Multiple orangebox servers?

[jinxyxo20]

Before we get started i read http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =67&t=4107
And it says If you'd like to run several servers, simply copy the "sourcebase" folder to another folder in the same directory, and follow steps #4-6 again, adjusting them to reference it instead. Choose a different port from the dialog so that the servers don't interfere with each other. My question is do i have to copy the soursebase folder everytime i wanna run a new server? because it takes a long time to copy it

Also to make sure i understand this correctly says repeat steps 4-6 lets say i copy the sourcebase folder into a foulder i named sourcebase2 in the same directory so when i repeat steps 4-6 it normally looks like this

cmd.exe /c start /high /d"c:\game installs\sourcebase\orangebox" "Game server" "c:\game installs\sourcebase\orangebox\srcds.exe" -game cstrike -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Now now i should change it to this


cmd.exe /c start /high /d"c:\game installs\sourcebase2\orangebox" "Game server" "c:\game installs\sourcebase2\orangebox\srcds.exe" -game cstrike -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Is this Correct?

You could also run all your servers from the same folder, but this is trickier, and best for vanilla servers (without plugins). In doing that, you'd also want to specify command-line options to allow you to provide different configuration files for each server:

+servercfgfile xxxx.cfg
+mapcyclefile xxx.txt
+motdfile xxx.txt

Yes, that's correct. You can also specify "-port xxxxx -console" on that line, if you are using the console directly instead of the Valve GUI.
