2 Questions
 

First I am new to operating a UT2004 server, We have ran MOH and CoD servers for years and I wanted to move to a game with a larger community base and pretty much a better game So I had the company I rent my server from move it over to UT2004. It is a new challange for me but it is well worth it.

First question is how to get my server from starting on CTF when the server is restarted. I would like it to default to either Onslaught or Assault.

Second question is I have noticed that lately when the server is empty and I jump in the game it will not let me enter as a player is just gives me the awaiting game play countdown and it is stuck on 3 so it never counts down. Is this because I am the only player and it needs more players?

I am running UTAN and Webadmin along with Xadmin. IS there settings I can change in WebAdmin or the server.ini to fix this?

You need to change the server startup command line, either through your service providers web gui (not ut2004 web admin), or possible submitting a ticket to get it changed.

Instead of something like
ucc server CTF-BridgeOfFate?game=XGame.xCTFGame ini=ut2004.ini
you need
ucc server ONS-Torlan?game=Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame ini=UT2004.ini


Your min net players maybe set at 2. Look in the UT2004 web gui
--> Defaults

--> server

Min. Net Players 1 (0 - 32) 100

or in the INI file

[UnrealGame.DeathMatch] <---if set to 2, then why you get stuck.
MinNetPlayers=1


[UnrealGame.UnrealMPGameInfo] <---for playing with a single bot
MinPlayers=2

Thank you very much for your help , I am submitting a support ticket right now and changing net players.
