timlimit

[blasney]

Hey guys, our server doesn't seem to be moving on after the 20 minutes thats set by the scr_sd_timlimit cvar.

Can someone look this over and see why it might not be moving on to the next map after 20 minutes?

i couldnt get timelimit wokring on ours either, instead I set the roundlimit.

You can try this

set timelimit 20

I beleive that worked for us when we first set ours up.

looks to me like you have the max rounds set to zero so it doesnt know it is supposed to rotate. Set the round limit to 7 or something like it and it should do the first team to 7 then move on.

What if you don't want a round limit? You want a 20 min timelimit on the map, so regardless of the number of rounds played when the map has played 20 it switches. Like MOHAA.

[blasney]

Exactly, I do not want to specify a number of rounds won before it moves on to the next map, I want it to go after 20 minutes regarless if its been 5 rounds, or 100.

Also, my fifth line from the bottom is seta timelimit 20.

[Hammer]

This works the same way it does in Mohaa ...

You don't want score per round, set scr_sd_scorelimit and scr_sd_roundlimit to 0, you've got that part already. Now, each round will play for up to scr_sd_roundtlength minutes, you have that at 4.

Now, since you want 20 minutes for map time, set scr_sd_timelimit to 20. HOWEVER, the map will ONLY end after the LAST round is complete. If the last round happens to start at 19:59, it must play out until the objective(s) have been met OR the roundlength time is reached! This means that in reality, the map can last as long as 24 minutes (20 + 4) (take a second or so off).

Based on this, if you REALLY want the map to be no more than 20 minutes, then simply set scr_sd_roundlength to 16. The map will then run between 16 and 20 minutes.

Hope it makes sense!

[CFH666]

actually hammer, there appears to be a bug in the timelimit. When we had our server setup on time based, it would end in the middle of maps.

This is why we set ours to a scorelimit.

[blasney]

Thanks for the reply hammer, but that's exactly how I have it set.


seta scr_sd_graceperiod "10" //Time at round start where spawning and weapon choosing is still allowed, 0 - 60 seconds
seta scr_sd_roundlength "4" //round length
seta scr_sd_roundlimit "0" //Max Number of round wins per map
seta scr_sd_scorelimit "0" //Map team score limit per map
seta scr_sd_timelimit "20" //Map time limit, in minutes - 0 to 1440

[Hammer]

CFH666, there is no timelimit command or cvar in CoD, all the timelimit cvars star with scr_<gametype>_.

blasney, are you saying that after 24 minutes you're server still has not changed maps? Have you looked at the logs for rotation problems?

[CFH666]

We had this prob where the maps wouldnt rotate.. I types "\rcon nextmap" in the console and it returned "nextmap is map_restart".

then i typed

\rcon set nextmap "" *nothing in the quotes!!*

And our rotation started working.

Also, Inherint said that you need to specify a gametype before each map in the maprotation otherwise there might be issues.


I even added the line "set nextmap """ in the server.cfg, and it still had nextmap set as map_restart, I have to manually type it in console after starting our server.

Well for us, timelimit worked(not scr_sd_timelimit), but it was restarting the same map. See my above post on why.

We are having the same problem.

With the following settings:

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

seta scr_sd_roundlength "5" //round length
seta scr_sd_roundlimit "0" //Max Number of round wins per map
seta scr_sd_scorelimit "0" //Map team score limit per map
seta scr_sd_timelimit "20" //Map time limit, in minutes - 0 to 1440

set sv_mapRotation "gametype sd map mp_brecourt gametype re map mp_chateau gametype bel map mp_depot gametype sd map mp_harbor gametype re map mp_pavlov gametype bel map mp_railyard gametype sd map mp_rocket gametype re map mp_brecourt gametype bel map mp_chateau gametype sd map mp_dawnville gametype re map mp_harbor gametype bel map mp_pavlov gametype sd map mp_powcamp gametype re map mp_rocket gametype bel map mp_brecourt gametype sd map mp_carentan gametype re map mp_dawnville gametype bel map mp_harbor gametype sd map mp_hurtgen gametype re map mp_powcamp gametype bel map mp_rocket gametype re map mp_carentan gametype bel map mp_dawnville gametype sd map mp_depot gametype gametype re map mp_hurtgen gametype bel map mp_powcamp gametype sd map mp_railyard gametype re map mp_ship gametype bel map mp_carentan gametype re map mp_depot gametype bel map mp_hurtgen gametype sd map mp_pavlov gametype re map mp_railyard gametype gametype bel map mp_ship"

map mp_brecourt


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

The map never changes from brecourt.


Someone HELP

[HankScorpio]

Do map_rotate instead of map mp_brecourt and see if that helps. I think the map_rotate command may be need to kick things off with the sv_maprotation mechanism.

Ok...I took out the map mp_brecourt at the end of the config and added: +map_rotate to the end of my command line. Still not working.

map mp_railyard

After 20 minutes of playing it wont move on to an other map. When setting a Score limit of 10 it still WONT go to the nextmap in the rotation...

FOUND THE SOLUTION!

don't make it a 0...make it ""

ie

scr_sd_timelimit ""

not

scr_sd_timelimit "0"

Only problem now is that it ends at the time.....right in the middle of a round.

[Hammer]

Hmm, interesting, the code basically set it to "0" if it sees "" ...
if(getcvar("scr_sd_timelimit") == "") // Time limit per map
setcvar("scr_sd_timelimit", "0");
else if(getcvarfloat("scr_sd_timelimit") > 1440)
setcvar("scr_sd_timelimit", "1440");
level.timelimit = getcvarfloat("scr_sd_timelimit");


I don't know what the problem is, but it's in the scripts somewhere.

[Irksome]

Ok...I took out the map mp_brecourt at the end of the config and added: +map_rotate to the end of my command line. Still not working.

map_rotate has to go in the command line not the cfg (+serverexex.cfg +map_rotate)

[HankScorpio]

map_rotate has to go in the command line not the cfg (+serverexex.cfg +map_rotate)
Doesn't have to be. It just has to be the last thing which happens and command line options are always last. It's good practice to just put it on the command line but if you're careful with your config files and command lines you can put it in a config file.

[Hammer]

RDH-Maximus is right! Make sure you're server config script(s) are correct and you will not have any problems. My server config script calls several other config scripts (keeps things clean and separate) and all but one file is identical across all the servers in MC Gamers. I'll post a zip file when I get a chance. The map_rotate is in the scripts, not the command line.

[imported_TvS_Apollo]

Yes, please do. I'm totally lost. I took the zeroes out and replaced them with "" only and I put the kill limit at 10 for SD. Here's what appears to happen. The map starts, gets to 10 points then goes to the score screen, resets and starts the first map again. When I manually go to the next map, we play THAT map to 10 points and then it rotates to the following map fine like it should. For some reason it's getting hung up on the first map in rotation. Is this something to do with the map rotation AND the starting map line? Is it somehow telling it to restart and it's going back to the first map in rotation. PLEASE help me! This is so annoying. Plus i'm an idiot... i don't know where or how to use the +map_rotate thing you're talking about. Please write it for me as if i was in first grade... which I nearly am. Thanks. lol

Maybe you should read the part of my statement that you quoted.....and added: +map_rotate to the END OF MY COMMAND LINE.
