# Running A Dedicated Server With UCC

## Syntax

Run with map's default gametype and without mutators:

     UCC Server map

Run with special gametype and some mutators:

     UCC Server map?game=package.gametype?mutator=package.mutator1,package.mutator2

In general:

     UCC Server map?parameter1=value1?parameter2=value2a,value2b?parameter3=value3

## Parameters

game
  Used to specify the gametype. Possible values are a GameInfo (UT) class with its package, e.g. `game=Botpack.TeamGamePlus` or `game=Jailbreak.Jailbreak`. If not specified the map's default gametype is used.
mutator
  Specifies a list of mutators to use. Possible values are Mutator classes with their packages where the Package.Mutator pairs are seperated by commas, e.g. mutator=Botpack.InstaGibDM,Botpack.Stealth

The following parameters aren't part of the map URL and thus have to be separated from the rest of the command line (and each other) by at least one space.

log=logfile
  Writes the server's log into a file with the given name (in the System directory).
ini=inifile
  Uses the given .ini file instead of UnrealTournament.ini.
userini=inifile
  Uses ther given .ini file instead of User.ini. Usualy this parameter is not needed unless you run a server for a total conversion mod.
multihome=ip
  let the game only bind on that ip, only use this when you have multiple external ip addresses
-nohomedir
  Linux only, this will tell the server to use the config files from the installation directory rather than the the homedir of the user running this process.

## Installing BonusPacks for a UT2003 Server

When setting up a UT2003 server (particuarly installing bonus packs) there are some things to remember:

- You should update the manifest.ini file of your server to reflect the new files that have been copied
- YOu should update the UT2003.ini file (or your server ini file) to reflect the changes made to the ini file as described in the manifest.ini file shipped with the bonus pack. These are indicated within the file using the AddIni=... and Ini=... lines within the file. Don't forget to add any [..] groups as well.
- When unzipping the server only bonus pack contents into your server directory you should NOT overwrite any DLL's or EXE files. This will cause VERIFY errors to occur.
