Linux server-first map doesn't start automatically-Help !

[brougham]

I have a linux 1.2 server setup. I can start the server with the command, cod_lnxded but the first map doesn't load. I can load the map manually but would like the server to start auto... cfg file:

map mp_brecourt

set sv_mapRotationCurrentmap "mp_brecourt"

map mp_brecourt

^---- Remove those two lines, it will load properly then.

I'm not sure what the problem is, I used to load our map as you have your cfg (minus sv_maprotationcurrentmap...that's a useless setting/command); but after updating to 1.3, the server wouldn't load the map that way any more. So, I just removed the map command line and just set sv_maprotation and all was well.

Again, don't ask, but it worked.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but it didn't make a difference.
The first map didn't load.... Below is the dialog when launching the server from ./cod_lnxded....

What are your command line arguments?

What/Where are the config(s) you're loading?

What map is being loaded?

[brougham]

I only created the one config file calling it default_mp.cfg. It is located in the "main directory along with the pk3 files.

So I have a root directory, COD with cod_lnxded and the localization file and etc and main beneath it.

As stated earlier everything works fine if I start the server with ./cod_lnxded from a terminal session followed by map_xxxxx.
With xxxxx being one of the maps.

Should the server be started by a script ? or additional commands at the end of the config file ?

Any help is appreciated !

set sv_mapRotationCurrentmap "mp_brecourt"

map mp_brecourt

Change the last two lines to the following:
set sv_mapRotationCurrentmap "" // Two double-quotes

map_rotate

[Anex]

Here's an example I found as to how a Linux dedicated server should be started:

./cod_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 28962 +set developer 0 +set fs_basepath /opt/cod2 +set fs_homepath /opt/cod2 +exec yourserverconfig.cfg +map_rotate

[brougham]

Thank you ! and others that responded, as it turns out, I just needed to add +map_rotate...
