Re: multiple servers same game help
Doing that is pretty simple. You would need to make another copy of the server. I believe for this game, the folder you would need to make a copy of is called "sourcebase", but in short, the folder you need to copy over will be the one with the server's .exe file in it.. You can name it something else and put it next to the original one.
If you are using a shortcut to launch your original server, you can make a second one to point to the new folder. It is generally a good idea to rename the server's .exe file to a different name. This helps with being able to tell which server is which in a list of processes, such as the task manager.
