Whenever I make a dedicated server, how do I change the server's name? It's really confusing.

You need to set the server name in config.cfg, or in adedserv.cfg if you only want it to apply in dedicated mode:

Code:

servername "Supersonic45's Server"

EDIT

Correction: Use dconfig.cfg in dedicated mode, not config.cfg.

And config.cfg is... I'm really not sure.

A file, I think it comes with srb2.

It's the file where SRB2 keeps all its settings, and it lives in the same directory as srb2win.exe. It's a text file, so edit it with a text editor like Notepad.

And so I add config.cfg in the WAD File section, then use -dedicated command line?

No, config.cfg is not a wad. It's a file that's loaded automatically at startup, always. Just change the line as I mentioned earlier, and the server name will be set automatically.

What kind of things can you get control.cfg to do?

It's everythng the console can do, and if you change it, it will be set to that.

Code:

Control "FOWARD" "Up" "w"

It means that to move up, you can press W or UP arrow keys to go up.

Uh, my question is still not asked. Whenever I use config.cfg, the servername is SRB2 Server, and I can't stop it.

Sounds like me. I told it to name me Thunder yet I always appear in the netgame as player #.

I've just tested it out, and it seems I misinformed you: apparently, the game uses dconfig.cfg instead of config.cfg in dedicated mode. Add the servername line to that file instead. Sorry 'bout that.

I just searched for dconfig.cfg. the file was not found. And yes, I serched every folder in my SRB2 folder.
