Options parameter of server_params doesn't work in the XML files

[rocco27]

It is a very-very old issue. I already reported to DieFeM before and he said he will check it, but he is inactive...

In the xml files we have cli_params, reserve_ports, replace_texts, server_params and custom_fields where we can use options="" for first two and for the rest to allow or disallow to use space and queries or nothing beetwen the server parameters and values.

The options work everywhere instead of server_params. Did it ever worked? Is it a bug or?
Here is an for example:

  <server_params>
   <param key="?ModID=" type="text" id="MODID">
      <default></default>
      <caption></caption>
      <options></options>
      <desc>Set Mods.</desc>
    </param>
  </server_params>

Then I have this in the server startup command line:
TheCenter?listen?Multihome=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX?Port=XXXX?QueryPort=XXXX?MaxPlayers=XXX?ServerAdminPassword=XXXXXXXX ?ModID= "1234567" -server -log

So when I use nothing I have space and quotes for MoDID parameter. It doesn't matter what I set, it is always forced to use a space and quotes!

The various possibilities are:

        ns = placed as is
        ANYTHING ELSE = space and quotes

Does that help?

[rocco27]

I used blank options element in my example and got space and quotas.
I knew all various possibilities except sc and sqc (reason never seen those in xml before). Thanks.

I will probably add a new option "n" to do what you want. I'll work on it within the next few days.

[rocco27]

I tested all various yesterday and it had always the same, space and quotas.

Is it buggy or it is not exist feature to the server_params?

[own3mall]

If that were true, Just Cause 2 MP server wouldn't work? It uses sqc for parameters.

See if that one works for you. If it doesn't, maybe something has been messed up on your end. Are you saying that no matter what option you pick, it ends up with a space and quoted?

[rocco27]

I checked Just Cause 2 MP xml and I see it uses sqc between <replace_texts></replace_texts>. This one works fine of course. I complained to the <server_params></server_params> only! This is the only one "section" where the options never and ever worked for me on old dedicated (Ubuntu) and new dedicated (Debian) server.

I just repeat myself options work fine in cli_params, reserve_ports, replace_texts and custom_fields (I already use it in many xml files), but it never and ever worked in server_params!
And yes, in the server_params no matter what option I pick, it ends up with a space and quoted always.

[own3mall]

Ah, ok... no need to get upset, I didn't understand.

Anyways, it looks like if you use "ns" it won't add a space or quotes?

<options>ns</options>

[rocco27]

Yo, this "ns" works, finally something I can use. Thanks. :)

So is that normal the options able to use only "ns" in <server_params></server_params>?

[own3mall]

Yes, that's probably all you need there.
