I finally met someone in my server to ask some questions and do some testing and realized for 1 that although everything says friendly fire is on, it didn't work when we were on the same team - couldn't kill each other. Another thing, once the round ended, it would just restart with the same map, instead of cycling - tried to rcon mapcycle <file>, rcon restart, rcon mapcycle, but still the same. Using the rcon mapcycle command would cause it to cycle to the next map on the mapcycle file but it won't do it automatically.

Something else, a player voted for a map outside of my mapcycle. We went there but I couldn't cap the flag. I would run around my flag base and get nothing, his worked fine. WTF? is that?

And what does changing the warmup to COUNTDOWN do? and what is the disco command? Some player asked me to enter it to make my colors all weird, didn't trust it so I didn't.


Thanks ahead of time!!

Oh yeah my setup:

Using SoF2Runner, OSP 0.3P
Accessing the game from another PC behind the same router.

friendly fire: im assuming that when you tried it you only had 2 people in the server... and on the same team? if so, the game wasnt actually in play.. it would have been in a sort of warmup/waiting mode.. for the game to begin, you need 1 red player and 1 blue player.

the map cycle issue, i cant say muich without seeing your configs... perhaps paste them (both the server config and map cycle) here .. removing any passwords of course...
but it could be a spelling mistake or a missing braket or something, check the error printout on the server console.. if your running a redicated server that is...

as for the voted map... what map? is it even a CTF map?

i dont know what you mean by changing warmup to countdown so someone else can explain that.

disco is short for 'disconnect'... which does just that.. disconnects you. its sort of a n00b tester

hope that helps a little

mp_barn is a DM and TDM map only. it has no CTF functions... so.. even if you tell the game to play CTF on barn, it will ignore you and revert back to the defult DM? style.

i still dont know what that countdown thing is, but that wasnt your problem, as said above

i cant see anything wrong with yoiur mapcycle... it looks like it should work... sorry i cant help more on that.

That's what I thought. Wonder if this player did something to modify how my server ran? We went into mp_barn as CTF, his capping of the flag worked, mine didn't.


Thanks anyway for the help, I appreciate it. Guess I'll see what happens the next time someone joins, and see if it cycles.

Anyone interested in helping pls drop by my server: 192.168.0.101:20100

I'd like to see how it runs with more players on it too. Pls don't biscuit eater too much about lag, I'm looking into upgrading the memory...

Thks! Maybe spike or someone can advise me on the mapcycling and this mp_barn thing...

that IP you gave is your internal network IP. no one can join it.

also.. with the mapcycle... i just had a thought... if there were only 2 players in the server and on the same team, the server wouldnt cycle.. once again cause the server wouldnt have actually started the match.
try doing an /rcon map_cycle
if it works, your map cycle it should work.

A small point, but mp_barn is elimination only...I happen to run it in my cycle so I should know

EDIT: But, I just happened to see that you were running OSP.  OSP includes CTF in mp_barn as one of their alternate map configurations.  There's a good chance that if you switch to barn while running OSP it will go ahead and load the alternate map style automatically.  If you want, you could force it to make sure that it is using it by adding the g_alternateMap 1/0 cvar to your mapcycle.

a smaller point, your wrong
mp_barn 'Barn Storm'               DM TDM ELIM - - -            

thats from the "readme" file for 1.03gold patch... so... i dont care if your running it in your mapcycle.. but lets not get picky

to fix map not cycling set:
match_fastRestart 0

lmfao disco for lights and shiz rofl, and also recon for a reconnasaince map lmfao, o and if u type Q u get a Q-hook like in james bond, to reach all the had to reach parts in maps lmao (recon is reonnect, q is quit the game \close it)

Arkhos,

Thats an older version of SOF2 Runner I would highly recommend your updating to the latest version at www.gamerunners.com
