First map repeating problem

[Cromlech]

I am sure this is just a cfg prob, but on both my dedicated servers after building the cfg file with map list, and then joining the server, the first map just repeats and it won't move on to the next map in rotation.

Any ideas?

First guess...too long a map list...maybe try shortening the map list first then try it. See if you then continue getting the repeat. My .cfg only has 6 maps.
Good Luck

PS: don't forget to let us know what the out come is...

it's not the size of the map list,i have had just as long a list,make sure your second map is a DM map,also check if the map names are put in the cfg correctly.
The best way to do this is write down how you have them in the server cfg,get on your server and open console,open each map as you have it written in the cfg,if the server doesn't recognize what you type then thats where your problem is.
This may or may not be the problem,but it breaks it down somewhat for you.

If the map started with the map command simply repeats, then more likely than not sv_maplist it blank! Yes, I know, I see it too in the dmserver.cfg ... open the console and make sure it's set. Another possibility is that the aftermath map script is somehow resetting it. Do you have any other mods installed? Are you actually starting dmserver.cfg OR perhaps some other cfg file, like server.cfg?

Sorry for the delay in replying, had to go away for a few fays.

I Checked each map from within server, all fine.

Then found that rotation worked fine when empty.

Had me and one other player in today, and same problem.

After that I have noticed that frag limit was set to 3, would that cause a problem.

Also can you please help me with exact use of the sv_maplist command from within server, and explain how intermission and timelimit commands should be used.

Thx, will keep you posted.

After some slightly more thoughtful observation, i have discovered that this is only occurring on my obj server, the dm seems to be running fine now.

I have checked all maps from within the server, all fine, but it still refususe to rotate.

Am wondering if it might be to do with timelimts and stuff, any more ideas?

Well, for some silly reason, I decided to offer this problem to EA support.

I imagine you can all guess how useful the answer was!
