Options
Descriptions for each variable in the ServerScan Options window.
| Variable | Description |
| Save Console Log | Any command that is sent to the server or data that is received from the server will be logged in a file called rconconsole.log when this option is selected. You can change the name of the logfile in the text field provided. |
| Save Password On Exit | Allows you to save your password on exit. Saves entering it again when loading ServerScan. This option can be disabled by an RKF. |
| Execute Local Config On Gametype Changes | If enabled, when the user alters the gametype through the menu system a local editable config file will be executed instead of the default in-built settings. These config's can be found within the ServerScan install directory under the Server Config's directory. This option can be disabled by an RKF. |
| Execute Remote Server Config On Gametype Changes | Similar to the above variable except instead of executing a local config file a config file on the server will be run using the exec command. This is more secure as server bound configs can not be altered easily by other Clan Members and there is no need to distribute the server configs every time you make a change as they are stored centrally. This is the recommended way of using ServerScan. The configs must be named correctly! See the Server Configs directory under the ServerScan installation path for an example of the naming convention used. This option can be disabled by an RKF. |
| Rotate Server Log Daily | When ServerScan see's a day change a command will be sent to rotate to the servers log file. If PunkBuster is in use this log file will also be rotated at the same time. This feature prevents large unusable log files from being created if your server is very busy. This feature will only work if polling is enabled. If you have an RKF loaded the RKF must have the option Server Enabled selected also. |
| Alert Me When Players Name Is Requesting An Admin | If a player on your server changes their name to anything containing the word "admin" on a status refresh a siren will be sounded. For example should a player have the name AdminNeeded you will be alerted. You can then react accordingly. |
| Increase Player List Size | If you run a large capacity server you may want to select this as it increases the player list size making it easy to manage them. |
| Poll At Start-up | On starting ServerScan it will begin polling your server straight away. |
| From Name | This is the name that appears at the end of all player messages sent to the server. You cannot turn this feature off! |
| Announce Admin Online | If you tick this box every so often ServerScan will announce that you are online to the players on the server. If you also have "Alert Me When Players Name Is Requesting An Admin" ticked, along with announcing that you are online and scanning the server it will also tell the players that to get your attention they should change their name to AdminNeeded. |
| Load at Windows Start-Up | Does what it says on the tin. If you tick this option when loading Windows ServerScan will automatically start. |
| Automatically Load Selected RKF | If you have ServerScan loading at Windows start-up you can also get it to load an RKF automatically for you. Saves a little time. |
