Greetings All. I just had a quick question and I apologize if it was already answered.

I was wondering if it was possible to add the bIsLanMatch=true command to the ServerConfigList.ini file so that I can run multiple TOXIKK LAN servers from the TOXIKKServerLauncher batch file? Given the way the file itself is formatted in a table for other values, I wasn't sure it it would work if I added that. Or, perhaps it can be added to another config file as a default server value?

I have been using and tweaking the original Launch Toxikk Simple Lan DedicatedServer batch file, which is great for one LAN server, but I would like to cleanly run several instances of them on LAN if possible using the TOXIKKServerLauncher.

Any help with would be awesome. Thanks in advance all

Good question. I have never tried it myself. I would just give it a shot and see what happens.

I just tried this by adding the bIsLanMatch=true to the Script\StartServer.bat file...the very last section that launches the server...and it appears to work fine. I started multiple dedicated servers that typically run online and with the bIsLanMatch=true added into the file the servers all launched local.

Next I also modified the StartServer.bat file to include a LAN setting (%Lan% = true or false) and inserted the option in place of the bIsLanMatch=%Lan%. This also seemed to work.

Next I need to see what happens when you actually try to join and play on them...may run into issues there...maybe not.

OK...Well, all of that didn't go so well. Finally got it to work though.

My existing online server setup works great and I didn't want to risk screwing it up by trying to make them work for both LAN and WAN at the moment...I figured I could merge them later. So I simply copied all of the server .bat and .ini files into the same folder and renamed them by adding a "LAN" prefix. Now I could tinker with these files and not have to worry about any negative fallout.

I used the Simple Lan DedicatedServer.bat as the basic template for how the new LANStartServer.bat would launch each server. So in the LANStartServer.bat file I removed the ?steamsockets option and Steam query port (27015 series of ports) section from the .bat files but kept the game port (7777 series) section and added the -ConfigSubdir option to allow separate config file folders. I maintained the port forwarding I had been using for my online servers so they could be used for the LAN servers. I went through the .bat files and made sure everything referenced the appropriate "LAN" versions of the .bat files I had copied and then fired up all 10 of the configured servers just to see what would happen.

They seemed to come up fine, so then I hopped on my gaming machine and joined each one of the LAN servers to make sure they worked. They worked without any problems.

Here is a dropbox link to the files so you can see what I did...nothing complicated at all.
