Nice work. I'm working on wikifying it.

QUESTION #1

I'd like to move some steps to the command line, in particula the server handling. After all, the user has the command line open, so we might as well use it.

What is the server service name (not the display name) for the TAG service? (You can find it in Services by right clicking the TAG service and picking Properties; it's the first field in the General tab.)

I'm asking because sc wants the server service name, not the display name.

QUESTION #2

Is it cores.txt or core.txt?

Article split into Running the R4 server and Server Configuration.

should the requirements for running a public server be on there too?

No customized servers are allowed.That being said, you are welcome to host custom cores and custom maps on your stock server.It must be running on a static IP address. Dynamic IPs are unsupportedIt should be a "dedicated" server that is regularly available. Revolving door servers would annoy people as they wonder why the server is not there sometimesIt should be hosted on a connection that has enough bandwidth to support a large game. Hosting a server from home is not a good ideaASGS cannot run on the server machine. The server machine cannot be used to play Allegiance.It's also recommended that the IP address is not shared with other computers that are used to play Allegiance. If possible, the IP address of the server should never be shared with any machines that are used to play Allegiance.I think that about covers it.

In order for any server to join the public lobby, I have to clear the IP address/etc to allow it to connect. Otherwise the server will not appear in the lobby.

also, searching for "running a server" doesn't take you to that page, I thought it ignored case? or do we need to have redirects for different capitalizations?

Capitalisation counts for anything that isn't the first letter of a page title.
