map rotation issues

[x-drex]

Anyone seem to have a issue where the maprotations doesn't seem to use all your maps? For some reason my seems to only rotate about 10 or 12 maps then starts over even tho i have 30 or so maps in the rotation.


Also, How do you make map lists?

In the web admin you have Use Map List Option how do you make more lists under there. I would like to set up map lists for like, anti grav maps/ large scale maps and 4 people and under maps.

Thanx

I am looking for the same information about map lists. If you find any info, please post it.

Take a look at Xmaps:

It takes a while to get into, but it's very powerful. I use it to maintain a list for the normal map rotation, then switch to a list of maps we want to test, then switch to an excessive setup, etc. For each list you can specify whether to run the maps in a specific order, randomly, or even picking from more than one list.

Which version do I get, The UMOD or the non umod...I am not sure what a umod is?

[PurplePants]

Non-UMOD. The UMOD version you double-click and it installs automatically, which sounds kewl but won't do you any favours when it comes to getting your GISP to load the stuff up. The non-UMOD version you have to install manually, but for that you get instructions and end up knowing exactly what's been changed. Your GISP will appreciate knowing the details of how their server has been messed about :)

you might check each map by loading one by one and see if there are any errors.
Like missing textures, music, sound or system files.
Xmaps is a very good mod with web admin that allowy you to many things including switching maps in the middle of a game via a hud menu.
If you dont have this get it. It works sweet. you don't even have to have the mutator running all the time. Just when you are troubleshooting new maps or mods.

My server will not use the skyline map. I have not the first clue why, as all of the .ini files look to be correct.

Also, does anyone know where I can get a map pack. I played on a server the other day that had a 'deck 16' map on it. I would like to get this running on my server as well.

[wingnut]

I thought Deck 16 came with he game?? I deleted it a long time ago.
You can join a server with deck 16 and wala...you have the map. get it out of your cache dir.

That Cache trick was pretty cool. I did not think about that right off the bat. Here is another question for anyone out there. How do I set up a redirect? I want to run custom maps on my server, but I do not to eat up all of my BW with folks downloading giant map files. I am running this server off of one of my home PC's where can I point it for a redirect? does anone know?

Try looking into the How-Tos & Tutorials. All will be revealed there!


:D

[wingnut]

yea, look into the tutorials then point the redirect to ucc.sobservers.com
you can even email the compressed files with a request to add them to the server. They are pretty cool about that. Look at the readme's on the server for more info.
They might even have the files you are looking for. There are some very good maps hosted there.
