BEC Schedule

[[COI]Naaaath 11]

Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone has a schedule already pre-configured for a 3 hour restart, I don't mind making my own but it will save me a little time because i'm not that familiar with BEC yet. If anyone has one I will be forever greatful!

Ok I've put one together but it doesn't seem to be posting the messages in game?

Also what do I put in my .bat startup so when my server closes it reopens BEC because that seems to be closing once the server turns off.

Well your file is very incorrect, do not use " but ', there is a few mistakes here and there. 

As for the .bat file, you can find plenty of examples on the forum

it didn't work overnight, I've always had problems at night. I also added another job to #shutdown at 25999, is that correct?

 

Edit: I've gone with Windows Task Scheduler, every 3 hours it will kill the server and then restart the server.

I understand it but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working, I might need to restart my box so the hosts file updates and BEC ignores the updates.

 

BEC connects and logs in but it doesn't send any messages

I've tried a combination of using "0" and '0' , still nothing.

 

I've fixed the .bat issue and I used Windows Task Scheduler and it seems to be working fine, every 3 hours it will kill the process and then restart it, thanks for the help mate
