Default Server Description

e:\UT3_server\Binaries\ut3demo server DM-ShangriLa?MaxPlayers=8?MinNetPlayers=8?bShouldAdve rtise=True?bIsLanMatch=False?bUsesStats=True?bAllo wJoinInProgress=False?bAllowInvites=False?bUsesPre sence=False?bAllowJoinViaPresence=False?bUsesArbit ration=False?bIsDedicated=True?GameMode=4?PureServ er=1?LockedServer=0?Campaign=0?ForceRespawn=1?bots kill=3?GoalScore=0?TimeLimit=20?ServerDescription= 11600010100011500011600003200011500010100011400011 8000101000114000?NumPlay=0?game=UTGame.UTTeamGame? AdminName=yyyy?AdminPassword=xxxxi?GamePassword=zz zz -log=Dedicatedserverlog.log -login=fakelogin -password=fakepass -port=7977 -unattended

Can anyone spot errors in this cmd line which would cause the server name not to being displayed - and instead just show the default "Unreal Tournament 3 Server" instead?

I've been working on fixing this since the day of the demo release.

Tried using the old format with ?serverdescription="name here"
Tried with ?serverdescription=[Name_Here]
Tried with ?serverdescription=NameHere
Tried with about 20 different binary codes/names as shown above in the cmd line that I posted.
Tried with about 15 different, unique gamespy account that I created (using both valid and placebo email addresses (seems to make no difference anyway)).

I'm trying to get this to work on a Windows 2003 (using the win2k3 exe) server with full administrator rights.
I have also hosted with the very same cmd line here from my own XP 32-bit machine with the same results.

I've had several server admins give me their exact cmd lines, which I then tried to launch my own server with; again with the same result: "Unreal Tournament 3 Demo Server".

I've tried having other people creating a gamespy (from within the UT3 demo) account for me, which I used in my cmd line. Again: no difference in server name.

I don't know what to do from this point on - other than waiting for Epic to release the next demo/patch.

I'm trying this forum as my last hope, thinking you guys here are probably the best at this kind of stuff.

Any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh, I should add that the servers I run have all been running virtually flawlessly otherwise.
People have no problem connection etc.

Believe it or not there is a link to convert your "Description" to a series of 0's and 1's ..... I have used it and it works. Here is the link http://www.penetrate.nl/UT3ServerDesc.php Keep in mind that what ever your game login is will be there first and according to epic Always. So pick a username that helps describe your server. Hope it helps for you.

Thanks, Ga8or.
But I already tried that about 30 times with different names, including one, single letter, just to test.

No luck.

Here is the code I execute to launch dirrtyclan's beta demo ut3 server (obviously replace the login and passwords):

Code:
"C:\Unreal Tournament 3 Demo\Binaries\UT3Demo.exe" Server VCTF-Suspense?GameMode=3?MaxPlayers=8?MinNetPlayers=0?NumPublicConnections=8?NumPrivateConnections=0?NumOpenPublicConnections=8?NumOpenPrivateConnections=0?numplay=6?BotSkill=5?GoalScore=3?bUsesStats=True?TimeLimit=30?PureServer=1?bIsDedicated=True?bUsesStats=True?AdminPassword=xxxxxx?ServerDescription=068000105000114000114000116000121000039000115000032000079000102000102000105000099000105000097000108000032000066000101000116000097000032000068000101000109000111000032000083000101000114000118000101000114000?PingInMs=200 -log=ServerLog.log -Login=xxxxxx -Password=xxxxxx
We also have our own server description generator link posted here: http://forum.dirrtyclan.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=140

Make sure when copying and pasting the startup script that it doesn't contain any return characters (should be one straight line in a text file wordwrap off).

Thanks for the effort there, starbuck.

Server still showing the default name, even when using your cmd line.

I don't know if this will have any effect but I noticed a some differences in your startup command compared to ones I have working.

When I created the dedicated server command line from within the client, it always added these parameters:

?name="login profile"?alias="login profile"

Each of the servers I have running append serverdescription to this profile.

If my server name was "vCTF-Server" and my login account was MyServer1, the ingame server browser would show... MyServer1:vCTF-Server

I know, shot in the dark. But, who knows - this might work.
