I have my server working via shortcut + properties but I want to put quite a large amount of options on there. I thought I could simply copy and paste those into a text file and use the -file "path to text file" but it doesnt seem to work.
here is my server shortcut:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->C:\dedicated\ns\Server.exe -file "C:\dedicated\ns\server1.txt"<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
and here is the contents of C:\dedicated\ns\server1.txt
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->-map ns2_veil -limit 16 -name "Gorgeous Gorge" -webadmin -webdomain "PROSPECTIVE IP ADDRESS" -webport 8000 -webuser USERNAME -webpassword PASSWORD -console<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
What have I done wrong?

You'll love this. It is a fresh VM install of W7x64. I forgot that it hides extenstions. my server1.txt was actually REALLY called server1.txt.txt
stupid boy.
