Using movie configuration files

Each different movie that connects to the server may also have its own configuration file. You can use the same parameters in this configuration file that you use in the server's Multiuser.cfg file to give the movie its own specific settings for those parameters. The server reads the movie's configuration file when the first instance of the movie connects to the server. Give the movie's configuration file the same name that the movie uses to connect to the server, such as Whiteboard.cfg, and place it in the location you specify in the Multiuser.cfg file. If the server does not recognize a particular setting name or a setting is invalid, users will not be able to connect with that movie.

Movie.cfg files cannot use the `serverIPAddress` or `serverPort` tags. In addition to the other parameters used in the server's Multiuser.cfg file, you can use the following parameters to control specific movie actions:

NotifyDisconnect lets you specify a group name for the server to send a message to each time a user of the movie disconnects from the server.

GroupSizeLimits lets you specify a maximum number of users to allow in each group you specify for the movie. You can specify a different limit for each group. When this parameter is used, the groups will exist on the server even when they have no members.
