im a noob setting up a server

[bambikiller]

I'm having a hard time finding the right way to put custom maps on my server. some one told me I could put a bunch of maps in one zip file then rename it to a pk3 then upload it to my ftp. Put it into the main and it should work. I'm not sure how the custom maps should be spelled out in the cfg files. I see alot of examples of cfg files but nothing with a custom map rotation. Also is there a limit to how many custom maps i can run? If someone could help me that would be great...Thanks Bambikiller

map mp_dawnville


this is pretty much the default rotation I got from the hosting co I rent from...I want to change the rotation to 10 or 20 custom maps but cant find how to set up the rotation.....please help

All you need to do is take away the maps you dont want in your rotation an add the ones you do.

Example:

set sv_mapRotation "gametype sd map mp_brecourt gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype re map mp_chateau gametype dm map mp_dawnville gametype bel map mp_depot gametype sd map mp_harbor gametype tdm map mp_hurtgen" (medium rotation)

Or,

set sv_mapRotation "gametype sd map mp_brecourt gametype tdm map mp_carentan gametype re map mp_chateau" (for small rotation)

Thats it. Makle sure you have a map to start the rotation off.
Example:

map mp_brecourt

Also, if your switching game types every map or every other map, make sure you add the gametype before each map. If you just want one gametype, you only need this before the first map.

Thank you for your help...How about custom maps...in mohaa I would look in the ui folder to find out what the map was called...in cod they dont use that folder. so the guys who are making custom maps, what are they using to name the map. is it the same as the name of the pk3? in the rotation part of the cfg?

The people that make "custom" maps call them whatever they want with a valid extension.
