Multiple Map Rotations

[Storm3y]

Hey,

I have my server setup to play FFA 24/7 however I'm wanting to make another config so we can have it on mixed gametypes when we want and so we can exec it ingame without restarting the server.

Any idea how do this?

Not sure it's possible, if I understand you right. I don't think you can switch from one map list.cfg to another.

What would be possible is to use in-game commands through RCon to force the name of a map and it game type. This would have to be done each time from console.

With BC2 there are rcon tools that instruct the server on each map change what to run. This was to solve a particular issue with BC2. However it did sort of prove the concept that an a rcon tool running remotely could be used to stream rcon commands to a running server that would simulate a more complex maplist/gametype list than is strictly possible by using server side cfg files.

If this feature exists in any current rcon tool for CoD:4 I have no idea. You may have to do some research or get busy with the coding and make your own.

If you make up seperate maprotation.cfg's ie, mapRotation_1 , mapRotation_2
then call one of them at the end of the server.cfg eg.

exec mapRotation_1 - the server will start with that rotation.

Then in game drop console and type /rcon exec mapRotation_2 - that should switch the rotation over (I think :D)

Yes, I think that should work, might need to force it with a map_rotate though, I am not sure.
