Map change mess

-={P.A.G}=-Barbichette · **Map change mess -** 09-04-2003, 03:40 AM

Hello all,
i have a little prob since some days.
I'm member of the PAG clan, and we run our own server in jolt.
The server is running mixed game (obj_maps, tow_maps, and custom maps)
i had no prob for a long time, but since a few day
my prog stay freeze at the score board and don't load the next map.
it can take several minute for him to change and sometime didn't change at all.
i have to kick myself, and reconnect.

Anyone have any idea ?

the problem is in your server.cfg file ...if you have it execing the maps as TDM maps then it trys to do TOW as TDM and locks up

in your server.cfg file there is a line called sv_gametype

now if its 2 it will run all maps as TDM no mater what the map is (TOWorOBJ) 2 ways you can fix it

1 turn your vote option on ..when you vote it changes the sv_maptype setting and you can play tow as tow and obj as obj and tdm as tdm ..

2 change the sv_maptype in the server.cfg to "other" (if my memory is corect its 1 for ffa..2 for tdm..3 for obj..4 for other )

that should take care of your problem

(or just get hammers goodies map fixes and use the Conhammers mapfixes files to manage your map type ..)

Great, but i have some wondering...
1° where is this server.cfg file ?
2° this mess is not allways occurs. Sometimes it works fine
3) by changing the sv_maptype in the server.cfg to "other", did it not make the others have probs ?

ok server.cfg file is in the main folder

changeing it to "other" will cause problems unless you have crowkings mixed map mods

and ck manages the map type for you

To tell you honestly, i dunno if we have "crowkings mixed map mods"
i know that our server is running mixed maps.
I had a talk with my admin and he had changed the sv_maptype to TOW mode.
And since that, and for now i do not have prob anymore...

so thank you.

In fact the modification of the cfg file work, bu tonly one night.
And it looks like i'm the only one in my clan (21 members) to
have this problem, randomly.

I have checked with some member that have the same config as i :
Windows Xp home,
medal of honor french edition + patch
spearhead french edition + patch + patch.

So i'm quite confused, why did it not work in my PC and work on others...
Should i have to uninstall + reinstall all ?
Or is there something else i can do ?

Try a fresh re-install if you're the only one having problems. Atleast that would be my suggestion.

He means uninstall the game and reinstall it.

ARRRRG...!
I have all uninstall (i even erase all the keys in the registry)
and reinstall
and it seems i still have the prob.

The gv_maptype of our cfg file is now setted at 5 (witch is tow i think)

Damn...
Any other idea ?

(i have some custom maps ammofactory - frag and rock - St renan bridge
v3 lab...Grabstatte...)
