Okay, first of all: I'm german so sorry if my english is bad.:D
Well, here's my problem:
I want to set up a Fallout NV-Server.
I already configured all the .inis based on the Tutorial of Volumed, but when I start the Server it's a Fallout 3-Server instead of a Fallout NV-Server.
I've changed the "game=fallout3" to "game=newvegas" but the problem just won't go away.
Any Ideas of what I did wrong?

My tutorial is outdated, so a lot of steps should not be done anymore.
Did place the server in a separated folder and is the vaultserver.ini still with the vaultserver.exe and all the other folders? Did you save it? ctrl + s.

I didn't move them, they are all in the places where they were in the beginning.
I just edited the .inis I needed to and that's it.
Is there a "How to" for setting up a server which isn't outdated?
Sry if there is and I just didn't find it.:p

If you specify "game=newvegas" the server will be a New Vegas server. The .ini should be in the same directory as the executable; optionally, you can use the path to the .ini as first program argument.

Well, I already wrote "game=newvegas" in it, but it doesn't work.
Also the .ini is in the same directory, so I don't really know why it's always a Fallout 3-Server...

Show us the full .ini content. It works for all other people including me, so there's very likely to be an error in your setup.

Sooo, somehow I got the Server working now.
Don't really know why it's working now, but well it's certainly better that way. :D
One question though: Is it normal that all containers are empty, and that when I rejoin I get fully reseted?

Yes, this is normal. However you can write a script which saves your items:

The next version of vaultmp will re-populate the world with items / items in containers dynamically.

That sounds good!
One more question: Can you give me an example of what I need to write into the .ini for it to function properly?
I already wrote the scripts into .cpp-Files but don't really know what to write into the .ini to actually find and load it.

Did you compile the script?

Yes, compiled.

Then you'll need to add the path to the compiled object file (.dll or .so) to the "scripts" line, like

scripts=vaultscript.dll

Pathes given in that scripts line are relative to the root of the vaultserver executable.
