Need help setting up server - Help

So I should get out of the way that I am using Nitrous Networks for my server. Their customer support doesn't necessarily favor responding in a timely manner, as I understand they're probably busy. But It's been a few days.. I have some (I think) REALLY great ideas for a starwars RP server. But my server won't change from sandbox to starwars RP. [B]Server.cfg[/B] hostname "Starwars RP-Need Commanders-Need Staff" //Steam Server List sv_lan "0" sv_region "255" sv_defaultgamemode "starwarsrp" heartbeat Any other information is available on request, sorry wasn't quite sure what to put :) Thank you!

Where did you get the idea of "sv_defaultgamemode"? It's [b]-gamemode "starwarsrp"[/b] for launch parameter.

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;50160260]Where did you get the idea of "sv_defaultgamemode"? It's [b]-gamemode "starwarsrp"[/b] for launch parameter.[/QUOTE] Oh! Sorry, got it off google. I changed that just now. Still remains sandbox, however.

You must put that into your launch parameters, and sorry, it's +gamemode, not -gamemode. [code]"game/srcds.exe" +maxplayers 20 -console +gamemode starwarsrp ...[/code]

Okay, I believe I have it correct. But it still refuses to change.

[CODE] start "" "srcds.exe" -console -game garrysmod +port [port] +map [map_name] +maxplayers [number] -autoupdate +gamemode [game_mode] -condebug +host_workshop_collection [workshop_collection_id] -authkey [steam_api_key] [/CODE] Create a file called 'start.bat' in the same location as 'srcds.exe', put in the above, fill in the blanks and run. The map name is without .bsp, eg. gm_construct The 'start ""' bit makes sure the first command line window closes after launch, so you don't end up with a blank cmd window left open. Of course, if this is on Linux, you'd replace 'start "" "srcds.exe"' with [CODE] screen -A -m -d -S [screen_name] ./srcds_run [/CODE] [editline]19th April 2016[/editline] Apologies, I din't read that you've got game-server hosting and not dedicated/vps. But hopefully it'll still help with the launch parameters. [editline]19th April 2016[/editline] [B]It seems like they have a UI for managing game-modes, in which case I just want to double check two things.[/B] 1. Have you actually got a starwarsrp game_mode on the server? If it's not there, it won't magically start. Usually Star Wars RP is Dark RP with a changed name - which I think it's dumb as it should still be called Dark RP. "Now you need to go to the command line manager, click new then set your gamemode to darkrp from the dropdown, and set the map in the text box to the right of the +map option, this will be the map your server runs on when it starts up. Remember to tick the boxes to the left of each of the options for +map and +gamemode else your server will not load." That's all I can find on changing a game-mode from their support site.

When I go into history and see my server, it says sandbox. Does that change to starwars rp, or stay sandbox?

You're taking someone elses game-mode and changing the name? I mean wtf. I'm not helping you with a Star Wars > Dark RP change. But as for the server, is the game-mode actually darkrp ( has it actually changed, is it just the name that's staying as sandbox. )

So me and a few of my friends plan on opening up a SWRP (starwars RP) server this summer but how do get a server on to the SWRP list
