Solved Server description not being set (invalid characters in cfg)

It can go in the server.cfg, it just can't be in the .bat if you want to use the .cfg. The headerimage and url do not need to be set for the description to work (what this thread is about.)

The load order is:

1. .bat or .sh / command-line
2. server.cfg
3. serverauto.cfg (unchecked)

@rrrank, make sure that "experimental" is actually your server.identity, otherwise you are creating the file in the wrong location.

 

I use the server.cfg for all of my settings, they work all fine there except for the "rcon." prefixed ones; you just can't set them in the .bat if you want the server.cfg entries for them to work. The OP asked about getting the description working, not for Resistance's way of doing things. The server.cfg is there for this exact purpose, as everyone may not have access to their server's command-line setup or may not want to put everything into their startup script.

@rrrank, I did just notice that you have : for each setting, those need to be removed for them to work.

Valid:
server.description "Welcome to Muir Survivalist & Co."

Invalid:
server.description: "Welcome to Muir Survivalist & Co."

This would be the same for all other settings as well. Anything with spaces also needs to have quotation marks around the value.

 

Regardless, personal preference vs. solving the issue. The server.cfg does indeed work, so unsure what "bugged" about it for you unless it was formatted improperly or what I mentioned previously was done.
