getting obj server up and running
 

hey all -

first, thanks for everyone's help who answered questins to help me get my first dm server up. kudos to all.

now -

i'm trying to set up a config file for an obj server, but i get errors on launch when it tries to open the obj maps.

here's my config file - i think the path to the maps is oncorrect so if anyone can tell me what i'm doing wrong i'd be grateful. thanks!

thanks again!

first off, I edited your post. did not know if that was your real rcon password biggrin:

I see one problem right away
[code:5ba8f]// map rotation for the server dm/mohdm5 snowy park
sv_maplist "obj_1 obj_2 obj_3 obj_4"

// starting map when launched
map obj_1 [/code:5ba8f]
Change to
[code:5ba8f]// map rotation for the server dm/mohdm5 snowy park
sv_maplist "obj/obj_1 obj/obj_2 obj/obj_3 obj_4"

// starting map when launched
map obj/obj_1 [/code:5ba8f]

You need to tell MOH what dir to look in, so you need the obj/ before the map name just like the dm/ before the map name in death match
If you have any more server questions, check out http://www.mohadmin.com and look under guides. I have sample dm / obj / and mixed server.cfg files up

rude - okay so know its known - i'm a dope! thanks for changing that password for me.

i'll make those changes you suggested and see what happens.

okay - i made the changes and here the error i get in the console:

g_gametype will be changed upon restarting.
Can't find maps/obj/obj_1.bsp
Can't find map maps/obj/obj_1.bsp

so i guess i have another problem . . .

i'll look at the mohaa admin site and see what i can find. thanks again rude.

thanks.

This is one of my cfg files for obj. it works just fine for me, the only thing i left out that you have in yours is logging for stats. hope htis helps.

Death got the other mistake. your map name are also wrong. follow his maplist and map commands. Don't use the .bsp extension at the end and use the pk3 file name.

[code:22051]seta sv_maplist "obj/obj_team1 obj/obj_team2 obj/obj_team3 obj/obj_team4"
map obj/obj_team1 [/code:22051]

thanks Death. tried to reply too quickly b4 heading out to work.

Feanor, copy the lines EXACTLY as listed below:

sv_maplist "obj/obj_team1 obj/obj_team2 obj/obj_team3 obj/obj_team4"
map obj/obj_team1

Rude messed up the map names a little thats why the error "Cant find map...."
Also to get rid of the "g_gametype will be changed upon restarting." problem, take that line out of your config and set the g_gametype in your command line of the mohaa.exe.
Heres how my command line looks:
"H:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAA.exe" +set dedicated 1 +set ui_console 1 +set g_gametype 4 +set sv_maxclients 14 +map obj/obj_team1 +exec server.cfg

I set my gametype, number of players and starting map in my command line. I would recommend at least setting gametype at command line to avoid the restart errors.

Thanks for helping him guys.

Ask judas, I always misspell the map name and lock up server biggrin:

guys - thanks alot. i got the obj server up and running with all of your help! i appreciate it to no end. really thanks!

another question - where can i get the pk3 file that allows mixing obj and tdm maps?

i thought i saw someone post something about it, but now i can't find it.

you guys are the best!
