Custom Resurrection Campaign

(Gorrdy) #1

I am wanting to run Resurrection in a custom campaign i made for my server for Halloween. Heres my problem, i have made a working campaign with Ressurection running like number 7 after the stock maps,
I have made my server cfg exec the new campaign i made , and i know it does work because i can run it from ref. But everytime i start the server, it doesnt start my campaign, but one inside the Resurrection pk3 ( dam i hate campaigns inside maps )

I can get my campaign to run if i remove the campaigns out of the Resurrection pk3, but i dont really want to do that, because then eveyone who joins will have to DL the map even if they have it.
Anyway to get around this? Thanks :disgust:

If you’re running etpro, set b_campaignfile to the filename of your campaign.
Otherwise, try changing the shortname of your campaign.

Thanks Rain, i am not running etpro, but shrub instead. I changed the shortname and made sure all was being exec in server cfg but it still executes the campaign in the resurrection pk3. I know there are alot of maps out there with campaigns inside them, anyone get them to run in a custom campaign and not the included one???

Dam Nobody? I wish map makers would not put campaigns in the maps, would make life much easier. :banghead:

Did you change the name of the campaign you’re trying to load?

Yes i did, the first campaign name had a space in it, I thought possibly that was the issue, so i made a short name with no spaces and it still starts up a campagn thats in the map pk3.

Still having problems?
Let see the script and cfg

So are people getting maps that have campaigns inside them to work as a startup custom campaign?
I removed the campaigns inside the Resurrection map, and the server starts and runs my campaign perfectly. Problem is, i dont want everyone who already has the map to have to re download it because of this. :???:

Removed the z_files from the script folder in resurrection map.
I did make a campaign for nd80 and it worked fine.
Maybe thats your proble.

The z_files are the zombie skins, inwhich are used for the campaign.
But i still need to take a looked at the script to see if i can reproduce your problem.

As long as resurrection isn’t the first map of the campaign i would think it would be fine. Try putting it last in the campaign file. I had the same problem and when I put it as the last map in the campaign file it ran fine when restarting the server.
The z-files…(z_resurrectionskins) have nothing to do with this btw.

Sorry about the campaign file inside the pk3… when i did the map didn’t know about the forced download and the problems with it being executed at that time.

Works great now, I redid the campaign and put it as the last map, whamo works perfect. :banana:

Thanks all for the help everyone and thanks RivrStyx for awesome maps, obviously it shows how much i love Resurrection to go through all this troubleshooting to play it on our server. :drink:
