Spear Head Server Help

[General_Guttless]

Spearhead Server questions....

a replacement for localization.txt..... loved being able to customize the settings..... boohoo.... can't do it with SH

Random crashes at the end of obj and tow maps.... it never goes to another map.... the only recognizable error is

Can't load maplist_tow.cfg

yep... it' can't doesn't exist... where's it being called from.... what should be in it...

Help

Post your server cfg so we can look at it.

[General_Guttless]

Glad to post it.... but it's a little confusing.... first I've extracted my callvote.cfg from the approiate .pk3.... and currently no voting... ppl just pick silly things.... had it closed down to just maps.... but even that.... once u "call a vote" on a map, it uses the internal .cfg's and I'm just too lazy to change those

I have a ffa.cfg, team.cfg.... etc... each of these call's local.cfg.... so I'll post my team.cfg and follow it by local.cfg

Ok first of all the localization.txt stuff is not working in Spearhead so I would just take that out.
You need to set sv_maxrate to something, check the Guides section for the Maxrate guide.
The reason your maps dont change is that you need to START with the first map in your maplist, you are telling it to start with the wrong map.
Remove the MapRotationTime setting, you already have TimeLimit set.
Make the same changes to the rest of your cfgs too.
BTW--you shouldnt post your passwords just use xxxxxx, you should change them.

[General_Guttless]

appreciate the pw thing.... dumb.... I've changed it

You missunderstand.... maps rotate fine.... starting map doesn't have to be first map.... makes no dif

What does happen... is

When a vote is called it runs a maplist internal to the .pk3 files

btw.... u'r server is down.... heehee

check me out at 24.145.164.226

[Mr_nStuff]

If you're having problems with the maplists being loaded from the pak1.pk3.. You can simply MOD thoughs cfg files more to your liking. Just like you did with the callvote.cfg. Or better yet, remove all the contents of thoughs maplist.CFG's and replace them all with your maplist..

Also.. It's highly possible thoughs maplist.cfg files are bad.. They all use the seta command.. Changing them all to set instead, just might fix the problem.

[General_Guttless]

hmmm.... already did that and it worked.... glad to see you agreed with my fix.... I commented it out in the .pk3... and put it all in a new, non-compressed file called....

maplist.cfg....

One place to set em all

yea I see the seta.... doesn't seem to make a dif.... but now I can have my
sv_maplist
and
ui_maplist_(game type)

the same.... really don't understand the difference

[SNYPE]

I only run my server on nites and weekends, I probably should write that in there...lol.
Good call guys, now anyone have a clue what hoses the maplist.cfg?

[General_Guttless]

Yep.... Voting....

within the pak1.pk3 file are a bunch of .cfg's

remove them from the .pk3

put their contents in a file in the root of the directory.... the file name isn't important as long as it ends in a .cfg and call it from whatever u use to start u'r server.....

here's an example of the contents of this file

seta ui_maplist_ffa "dm/MP_Bahnhof_DM dm/MP_Verschneit_DM dm/MP_Brest_DM dm/MP_Unterseite_DM dm/MP_Stadt_DM dm/MP_Gewitter_DM dm/MP_Holland_DM dm/MP_Bazaar_DM"
seta ui_maplist_obj "obj/obj_team1 obj/obj_team2 obj/obj_team3 obj/obj_team4"
seta ui_maplist_round "dm/MP_Bahnhof_DM dm/MP_Verschneit_DM dm/MP_Brest_DM dm/MP_Unterseite_DM dm/MP_Stadt_DM dm/MP_Gewitter_DM dm/MP_Holland_DM dm/MP_Bazaar_DM"
seta ui_maplist_tow "obj/MP_Druckkammern_TOW obj/MP_Flughafen_TOW obj/MP_Ardennes_TOW obj/MP_Berlin_TOW"
seta ui_maplist_team "dm/mohdm1 dm/MP_Bahnhof_DM dm/mohdm2 dm/MP_Verschneit_DM dm/mohdm3 dm/MP_Brest_DM dm/mohdm4 dm/MP_Unterseite_DM dm/mohdm5 dm/MP_Stadt_DM dm/mohdm6 dm/MP_Gewitter_DM dm/mohdm7 dm/MP_Holland_DM dm/MP_Bazaar_DM"


U may have to cut and paste this into a text doc but

these values should agree with the values U set in the

sv_maplist variable


You asked one I have a handle on....

heehee
