Map Rotation

[Sysgod]

Why oh why does my map rotation not work, it stays on ffa_bespin, even after timelimit expires -

 

Exerpt from my server.cfg:

 

seta fraglimit "50" // For FFA - Frags a single player accumulates to end the round.

seta timelimit "10" // Time limit for round if fraglimit. 0 = no limit

seta g_autoMapCycle "0" // Rotate through maps automatically. Use 0 for custom rotation

seta g_gametype "0" // 0 = FFA

 

// Banning

seta g_banIPs "" // List of IP's to be banned

seta g_filterBan "1" // Enable Ban by Ip

 

// Map Rotation

set d1 "map ffa_bespin ; seta nextmap vstr d2"

set d2 "map ffa_deathstar ; seta nextmap vstr d3"

set d3 "map ffa_ns_hideout ; seta nextmap vstr d4"

set d4 "map ffa_ns_streets ; seta nextmap vstr d5"

set d5 "map ffa_imperial ; seta nextmap vstr d6"

set d6 "map ffa_yavin ; seta nextmap vstr d1"

 

vstr d1

Try set nextmap instead of seta nextmap. You can always check what the next map is supposed to be by typing nextmap in the server console.

[Sysgod]

I did that, now after the first level, it hangs and when I try to change a setting, it says you can't do that during intermission?

 

Should I post my whole server.cfg? Here is my batch file -

 

jk2ded.exe + set ip 209.90.15.8 +set net_port 28070 +set dedicated 2 +set sv_pure 1 +exec server.cfg

[MatrixCPA]

Try adding this setting to your server.cfg:

 

seta g_intermissionTime "0"

 

It appears you have an intermission time value set--hence the "hang" after the level ends. A look at your whole server.cfg might be helpful.

map ffa_ns_hideout

 

-----------------------------------------

 

I left out the password section for obvious reasons. I am currently using this, it only plays map ffa_ns_hideout, and will not autoMapcycle, even though it's set to "1".

 

I've tried setting autoMapcycle to "0", then un-rem-ing the Map Rotation, and starting with map ffa_bespin. Gets stuck on Bespin. As you can see we have added the seta g_intermissionTime "0" .

 

Thanks for all your help MatrixCPA... I hope you can help me resolve this...

[MatrixCPA]

Did the intermission time of 0 help? Or are we waiting to see? You might check your jk2mpconfig.cfg located in ~/.jkii/base to see if it has the intermission time cvar set in there.

[Sysgod]

BTW - it still wasn't working... testing something else now though. You had me go into the jk2mpconfig.cfg and check the intermission (that was 0), but the map rotation showed this -

 

seta d1 "map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d2"

seta d1 "map ffa_deathstar ; set nextmap vstr d3"

seta d1 "map ffa_ns_hideout ; set nextmap vstr d4"

 

I was running map ffa_ns_hideout first, and then it was trying to goto d4, which is not defined. But, that doesn't make sense, because I set AutoMapCycle=1 and rem'd out the map rotation.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Still waiting to see if it works? Wanna login and try it? 209.90.15.8:28070

// set d6 "map ffa_yavin ; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

map ffa_ns_hideout

 

shouldn't you be doing :

 

vstr d3

 

instead of the map ffa_ns_hideout call at the end of the file? Without it you don't setup nextmap properly.

[MatrixCPA]

He's trying to use g_autoMapCycle "1", which is why the rotation is commented out and he's just calling a map at the end. Normally, that should work. I'd delete all the rotation seta's from the jk2mpconfig.cfg. Make sure you restart the server application after that's done and give it one more go. Also, type nextmap into the console and see what it says.

[JRA_Akira]

try to take out the automapcycle out.. then try it.. i think it i will work..

try setting the advanced cycle though.. here is the key:

 

set d1 "fraglimit 15 ; timelimit 10 ; g_gametype 0 ; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d2"

set d2 "fraglimit 150 ; timelimit 15 ; g_gametype 3 ; capturelimit 3 ; map q3ctf2 ; set nextmap vstr d3"

set d3 "fraglimit 150 ; timelimit 15 ; g_gametype 4 ; capturelimit 3 ; map q3ctf3 ; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1

 

after the semi ; you can put any commands you like..

[MatrixCPA]

I hadn't seen anyone running stock q3 maps. Does that work the way you'd expect?

[sysgods monkey]

does the server require a client connection to force a map change?

 

*shootin in the dark now*

[MatrixCPA]

That depends on the gametype and related frag/capture limits.

[Sysgod]

We are FFA only right now.

[sysgods monkey]

timelimit "30"

fraglimit "50"

 

all others are defaults... whatever ever they happen to be. Thanks for your help thus far

[sysgods monkey]

got it working matrix. Thanks for your help

[Sysgod]

Disregard the above posts from my Monkey and myself... It works when people are logged in now. Here is what the map rotation looks like -

 

seta g_autoMapCycle "0" // Rotate through maps automatically. Use 0 for custom rotation

seta g_gametype "0" // 0 = FFA

seta g_intermissionTime "0" //added cause MatrixCPA says it will help

 

// Map Rotation

set d1 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d2"

set d2 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_deathstar ; set nextmap vstr d3"

set d3 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_ns_hideout ; set nextmap vstr d4"

set d4 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_ns_streets ; set nextmap vstr d5"

set d5 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_imperial ; set nextmap vstr d6"

set d6 "set g_gametype 0; map ffa_yavin ; set nextmap vstr d1"

 

//set the start map

vstr d1

[JRA_Akira]

yea man.. thats what i said.. u see it works!
