonsterAttack (these are two different monster mutators, use the one you like best)
2. The server itself doesn't really have the ability to change languages, you have probably set your TO installation to the German language in TacticalOps.ini
3. Yes, the TOMonsterFactory mutator comes with a moneytool -- there's also a separate moneytool mutator available
4. You can, yes. However I wouldn't really recommend to do that, installing mutators is a fairly simple process, and most come with installation instructions

Cheers

Most dedicated servers include nice stuff that doesn't exist in the classic non-dedicated configurations located in Tacticalops.ini file

example : damage statistics after each round and after death, advertising messages, etc. It feels like server.ini has more configurable options .

Plus, most mutators and mods come with installation instructions such as adding some lines or sections inside the server.ini, but I can't find those sections in the Tacticalops.ini file

Example : I tried applying the heart beat mutator but the instructions included this :

- Goto Section [TOST43.TOSTServerActor]

- Search for the first free "Mutators[x]=" entry (x in range from 0...9)

- Add this line to your Mutator-List
  
Mutators[x]=TOHeartbeat.TOHeartbeat

There was a problem : there is no [TOST43.TOSTServerActor] section in Tacticalops.ini !

Now the main thing is: I want to import things from the dedicated server configurations to add to my installation folder configurations in Tacticalops.ini, is it possible ? If yes, who could help me doing it ?

is it confusing so far ?

Complicated ?

That's because there is no TOST on a non-dedicated server.

Out of interest, why not just go with a dedicated server instead of going the hard route with player hosted games? You can make it private and only invite your friends to join it.

Because it's easier to change time and level and many other settings, you don't have to go edit an ini file every time you want to start with different round time or map! moreover we usually fight between 2 rounds about who is going to host the next round with the  settings he loves ( time, map, ballistics, mutators, etc ) so we don't want an automated system to host our game

You can change game settings on-the-fly through both a command- and a graphical user interface.

" You can change game settings on-the-fly through both a command- and a graphical user interface. "

 

And how do you do that ? For a dedicated server ? 

There was only a server.bat file to run ..

One thing, if I upload my TacticalOps.ini and also upload 5 or 6 mutators which I've recently downloaded from the internet, can somebody edit the ini file and tell how to apply them to my player-hosted game ? Because most mutators require editing server.ini I think I need the client side file I donno

They require TOST. TOST is not available for player hosted sessions.

Answers started getting short lol  a sign of bore maybe.

But thanks you really helped a lot, the last line was very important to me.

Last question and I'm over

Where can I find someone or some group who build severs - for money - ?

Haha  Nah, I simply like to keep it clear and informative and reduce clutter as much as possible, I mean I could talk about the weather but I don't think it's going to be of any help

Well, there are game hosting companies providing pay-per-slot servers, but setting up a server yourself really isn't that difficult, especially if it's only meant for private sessions with friends. We're always glad to help out setting it up if you run into trouble

Ok this is my fresh TacticalOps.ini for the 3.4 TO-AUT version :

Tadaaa !

I really insist to use player hosted sessions so .. my request will be explained in the coming post ...

Number 1 : I want to clone this ( Statistics system ) from that server.ini or from anywhere else to my TacticalOps.ini ( player hosted game configurations ).

How do I do it ?

Help !!

This is an example of the inapplicable mutators I download from the internet and have no chance in applying them to my TacticalOps.ini  for player hosted games.

What 's the solution ??

I feel it's close ... I tried inventing many things lol  but it didn't work ... so HELLLP !!

I've tried to tell you that...

They require TOST. TOST is not available for player hosted sessions.

There must be an alter method to add such mutators to games that have no TOST.

It's just about how to edit the server file, and this also depends on what structure does the server file has.

If it's server.ini with TOST then it just has a different way to install.

[Thomas 312]

It's not about in what file it should be installed, it's about dependencies. These mutators are written using the TOST SDK, and therefore require TOST for their operation/replication.

In this particular example, Announcer2k depends on TOSTFun, guess where the 'TOST' in 'TOSTFun' stands for. In fact, Announcer2k is merely a sound modification, it relies solely on the default TOSTAnnouncer.

[joeycracknl 50]

I believe there are some mutators that work without TOST since there were mutators in UT99 before TacticalOpsServerTools were released.

Some mutators usable or advertised on sites for TO are simply UT mutators.

In my file database @ tacticalops.tk there is a mapvote mutator that works without tost and even has 5 second announcer countdown before vote.

(Had it running when trying to setup a server before I realized there are more then enough servers anyway)

Could check out mutator section over, most of times a download contains a .txt that will tell if you need to edit Tost Config lines or not.

Hello Joey, thanks for your share

let's take Weapon Restricter v1.3 for instance , if I want to use it to build an ( MSG9 & DesertEagle ) only server, like I want all the other weapons disabled in my server, what do I do ? should I keep using the admin commands every time I host a  multiplayer game ?

[joeycracknl 50]

What is the reason you want to host ingame, rather then run a dedicated server, then join that server with game client?

There is no benefit in doing so, yet dedicated server have lots of benefits compared to client hosted.

I am not completely sure about how to use mutators in a non dedicated server when hosting.

If you get tired of typing same console commands every time simply bind those commands with SuperTeam Keybinder.
(With the Numpad buttons you could enter allot of commands on few buttons)
