VSTR in BT - anyone???

[bystander]

All,

I tried to get vstr working on the BT demo last nite -- no luck. The only thing that works is the old maplist way of loading maps. Anyone have any luck getting vstr to work??

If it's been yanked, it seems stupid put in a useful admin feature in SH and then leave it out in the next pack. But this is EA we're talking about here, so no surprise if so...

The VSTRs are working fine for me.

Here is my maplist.cfg file:
set d1 "set g_gametype 4; set roundlimit 5; map obj/mp_palermo_obj; set nextmap vsrt d2;"
set d2 "set g_gametype 6; map lib/mp_anzio_lib; set nextmap vstr d1;"
vstr d1

Bah, thanks Blasney. Brain fart on my end. I've got it working fine now. Thanks again...

Can you help, does that string go in the sv_maplist or is it a separate cfg?
Tried it under sv_maplist, but it failed to run Anzio after Palermo, and server crashed. :(

It goes in place of sv_maplist. Comment out the sv_maplist line, and the map lines if you're going to use vstr. vstr is a different (and much better) way of setting up the server map rotation. Look around in these forums, there are a number of threads about it. Here's mine for example. I run each map as TDM, then run anzio again as Liberation. Note commented out map/sv_maplist lines:

[code:1]// Map
// Starting map on the rotation.
//map "obj/mp_palermo_obj"

// Map Rotation List
//sv_maplist "obj/mp_palermo_obj lib/mp_anzio_lib"

set x1 "set g_gametype 2; timelimit 20; map obj/mp_palermo_obj; set nextmap vsrt x2;"
set x2 "set g_gametype 2; timelimit 20; map lib/mp_anzio_lib; set nextmap vstr x3;"
set x3 "set g_gametype 6; timelimit 20; map lib/mp_anzio_lib; set nextmap vstr x1;"
vstr x1[/code:1]

Can't thank you enough, for taking the time to explain it so clearly to a relative server admin newbie!
Works a treat. ;)
