can´t get Death Ball to work

[DocS]

Does anybody know the parameters or the command, to start the server in DB mode from the bash? I´ve tried ./ucc server DB-Cube.ut2 and it worked but within the game I can´t shoot the ball etc. there must be some more options :(. Thx for any help. Ah and do I need an entry like ServerPackages=DeathBall?

[RecKlessRat]

Yup you need to add it to server packages.....ServerPackages=Deathball
start a normal game and the select deathball as a gametype from the webadmin.
And dont forget to load a map rotation as well ;)

[DocS]

Hmm thank´2 so far :). I can switch to Deathball but there´s no map to switch to :(. Seems that he doesn´t find the maps :(. Is there no way to start it from the commandline? And how can I define a map rotation?

[RecKlessRat]

you have to go to the defaults part of the webadmin....and select it from the use maplist box put all the default deathball maps into the maps in cycle box........then you can go back to current game select deathball and a map...it will switch after that

[DocS]

Hm ok that works. But still I can´t play it. After picking up the ball I can´t fire it away also the radars are missing :(. Don´t know why.

[RecKlessRat]

Are you using the latest combination of retail patch and deathball version?
Deathball is at 1.3b now
There is a bug in deathball which prevents the ball from being fired sometimes...although you should be able to exit the server and rejoin to fix that.
The radar being missing is a new one on me.....i assume the files are all in the correct directories and you did the master MD5 update.

[DocS]

Hmm yes 2136 and 1.3b and all files in the right directories. Also ran the command ucc mastermd5 -r. But again isn´t working :(.

I had the same problem. I even ran an update using the -nohomedir switch. It found packages but it did not enable deathball to work. The game/map loads fine but quad jump is off, you can't pass or shoot and you can still dodge.

Now, I have TTM and Mapvote installed on the server. How about you DoCS? (My server is Linux)

[NapalmDawn]

I also have the Evolution web pack in there too. I saw a prior thread where the Ev pack may have caused issues. Docs, you got that installed.

[DocS]

TTM and MapVote yes, Evolution no, but still not working.
