Problems With Gametypes 2

[Elsar]

Hi all and thx For reading and replying to this thred

 

ok my problem is this...i have a server running on ffa

with kill limit of 30 and timelimit of 25

now when ppl vote in game to change game for duel

these settings are not changing to a duel mode game....

it even makes it possible to play same ffa game only on a duel map...what i want to do is that my server will be able to go from

ffa to duel or whatever (from voting) without having to reset it

evrytime a game type changes...i basically want 30 kill limit and 25 timelimit on ffa....and when it goes to duel i want 3 kill limit and 10 duel limit 25 timelimit...

please help...this is a really eambaressing prob..

i have to restart and shut server dow every time i wanna change gametype

As far as I know, you can't accomplish what you want via voting. You're going to need to write a custom map rotation to do that. If you leave voting turned on, players will always be able to "breaK" the rotation and mess up the game types.

Here's one possible solution:

First - Disable voting. And if you want you can try to find some regulars that you can trust if you want and let them help you "admin" the server by giving them the admin password and instructions on how to properly change to a duel map and set the right parameters.

 

Second - Put in a map rotation where every other map is a Duel so you have ffa, duel, ffa, duel, ...

 

Here my current rotation (notice ffa, duel, tffa, duel, ffa, ...)

Doesn't that confuse players going from one gametype to the next all the time?

[crazyplaya73]

Some people don't like it but most people enjoy it. It keeps things fresh. I dunno about you but I find it kind of boring to play duel after duel or FFA after FFA. Its fun to play a different gametype every map IMO.

[QuietSith]

I see what you mean.

 

I just figured if people want to duel they go on a duel server, and if they want FFA they go on an FFA server.

 

I'm too used to Quake style - select your server/gametype combos.

 

I'm new to the JK 2 server stuff.

 

I've been getting lots of regulars on my server, and they tend to fill it up the majority of the time.
