Description
The 'Launch Game With Parameters' or 'Configure Game' dialog window is very useful for users who want to automatically join their game with information such as your login information and RCON passwords automatically entered so you do not have to bother typing them in yourself. Not all games fully support every option on that page.
Accessing
- Right-click on a game server and then on Join Server with Parameters
- On your Friends List, open the Launch menu and then on Game Setup. Choose a game you wish to edit and click Configure to the right.
Using the Dialog
1) Game Detection
- This section is a general run down of what game this is and where it is located on your computer. The location box refers to the folder the program is in and the Search exe box is the file that starts your game.
2) Game Settings
- Extra Args: These are extra arguments that get passed into the games command line when GSC launches the game.
- Login Username: This is the login name for games which require a web login
- Login Password: This is the login password for games which require a web login
- Show in Launch Menu: This will show the game from the Launch menu on the Friends List
- Enable In-Game Overlays: This feature determines whether or not in-game services are enabled for the particular installed game.
3) Server Parameters
- IP Address: This is the IP address for the server you are editing.
- RCON Username: This allows you to specify your remote server admin username to avoid having to set it in the game's console.
- RCON Password: This allows you to specify your remote server admin password to avoid having to set it in the game's console.
- Server Password: If a server is password protected, you can specify the join password here the game will not prompt you for a password when you launch it from GSC
Server Scan
- 4) This shows current information regarding your server from Game Tracker stats. It includes extra information such as a daily activity graph and map image.
- 5) This will show current players or extra variables sent back from the server.
6) Saving
- Save Game Settings: This will save options under number 2).
- Save Server Parameters: This will save options under number 3).
Notes
- If there is a game that currently has extra parameters that GSC does not seem to know (you tested putting your information in the box, but it did nothing), please visit the GSC forums http://forums.getgsc.com/ and tell us the proper args.
- There are slight differences between the EditGameParamsDialog for configuring a game and for setting a server's join parameters. This help page is tailored for setting up the server settings.
