[Windows] Hosting second server instance excluding the plugins/scripts from previous one.

nightwings3

Dear Plutonium Community,

I have an iSnipe server running on a VPS using the plutoisnipe.dll plugin and some scripts. I want to create another server instance that doesn't use the present plugins/scripts from the iw5 storage (iSnipe ones).

Is there any way to do that?

Help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

@nightwings3 If you only have gsc scripts you can edit them to only load when the server port is X but since you have a dll file I assume you cannot modify it and so the solution would be having 2 different Plutonium folders.

Here is a bat Mxve gave me to do that
https://www.mediafire.com/file/czmdkp7g0t64mge/Plutonium2.bat/file

You simply change installDir to be your Windows user name, save it then put it in the same folder you have plutonium.exe and run it.

It will then create a new Plutonium folder here %localappdata%\Plutonium2

Then for the other server you wanna run without what's in the first folder you simply change the start bat file to use the Plutonium2 folder instead cd /D %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plutonium2

Dear @Resxt,

I'm grateful for your help. The plutonium2 solution works fine. However, would you be so kind to share the GSC code for loading scripts only when the server port is X as well? I have very low familiarity with GSC scripting.

@nightwings3 So a GSC script always starts with a Main() or Init() function, this is the entry point.
Then you usually call OnPlayerSpawned() or something like that.

If you only want your script to run on a particular server just wrap everything inside the Main or Init function inside a condition.
You can easily assign only certain part of scripts to a particular server and not another as well.

For example

Init()
{
    if (getDvarInt("net_port") == 27017)
    {
        // your logic for the server that uses the port 27017 here
    }
}
