When I run Server.exe, I get the error:
"could not read config file 'config\maprot.cfg'
ERROR: AssaultCube fatal error: maprot unavailable"
This file exists and seems to be is perfect order.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

I didn't have this error on a 32-bit VPS, but I did on my 64-bit VPS (both running Ubuntu 12.04). Are you also running 64-bit?

Sorry, I should have specified. Thank you for posting, anyway. PhaNtom is right, I'm using Windows XP Pro SP3.

cacls "C:\Program Files\AssaultCube_v1.2.0.2\config" /T /E %USERNAME%:F
Paste this into elevated command prompt (Start > 'cmd' in search bar > wait for Command Prompt to appear above, then right-click it and Run as Administrator). You may need to edit that file path to point to the correct "config" directory where maprot.cfg is stored. After you run that command make sure it says it processed maprot.cfg, then see if the server works.
Also, check the CUBE_DIR in the .bat file that you use to launch the server and make sure it points correctly to the location where these config files are being stored.

Thanks, Jack, but the first part has me a little confused. I have no problem with using CMD, but I don't quite understand what you want.
As far as the second part goes, I have not batch file to run. As I understand it, the new version does not use a batch file to start the server. I used the config/servercmdline.txt to setup the server, and run server.exe using Windows Explorer.
Is there a better way?
Thanks!

Not sure as I don't run servers under Windows. Are you certain there's no server.bat anywhere? It's what tells the server binary where to find the config files, and the Linux servers still use similar shell scripts to launch.
I just noticed you said you're on XP, so ignore all that about how to open the command prompt; just open it and paste that cacls command in.

Ok, the old AC version did use a batch file. This new version doesn't include one, nor the batchfile which should help you create your own.
I only have two batch files. The first, assaultcube.bat, is used to start the game. The second, win32_cuberef2cubescript.bat, is of unknown function to me. It contains the following code:
rem Automatically allows MS Windows to transform ../reference.xml into ../../config/docs.cfg
rem This requires MSXSL, available at: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...x?id=21714
msxsl.exe -o ..\..\config\docs.cfg -v ..\reference.xml cuberef2cubescript.xslt
I don't completely understand the function, as it uses commands unknown to me. Do you know anything about it?
Thanks again for your help!

1.2.0.2 should be using server.bat. Mine is. If yours is missing, just copy it from 1.1; it's the same file.
edit: I updated your poll

Yes, you should be running server.bat.
https://sourceforge.net/p/actiongame/cod...server.bat
See? It exists.
Its a current working directory sort of issue. If you don't want to use server.bat, execute the .exe from the folder the server.bat lives in (one folder up from the .exe).

Okay, thank you, jamZ and Ronald_Reagan.
Although, I'm not crazy about jamZ, shall I say, tampering, with the poll. I'm sure there are not 9005 votes on your option, just one. The three on the no are real, as well.
