So at present, I use (Win Server 2003) run.py and it takes it's info from b3.xml and loads config accordingly.

It would therefore be possible to create extra .xml docs containing info from my other servers for example b3_2.xml, b3_3.xml etc etc and open up another cmd window for each instance (he says!). But how could I replicate/change run.py so that it recognises each .xml and load from there?

Cheers!

Hi,

you can specify a different config file. See Phase 3: Running B3 from the documentation

Hey! Thanks, something occurred

Everything is identical, I only had to change the port as the server is on the same IP.

[Courgette]

there should be more to modify than just the server port.

what about the rcon password ?
what about the game server log file ?
what about the b3 bot  log file ?

[-Aura-]

OK, so I had to change log file name to b3_2.log but yes, only the port is different as servers reside on same box with same rcon password

Now, on the face of things, bot is running on both servers, however, I can now only enter commands on second server ... I jumped onto first server and indeed, console messages are coming through but as I said, I cannot enter commands.

I note that there is only one instance of games_mp.log ... there must be somewhere I have to tell the bot to create a new log with different name? I cannot see where, doesn't appear to be the facility in the new b3_2.xml file :\

[Courgette]

as you have 2 game servers, you must have 2 different game server log files. You cannot have two B3 config using the same server log file, this would just make troubles

[-Aura-]

This is correct, I already said this earlier

Now how would one tell B3 to create a games_mp.log file of a different name? Thx.

[Courgette]

well B3 does not create games_mp.log, your game server does. B3 just reads it

Never mind, I'm asking elsewhere. Asked the same question and it was answered simultaneously and courteously by 3 different devs.
