Warmup Time

[AC™ Chainlink]

I've got everything set up for my dedicated duel match servers except for the warmup time, can anyone help me out with this? I've tried seta g_warmup blah and it doesn't work. Here is my config file:

Thanks again for the help, Chain.

Just add this:

 

seta g_doWarmup "1"

Unfortunately its still not working. I've tried lots of different ways, using set, seta, wait, etc. Nothing seems to work. I can't even get a warm up when I start up a server from within game. Even though I say 'yes' for warmup and set the time it still gives nothing. If anyone else has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Ok, try it this way:

 

set d1 "set g_gametype 3; set g_warmup 20 ; map duel_jedi; set nextmap vstr d2"

set d2 "set g_gametype 3; set g_warmup 20; map duel_carbon; set nextmap vstr d3"

set d3 "set g_gametype 3; set g_warmup 20; map duel_bay; set nextmap vstr d4"

set d4 "set g_gametype 3; set g_warmup 20; map duel_pit; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

One thing to remember is that the warmup starts the second the new map pops up. So, if it takes you more that 20 seconds to load the new map, you won't see the warmup happen. One easy way to check if it's happening is to look at your log or just watch the console. If there's a warmup, it'll look like the map starts twice. You should make sure you have g_autoMapCycle set to 0

 

You may also want to check your jk2mpconfig.cfg and make sure that the settings there are consistent with your server.cfg.

Just adding a crazy idea, but wouldnt warmups be just for team games. I know duels are 1v1 like a team game in a sense but it might just be a team game setting that was put in by mistake in the options when making a server from the gui. Obviously I could be wrong but just throwing in an idea.
