There are some notes in the newbie thread pinned near the top of this forum. And a couple threads on dedicated servers on this forum. The commandline docs are the only other thing out there (in the games doc directory)

#2. Any examples of command line config files?
|
Im running on linux so Im not sure how much of mine would work for you. Here is a script I used to let players select and start a game....
nohup dom2 -ST --noclientstart --port 7011 -g RyanzEye --indepstr 7 --magicsites
45 --mapfile eye.map >/dev/null 2>RyanzEye.err &
Possible nohup, and everything after the map name, doesnt apply except for linux. Im not sure.
Once the game started I use this to run as host.
nohup dom2 -ST -q --nonationsel --port 7011 -g RyanzEye --postexec RyanzEye.cmd
>/dev/null &
the RyanzEye.cmd was just an effort to play with a script to run after each hosting. At the moment it just emails me that I can do my turn.

#3. Can my dedicated server have the same cd key as my game machine that I will be playing on. These will be two differnt machines.
|
Yes the cd-key is only checked for players. You can use the same one to host. I asked that and got an answer from the devs.

#4. If I use the demo install as a dedicated server, will it crap out after 40 turns ?
|
I dont know. But hopefully the previous answer makes it unnecessary.
