Map Voting on Ded Server and general questions

[GhostHunter]

Greetings,

 

We have a commercial dedicated server and voting doesnt seem to work properly. Cycling through maps works fine since I redid the server.cfg to include a map list, but voting directly to a given map doesnt seem to work. On every single map when you try to vote it it gives the same error.

 

You can't vote for this map, it isn't supported by the current gametype

 

This seems to happen regardless of which map you try and which gametype is selected currently or voted beforehand.

 

Anybody happen to know of a fix?

 

Also one thing I'm wondering as mods and such start to come out. I'll use the mod from Hal that changes the duel and such maps so that they work for ffa and tffa as well. I guess to install it on the server you simply put the .pk3 file in the base directory, same to install it on the client. Is this all you have to do? If so, in order for it to work on the server and do what it is supposed to do, does every single client have to download it and install it themselves?

 

Skins and models I've already seen enough posts about to guess that both the server and the client has to have the skin or model installed in order to use it, and that is done by simply putting the .pk3 file in the base directory. To use the maul skin as an example, if client A and server have it installed, client A sees himself as maul, but client B who doesnt have it installed sees him as reborn.

 

Thanks in advance for all your help.

If you could paste in a copy of your server.cfg (and map rotation .cfg if you use one), it would make it a tad easier to troubleshoot.

Sorry took me so long to come back to this. Thanks again for any help.
