Problem thats really annoying me!

[Coolant42]

I run an Obj server, and sometimes I want to change map to a DM or TOW map, but it wont let me. These are normal maps I try loading, ie. Stadt, Malta, Drukkammern. I cant even load Castello or Bologna and those are in the map rotation. I can only change to Hunt, V2, Omaha, and Bridge. Everything else I get this message "can't find map maps/mp_stadt_dm". And the funny thing is, I can load a custom map.
Also, when Palermo loads it boots everyone out of the server and wont let anyone back in untill I change the map.
Can anyone help me figure out these 2 problems?



I would post a pic's of it but I have no clue how.

hiya,

you can only change the levels to other objective matches, you can not change the game type, if you can i do not know how to do it, i will have a search around for the console command for you and i will post back.

c ya for now

[Coolant42]

To change the game type the command is g_gametype # (1 through 6). And I cant change to Bologna or Castello. They are in map rotation and load when the server moves onto a new map. But I cant load them using rcon. They both are obj maps. And Paleromo is also an obj map but boots everyone from server.

I know about 98% of all the rcon commands off the top of my head. The 2% I hardly use so I write them down. I just dont understand why the server cant find the maps. At first I thought it was my server provider that tryed to cheat me and screw me over. But I switched providers and im still having the same problem. The server provider I use now is Defcon. Some of my clan-mates say its the patch the server is running on, V2.40. Plus has anyone noticed a landsharking glitch with that version?? Cause it seems to be happenning more and more on my server, even by clan-mates and they've told me that I was doing it too.

To change to stadt the command is
rcon map dm/mp_stadt_dm
castello is
rcon map obj/mp_castello_obj
bologna is
rcon map obj/mp_bologna_obj
malta is
rcon map dm/mp_malta_dm

get a list of AA and Sh map names here
http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=41

Here are the map names for BT
obj/MP_Palermo_OBJ"
lib/MP_Anzio_LIB"
lib/MP_Tunisia_LIB"
lib/MP_BizerteHarbor_LIB"
lib/mp_ship_lib"
obj/mp_bizertefort_obj"
obj/MP_Bologna_OBJ"
obj/MP_Kasserine_TOW"
obj/MP_MonteCassino_TOW"
obj/mp_Castello_OBJ"
obj/MP_MonteBattaglia_TOW"


no matter what gametype you want to play(dm,tdm,round,obj or lib) those are the only way to change to those maps.
You have to change the gametype separately.


When it boots everyone, does it let you back in or do you need to reset the server? Do you have access to your server log?

[Coolant42]

It doesnt let anyone back in. I need to reset server, or change the map from outside the server to Hunt.

And I just tryed changing the map from the rcon you said and I got

2:25:27 PM>map mp/dm_stadt_dm
=============================
Can't find map maps/mp/dm_stadt_dm.bsp

[mt_clip_hogan]

As far as the landsharking goes. Do you have the prone mod on your computer? If it is on your computer but not on the server it makes the other players look like they are landsharking.

Post the IP of your server and I will try to stop by to help.

[Coolant42]

IP is 69.41.245.152

About the landsharking, I've also had complaints from guest's that other players are landsharking. I dont have any prone mod on my comp, im basicly running pure except for a blood mod, 3rd Canadian Infantry skin, and 2 maps Renan and Stlo.

On the server, all I've uploaded the 3rd Canadian Infan. skin, the 2 maps, and a rifles only mod that I've made.

=============================
Can't find map maps/mp/dm_stadt_dm.bsp

Unfortunately the first example hogan gave you had a typo. It should be:

map dm/dm_stadt_dm

There is no mp directory for maps. Try it this way and it should work. The reason your orignial attempts failed is because the map directory (dm/ or obj/ etc.) was missing from your command.

[mt_clip_hogan]

Oops. Sorry about that. I had the mp and the dm backwards .I have changed it. I went on your server and I have no clue about the landsharking. The players pop in and out. Try removing all the mods and then adding them back in one at a time to see if they are causing the problem.

[Coolant42]

1:49:46 AM>map dm/dm_stadt_dm
=============================
Can't find map maps/dm/dm_stadt_dm.bsp

So that still didnt work.



And I tryed removing the mods, then put them back in 1 at a time. Still a landsharking glitch.

[mt_clip_hogan]

So no mods, no custom maps, no custom skins and it still landsharks?

rcon map dm/mp_stadt_dm

[SNYPE]

You HAVE to be using the wrong exe to start the game server or have the pk3s in the wrong directories.
When the AlliedAssault exe starts it looks only in the Main directory for objects (like maps). When the Spearhead exe starts it looks through Mainta and Main (thus the exe for SH will find BOTH AA and SH maps). When the BT exe starts it looks in all 3 directories.
If you watch the server console (or in most cases check the server logs) you can see the files/folders it looks at when the server starts up. If the map you are looking for is NOT in those folders you will get the response you are getting from the console.
To test- fire up an AA test server on your gaming machine, try to load any SH map and you will see this response. The AA server does not recognize SH maps because it does not read the Mainta folder when the AA server starts.

[Coolant42]

Well the mainta folder is missing. Defcon never put it in the FTP. Guess I'll upload mine and see what happens.

[Coolant42]

I've also noticed that the landsharking happens when someone is using SH skins and weapons. Maybe that has something to do with the mainta folder missing in the FTP.

[GaSplat]

I think its time to have a heart to heart talk with your host that set you up with only half the game.

[Coolant42]

My provider is Defcon, and they got a good rating on this site. Maybe you should add something under their name like "supply's half a game".

And I finished uploading my mainta folder and still doesnt fix any problems.
