it would be real nice if we could add parameters to the commandline not just the server permiters but like this



for instance LFS by your panel only supports windows however it will run just fine under wine..


so if i could just have the abality to put wine in front of the executeable file it would therefore be able to launch the server under wine and simpley kiling that processes and re-executing it would allow it to restart

this would be a simple solution for may of the problems with windows games is there any way this can be done?

or would it be possable to get it added very soon?

When it comes to Linux-servers, what you are requesting is in most cases trivial to fix on your own:
1. Rename the executable
Code:
mv game.exe game_orig.exe

2. Create a script with the same name as the executable, in which you launch the executable through wine
Code:
touch game.exe

Code:
#!/bin/bash
wine game_orig.exe


You may have to fiddle a bit with how to launch the exe. You may need to put an 'exec' at the start of the line (or possibly an '&' at the end) like so:
Code:
exec wine game_orig.exe

to ensure that GC knows which process to monitor.

This of course assumes that an executable has been defined for the linux server. Sometimes no executable has been defined, in which case you are out of luck until someone at Mammoth adds a random name which you can use for your script.

The linux binary we have set for Live for Speed is simply called: server
Windows as you've found is LFS.exe

Unfortunately there isn't any dev time available right now to make the changes you want.
