That sucks.

Here's a link to the directions from the PTT archive. You'll need to use Internet Explorer to see it...

Launching a Dedicated Server

PC

If you have purchased the game from GarageGames, then you should have a whole load of extra shortcuts built into the start menu, inside the 'ThinkTanks' section. You should see a 'Launch Dedicated Server' which then expands to show 'Lush', 'Spooky' or 'Frantic'. Each of these will then expand to show the game type you want to play: 'Battle', 'Scrum', 'Team Battle' or 'Team Scrum'. Each of these will expand once more to show you the available maps for your choice so far, including a 'Use Random Mission' option which will cycle through the four available maps for after the other. If you right hand click on one of these five shortcuts (in each section) you can edit the shortcut. If you put -log 1 at the end (with a space before the -log and between it and the 1) then all the output to the console window will be saved to a file called 'console.log' in your ThinkTanks folder.

If you purchased the game from ShockWave, or you dont have these shortcuts, you can instead use one of a whole load of preconfigured batch files which can be found in:
BraveTree\ThinkTanks\Dedicated\

These batch files can be edited in Notepad and -log 1 can be added to the end of the program path (on the second line of the file). Next time this file is run (after you have saved it) all the console window output will be saved to a file called 'console.log' in the main ThinkTanks folder.

For example, this is what file 'TT1_2TS.bat' looks like:

cd ..
ThinkTanks -dedicated -mission game/data/missions/TT1_2.mis -game TS



The first line, 'cd..' is the DOS command to go to the parent folder

The second line is the line that launches ThinkTanks with a whole load of extra parameters

These parameters are:

* -dedicated tells it to run the game as a dedicated server
* -mission 'filename' tells it which mission file to use, where 'filename' is one of the following:
* game/data/missions/TT1_1.mis Medulla Mesa
* game/data/missions/TT1_2.mis Hypothalamus Hills
* game/data/missions/TT1_3.mis Cranium Crater
* game/data/missions/TT1_4.mis Freudian Flats
* GREEN Random mission (cycles through the lush maps)
* game/data/missions/TT2_1.mis Hippocampus Hollow
* game/data/missions/TT2_2.mis Comatose Canyon
* game/data/missions/TT2_3.mis Greymatter Gorge
* game/data/missions/TT2_4.mis Pituitary Plateau
* BLUE Random mission (cycles through the spooky maps)
* game/data/missions/TT3_1.mis Synaptic Slopes
* game/data/missions/TT3_2.mis Ganglia Gully
* game/data/missions/TT3_3.mis Neurotic Nexus
* game/data/missions/TT3_4.mis Receptor Ridge
* RED Random mission (cycles through the frantic maps)
* ALL Random mission (cycles through all maps)


* -game XX defines what type of game it is, where XX is either
* B Battle Mode
* S Scrum Mode
* TB Team Battle Mode
* TS Team Scrum Mode


* -log 1 will log the console window to 'console.log'


 

e.g. The following path
ThinkTanks -dedicated -mission GREEN -game TB -log 1
Would launch a Team Battle game on a random lush map as a dedicated server and would log the console window to 'console.log'
ok i quite get it :?
