2. Launching a server using command prompt (DOS/Linux)

####################################################

You can type in any of the two following commands to start a server:

ucc server -mod=AthenaSword

*This will use the default server settings that can be found in the
Mods\\AthenaSword\\System\\ServerAthenaSword.ini.

You can also use the following command:

ucc server -mod=AthenaSword -servercfg=[Insert your server file name here]

The default location for ini files is the Raven Shield's system folder

e.g. ucc server -mod=AthenaSword -servercfg=MyAthenaSwordCfg.ini
will load MyAthenaSwordCfg.ini from the Raven Shield's system folder.
ucc server -mod=AthenaSword -servercfg=..\\Mods\\AthenaSword\\System\\MyAthenaSwordCfg.ini
will load MyAthenaSwordCfg.ini from the Athena Sword's system folder.
