Unable to get map roation to work

[df]

What am I doing wrong?

Here is the line in my short cut:

"E:\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +exec ded.cfg +map_rotate


Here is my ded.cfg file:

// Hostname and Message of the Day
set sv_hostname "^6D^4isco^6F^4ever's ^5CoD TDM"
//set scr_motd "Destroy Target A or B by planting explosives at either location."

exec maps.cfg


Here is my maps.cfg file:

It says it is exec'ing maps.cfg yet the maps are not in the order of the file and it never loads hurtgen. Obvioulsy I ahve something wrong but I don;t get it. Thanks for any help getting me going.

[imported_MaD-Ogre]

Are you the guy that I posted my maps.cfg file for because it looks very similar. BTW, you can remove the gametype immediately after brecourt. Here's the problem: you've created custom CVARs with your map rotations that CoD doesn't know how to handle. The last line in your maps.cfg file should be vstr tdm_maps. the vstr command causes CoD to execute a CVAR as if it was typed in. From a remote console, you can also do /rcon vstr tdm_brecourt and clear the current rotation and set it to brecourt only. To go back to your normal rotation, use /rcon vstr tdm_maps. This assumes that you've already set your rcon password locally. I had put the non-rotating maps in for matches and such.

Yes it was me and I thought I understood but ...uh no I didn't ;). OK so I am only missing the one line. I knew it was something stupid since the console shows it doesn't know what the current roation is. Adding that line now and re-execing. Will post back. Thanks for the help.

Ok now it show this:

map_rotate...

"sv_mapRotation" is:"gametype tdm map mp_brecourt gametype tdm map mp_carentan map mp_hurtgen map mp_depot map mp_railyard map mp_pavlov map mp_harbor map mp_rocket map mp_dawnville map mp_powcamp mp_chateau"

"sv_mapRotationCurrent" is:" gametype tdm map mp_carentan map mp_hurtgen map mp_depot map mp_railyard map mp_pavlov map mp_harbor map mp_rocket map mp_dawnville map mp_powcamp mp_chateau"

Setting g_gametype: tdm.
Setting map: mp_carentan.

Where is brecourt? It is picking up the rotation but skipping the first map.

sv_maprotationcurrent ""

set g_gametype "tdm" //gametype: bel, dm, re, sd, tdm

set sv_mapRotation "gametype tdm map mp_brecourt gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype tdm map mp_chateau gametype tdm map mp_dawnville gametype tdm map mp_depot gametype tdm map mp_harbor gametype tdm map mp_hurtgen gametype tdm map mp_pavlov gametype tdm map mp_powcamp gametype tdm map mp_railyard gametype tdm map mp_rocket gametype tdm map mp_ship"

map_rotate

That is what I use on the CODAdmin servers.

[imported_MaD-Ogre]

When you first start it up or redo the vstr tdm_maps, sv_mapRotationCurrent gets cleared. The map_rotate command causes the server to rotate to whatever map is in sv_mapRotationCurrent but since it is empty, it'll copy what's in sv_mapRotation then start the first map in the list. sv_mapRotationCurrent just shows you what maps are cued up to run next.

Ogre, thanks for the help. I didn't understand why it didn't start with brecounrt but I do now. All the maps are there and it goes through them all now as it should.
