Questions about adminning servers
 

Hey guys,


I wanted to know if there is any way to alter the map rotations via rcon and have them stay that way. I've tried so far but it resets the rotation to the first map played once the map changes.

Anyone know how to make it stick?

make a couple of different server.cfg files.
Like

tdm.cfg
obj.cfg
my_favorate_maps.cfg

Then from console you can use the exec command to run your new cfg file with your new map rotation.
would look like this
[code:07f56]rcon exec my_favorate_maps.cfg[/code:07f56]
you could also take the time to type
[code:07f56]rcon seta sv_maplist "dm/dmxfire dm/lastcastle dm/Arnhem dm/wdcobj1 dm/thunderv1" [/code:07f56]
make sure your first maps is always the same. this may work but I would go with the different cfg files much easier and cleaner.
Also remember when someone restarts the server, it will go back to the default server.cfg file and rotation.

Hope this helps

Exactly what I was after !!

Thanks heaps bigzooka:

also rcon command to change the map rotation temporarily until the server is reset use sv_maplist

for example

sv_maplist "obj/obj_team1 dm/mohdm2 obj/obj_team3"

I need a whole list of console commands like if i wanted to change to map X i need to know how to do it! Thanks much

just type

[code:fef27]rcon map dm/death_match_map[/code:fef27]

Make sure you use the correct bsp name not the pk3 name. Also If the server is running a mixed map mod. You will only be able to change the map to the current type map
