Execing a .cfg file

[Trinity]

I am still haveing a problem with execing the cfg files from inside the game. I open the console, type the password, that goes just fine. Then I type /rcon exec servertdm.cfg , enter, It says execing servertdm.cfg . Nothing happens. We have a cfg file for 4 of the game types with all the correct maps in each. Here is the tdm cfg file:
seta g_log ""

We cannot seem to get the gametype to change in game or out.
Is it even possible to exec a cfg in this game? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put the command map_rotate as the last line of your configs and it'll work.

[Trinity]

Thanks, I will try that ASAP.

Put the command map_rotate as the last line of your configs and it'll work.

OK, I put that in our map cfg files and now it wont switch when I exec a different map cfg.

[Trinity]

Ok I we put that in the cfg files, Still a no go.
Also here are our command line variables:
+set dedicated 2 +set net_ip 64.5.58.40 +exec serversd.cfg +map_rotate

We tried to exec a cfg file, It changed map , but not game type.
Any ideas?? Thanks for the help.

[HankScorpio]

Try putting the following line just before the map_rotate...

sv_mapRotationCurrent ""

If the server is already up and you're trying to run a config to switch to a different map rotation, you have to clear out sv_mapRotationCurrent. Otherwise, it finishes off what's in there first before it reads what's in sv_mapRotation.

That did the trick, Thanks a bunch for the help. :smile:
