I have written a script to interface with a dos command window that I call the Halo server window. This server window allows you to enter dos commands to change or display values in a Halo dedicated server game play. The default commands to start the server window are stored in the init.txt file located in the Halo Server directory.
This is the contents of the init.txt file. The sv_commands on the left are the actual commands the server window uses to change the values to the right of the sv_command. For instance the
sv_name(Server Name) command in the first line has a value of
Halo_DS.
Code:
sv_name Halo_DS
sv_public 1
sv_maxplayers 12
sv_password halo
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "Done Slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team king"
sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon ctf
sv_mapcycle_add carousel slayer
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia slayer
sv_mapcycle_add infinity "classic rockets"
sv_mapcycle_begin
sv_rcon_password test
These sv_commands are entered by typing the text in the dos command prompt in the server window. By clicking on the buttons from my Gui window in my script the sv_command is entered in for me. All that is left then is to enter the actual value you wish to change and pressing enter to finish the command. After I click on one of my buttons to enter the sv_command and enter the command value the server window tells me it has accepted the value correctly.
Example: I click on the
Server Name button from my Gui window to change the name of my server and it displays the change correctly.
My problem is this. The sv_command values I enter are not save in the init.txt file. So the next time I want to run the server it displays the old value of the server name -
sv_name Halo_DS as shown above in the init.txt file.
This is my script to interface with the server window.

#InstallKeybdHook
#InstallMouseHook
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

I have tried FileAppend, InStr, and others but can't seem to get it working correctly so I changed my script back to the way it was. I need the
values only to be changed for the sv_command in the init.txt file. The only sv_command used more than once is the sv_mapcycle_add command to add new maps. Not all of the buttons need to change a variable. Some sv_commands only display values like the
Current Maps button which does not need a variable. I have placed a variable for each button that needs one. Also if a sv_command is not stored in the init.txt file, it will need to be added when used.
I have dealt with this for a while now but cannot get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
