Change difficulty and game mode in MP?

edited 2014 Nov 16 in Technical Support
Hi,

As I start up my server, it automatically comes up as a deathmatch server.
How do I change it back to cooperative?
Can't find it from here

Also when I type "server-game-skill 4" to the console, the server stubbornly remains as skill 5
I've tried setting "server-game-skill 4" or "server-game-skill = 4" or "doomsday-server-game-skill 4" or "doomsday-server-game-skill = 4" to the advanced settings/options.

It said in here that I could change the skill AND the deathmatch/coop from multiplayer GUI.
Ok.
Where is that? Or how can I access that?

    You can change it back to coop and change the skill level by modifying the game.cfg found in the path specified in your servers advanced -tab "runtime folder":
    <runtime folder>/configs/doom/game.cfg

    change to coop:
    - open the game.cfg with notepad
    - comment (add # in front of row) the following lines:
    server-game-deathmatch 2
    server-game-deathmatch-killmsg 1

    The values should change to 0 after you have started the server once.

    change skill level:
    change the value of the row
    server-game-skill <NUMBER>

    NOTE: the NUMBER is always one smaller than the target skill level; e.g. if you wish to have skill level 4(ultra-violence) you enter:
    server-game-skill 3

    Save the game.cfg and start your server.

    Have fun!
