Use Different Gamemodes on the server!

[cod4_dbgaming]

Hi All!

I wonder if you guys could help me out here.

I want to use all maps & the following Gamemodes.

// "dom" - domination
// "koth" - headquarters
// "sab" - sabotage
// "sd" - search & destroy

This without me changing Gamemodes by Rcon. Is this possible?
I tried to add all the maps and all the modes thru a *.cfg file but the server Chokes.

If I trim the maplist down to aprox 12-15 maps with different gamemodes it works, but like I said I would like to use all the maps with the specified Gamemodes above.


Btw. Im using the cod4config.zip files to run my server.
I also tried to add more gamemodes @

set g_gametype "koth" to set g_gametype "koth,sd"

in the mapconfig.cfg but it didnt help.

Thanks in advanced.

All you have to do is this............ set g_gametype "cfg"

I tried youre suggestion now but it still stays on KOTH

Heres my mapconfig.

I think all you should need to do is edit the gametype setting in your map rotation:

You Have this listed above:
set sv_mapRotation "gametype koth map mp_backlot gametype koth map mp_bloc gametype koth map mp_bog gametype koth map mp_cargoship gametype koth map mp_citystreets gametype koth map mp_convoy gametype koth map mp_countdown gametype koth map mp_crash gametype koth map mp_crossfire gametype koth map mp_farm gametype koth map mp_overgrown gametype koth map mp_pipeline gametype koth map mp_shipment gametype koth map mp_showdown gametype koth map mp_strike gametype koth map mp_vacant"

Game type for every map is koth.... so each one will play as koth.

Now here is an example of mixed gametypes:
set sv_mapRotation "gametype koth map mp_backlot gametype sab map mp_bloc gametype dom map mp_bog gametype war map mp_cargoship gametype dm map mp_citystreets gametype sd map mp_convoy gametype koth map mp_countdown gametype koth map mp_crash gametype koth map mp_crossfire gametype koth map mp_farm gametype koth map mp_overgrown gametype koth map mp_pipeline gametype koth map mp_shipment gametype koth map mp_showdown gametype koth map mp_strike gametype koth map mp_vacant"

Notice how I changed the gametype setting that is listed before the map name. You can set each map how you like.

this is because you set the maprotation to a different string each time, the strings dont get added, they are overwritten. the server runs through your config when a map is loaded (or whatever) and it will only use the last maprotation, which is KOTH

[wcSki]

I run sd, sab and dom on my server. This is the end of the config file that I am using.

I set the different game type settings above the map rotation... and then choose the gametype for the map.

[cod4_dbgaming]

It seems that this is the way to run mixed mode.

I have tried your solution but are only able to use like 15-16 maps more than that chokes the server.

But I want to be able to use all maps and 4 modes.

Its like 16*4 and you cant get the server to run with all those maps.

EDIT*

I found why it wont work :-)
The message i got was:
********************
ERROR: Attempted to overrun string in call to va()
********************

2. There is a character limit of 1028. This was the way it was in COD2 also, and we got around it by not always mentioning "gametype XX" in the rotation.

So, for example, if you wish to use just one gametype (eg. war):

Citat:
set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_countdown map mp_bloc map mp_bog map mp_countdown map mp_cargoship map mp_citystreets map mp_convoy map mp_countdown map mp_crash map mp_crossfire map mp_farm map mp_overgrown map mp_pipeline map mp_shipment map mp_showdown map mp_strike map mp_vacant"


This saves on the number of characters used, and allows you to use them to describe a map instead.

The only time you need to mention "gametype XX" after the first initial instance, is when you are switching gametypes. So, in a mixed rotation for example, you can have something like this:

Citat:
set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_crash map mp_bloc map mp_bog gametype dom map mp_cargoship map mp_citystreets map mp_convoy map mp_countdown gametype koth map mp_crash map mp_crossfire map mp_farm map mp_overgrown gametype sd map mp_pipeline map mp_shipment map mp_showdown gametype sab map mp_strike map mp_vacant"


Group your maps by gametype, and have them in sequence one after the other.

Now the question is witch maps that has to go away if I want 4 Gamemodes and the most maps :-/

Thanks anyway for your help.

[wcSki]

Well I am glad you have it figured out. I do not like your method actually because you have to have all the maps in a row with the same gametype, but to each his own. peace!

Hi all

Ok if your server is linux based and it is running the 1.3 hot fix by Ryan then you can have each and every gametype/map in the rotation. I made up the uber rotation with each map and each map has its GT setting. The character count was around 2700 and the server worked great.

This will not work on windows based servers.

[JoeyC]

I wonder if they are going to fix the character limit in the rotation in the next patch
