Setting up a Windows dedicated server

Setting up a dedicated server is not hard at all.

Goto notepad and open that file.

If you want to run a LOCAL dedicated server type this in your file: 
stvoyhm.exe +dedicated 1 +exec test1.cfg
If you want to run a INTERNET dedicated server type this in your file:
stvoyhm.exe +dedicated 2 +exec test1.cfg

Explanations

If you don't like reading, skip this whole part. Then, come back here for detailed explanation on a particular function in your server config.

Note: If the beginning of a line is double slashed, that line will be ignored by the server.

g_gametype 4
Set the Gametype to 4 for Capture the Flag Mode / 3 for Team Deathmatch / 1 for Free For all.

fraglimit 0

How-To-Use Example: To kick someone named neelix, type:
/rconpassword secret
and type:
/rcon kick neelix
note that you only need to type the rconpassword once everytime you connect to the server.

sv_maxRate 10000
set max allowable rate for a client. 8000 to 10000 recommended. Max: 25000 (Default: 0)
This stops a fast client from hogging all the bandwidth from your server.

sv_pure 0

sv_master2 ""
sv_master3 ""
sv_master4 ""

set d2 "map ctf_thebunker ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map noreturn ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "map ctf_space ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "map ctf_canyon ; set nextmap vstr d1"

Set map selection, cycle order.
Just change the map names to your liking. To add another map to the cycle, change line 5 to this:
set d5 "map ctf_canyon ; set nextmap vstr d6"
and add this new line
set d6 "map ctf_kln1 ; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1
This command starts the first map which, in this example, is ctf_spyglass.
if you want to start from the second map, you would put: vstr d2

valid teams are: borg, starfleet, hazardteam, klingons, romulans

//g_team_group_red starfleet

For blue team
//g_team_group_blue borg

addbot tuvok 5 red 100
addbot gowron 5 blue 100
these add bots to the game.
Eg: addbot tuvok 5 red 100 means that it will add a bot "tuvok" to the game with level 5 skill on red team. the 100 means the bot will act like a person with 100 ping.

Done

Okay, when you are done. You can double click the dedicated.bat and your server will start running!
Note that you can change the name of the test1.cfg to anything.cfg but remember to change your bat file as well.
