Talon Server Manager

I'll edit this post later when I have more time.


I just made some changes to TSM Beta.


Talon Server Manager Beta 0.14  (1-3-2014)

* Added some tooltips
* Misc optimizations


Uninstall previous versions.

Note: If you plan on playing on the same computer as a TSM server, first, make a copy of your Talon folder.
Then point TSM at that copies talon.exe. This will allow you to use your normal online profile.



Talon Server Manager Beta 0.13

* Now restores your profile if you close out TSM before shutting down a server(s)


Talon Server Manager Beta 0.12

* Minor changes to prefs template
* fixed Max Bots setting not taking
* Added AI Skill level trackbar (hopefully fixed the settings too)
* Enabled ability to switch between Internet and LAN modes
* Enabled Host multi-player option.

Re: Talon Server Manager

When I use the newest server manager, it overwrites my profile, resets all my statistics and controller mappings and renames my profile Talon Server.

Re: Talon Server Manager

That can happen if you shut the server down manually and not with TSM.

When you start a server with TSM, it will make a backup of profile.cs. and name it profile.cs.tsm. It doesn't actually touch your prefs file at all.

Go into the Talon folder and delete profile.cs and profile.cs.dso.
Then rename profile.cs.tsm to profile.cs and your good.

I'll take another look at the code though to see if I can prevent it.

Ahhh, I see what your saying. TSM is meant to run Dedi's. You cannot (atm) run a server with it on your computer, and then try and start Talon on the same computer. It will default you to the "Talon Server" profile.


There is a work around for that scenario though.

Make a copy of your Talon folder. Then point TSM at that copies talon.exe.

Cool idea, I wonder how my computer would handle running a server and a game at the same time...

Re: Talon Server Manager

I just did it. Don't know your comp specs (mine are in my sig), but I had no problem.

Re: Talon Server Manager

@Hydra:
The new version is better and works great, ...but if I made no mistake, the AI-skill changes only between Skill "0", "10" and "Auto". The only I can change ist the "Ai Skill". It makes only difference if I set it to "1 = on = AI-SKill 10" or "another date = 0.0 to 9.99 = AI-Skill 0".

But the tool is cool, and if anytime I shall check what all the diff capabilities are for, it would be still even better ;-)

Re: Talon Server Manager

If it's fixed, it seems that I do something wrong, but don't know where or how.

-> AI Skill Auto = "off" and below settings between 0 to 1. But I can do what I want, in the Gamelist I see only "0" or "10" :-(
