Enemy Territory Costum Campaign Error

(Born2Puke) #1

Hi to U All!!

First, let me start by saying what a wonderfull and addictive game ET is. You have really made one of the best games ever!!!
I counldn’t have posted here without paying u some homage!! Thank U very much for the game!!

Now that I’ve paid my tribute I’ll explain my problem:

I’m an ET server admin and I’ve been experiencing problems with a new campaign I’ve made. The former campaign (a 10 map campaign) was very good and functional, the palyers liked it and it was going all just fine. Later on, following players sugestions we’ve decided to substitute two maps. We’ve simply altered the former pk3, saved it under a new name, changed also the campaigncycle.cfg and exec’ed it. That’s where it goes sour: I don´t know what should be the big deal about this, it was a simple substitution, but something did go wrong: the map cycle was exec’ed all maps were beeing played without any problems. All seemed fine until the final map was played. Then something went wrong: the campaign would’nt reset!! The map just restarted when it was over, with players keeping their XP, and carrying it from the map’s end to map’s new begining!
It simply continued on and on in the same map! We’ve tried it all, checked and double checked the files, removed new maps, re-did the campaign pk3 and the campaign cycle and nothing would work! Whatever the final map would be, it would continue to happen…
Here are my txt files, hope you can tell me whats wrong!!

Pk3 campaign txt:

Theres a search function and you can use

could the problem have anything to do with:
[11.01.2004 01:29:31] Security Discrepancy between existing and new data
??

If so, how can I correct it?

(Born2Puke) #4

ok, I’ve gone through most of the threads about campaigns and I still don’t know what’s wrong!
I have already tried a lot of stuff, I even tried to remove the new maps, but it simply freezes on the last map!! It does’nt restart the campaign!!

Can anyone at all help me?

This is from what I can see only the punkbuster log and the security thing is a punkbuster issue, you don’t happen to have the actual server logs as well maybe ?

(Jaquboss) #8

I don´t know but maybe it´s problem becasue of campaign lenght , I´ve tried to do 15maps campaign and it never worked…

(Nail) #9

That works but password2_12 arena file has an error. Hope it doesn’t crashed the server .
But, go and test it out.
There’s nothing wrong with your cfg file. You just had acouple mistakes in the campaign file.
