Campaign Problem

(Dragg) #1

I have a problem with a custom campaign. At first I could not get it to work, but found a helpful link Herethat fixed the problem (I thought). Turns out I have a bigger problem and have just finished searching this site for 2 hours, without finding the solution.

I was first trying to get a custom campaign working for a new map nite we run once a week,and did. Then I needed to make a change in the description displayed in the current campaign file, which we have used for almost a 8 months. Now when I load the normal campaign, the reload bar on the client keeps repeating and never gets into the game. The server side (Linux) looks like it loads fine. Help! All I did was change one word in the description line, then saved it and re-made a new pks file (called it the same name), never touched the campaigncycle.cfg or server.cfg files.

I have also had the same problem when making the custom map campaign. I start the server with the normal capaign, the load the new custom campaign in rcon, it starts to load, then the loading bar just keeps looping and repeating. Any ideas?

usually the loop-loading thing is caused by a missing file. Make triple sure that the .pk3’s for ALL maps needed are in ETMAIN, and ON THE WEB SERVER if you use http redirect. Also make sure the custom campaign .pk3 is in ETMAIN and on web server.

Thanks, yes the pk3 maps where in the folder. The issue has been fixed, :clap: turned out when I moved all the custom maps (12) that are not being used out of the etmain folder and only left the maps needed to run the configs we have, works no problem.

Just some food for thought if others test a lot of maps on the server but never acctually put them in a config, move them to a different folder if not being used. Also on of these maps could have had some kinda bug which casued an issue.
