Server Questions

[Rightfulnoah]

I just have a couple quick questions about hosting a server.

I have the server up and functioning and all that, but I want to make the default map MetaStation and make the default gamemode Secret. I've figured out how to make the gamemode Secret with commands but it's nice to automate it, but it doesn't really matter. I am curious how to change the map, since I dislike BoxStation. Any ideas?

I think it's in one of the configs.

I'll assume you know your way around Dream Maker. Open up tgstation.dme and look for the folder labelled "_maps" - it's just below tgstation.dme on the file browser:

From there, you'll see the following information. In layman's terms, when a map file is checked, that's the map that the game attempts to load. By default, it's Box, which is tgstatation2.dm. The folders below those you don't need to worry about unless you want to look at a station's layout directly or are a mapper.

Spoiler:

To load any map, just uncheck tgstation2.dm and check whatever other map you want. I haven't tried it, but you'll probably get an error if you try more than one. If you want Meta, than just uncheck tgstation2.dm and check metastation.dm, like so:

Spoiler:

Hit Ctrl-K or go to Build -> Compile to recompile - otherwise the map will be the same next time you reboot the server. You can see below that your map has successfully been changed.
