Me and my clan recently set up a server.
Ive learned the basics and i got everything up and running.
Now my problem is getting new maps on the rotation.
Creating custom rotations and/or adding to rotations is easy.
BUT how do i get the actual map to load/install…
edit
some further details.
Running ET:Pub on a Objective cycle
arg, did that… still no go.
when we set ref, we cant even see the map in the rotation list
ill tell you what i did.
Upload pyramid.pk3 to ETmain.
Went to the cycle we use, added pyramid to the cycle.
Restarted
Now what… ive read about having the file on external servers, which i have just incase. And i know where to put the link.
so what am i missing… i cant see it in the map list when im a ref or anything.
First make sure you’ve restarted the server, as Iffy says, so ET knows the new pk3 is there. I’m assuming your server is stopwatch/objective. If so, a reason you may not see the map in the list is that you don’t have it in your own etmain (on your own PC).
If you added it to the cycle, it should be playing, assuming you have added the bsp name of the map to the cycle correctly.
You can only see maps in the ref list which you got installed on your pc. If the server has more maps then you got locally, you won’t see them.
So your saying what ive done is correct.
So i wont see it in the Ref list till ive downlaoded it.
So i have to play a cycle and have the map come up once and have it download.
makes sense, but whats the bsp name.
I put the name in the cycle that matches the .script map file.
The name of the map you need for your cycle or voting a map and the filename of the script can differ. Open the .arena file (it’s inside the pk3) with a text editor. You’ll find a line beginning with “map”. What you need for your cycle is the appendant value.
Alright, my arena file is
{
map “GreatPyramid”
longname “GreatPyramid_b1”
type "wolfmp wolfsw "
timelimit 30
axisRespawnTime 30
alliedRespawnTime 30
lmsbriefing “Test DESU.”
briefing "TEST DESU fuguai ha kotiramade http://www58.tok2.com/home/Lance/."
axiswintext “Yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa.”
alliedwintext “Yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa.”
mapposition_x 120
mapposition_y 950
}
And my map cycle is
set d1 “set g_gametype 2 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d2”
set d2 “set g_gametype 2 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3”
set d3 “set g_gametype 2 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4”
set d4 “set g_gametype 2 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d5”
set d5 “set g_gametype 2 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d6”
set d6 “set g_gametype 2 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d7”
set d7 “set g_gametype 2 ; map GreatPyramid ; set nextmap vstr d1”
vstr d1
And the server is set to Single map objective.
So i dont see why its not working >.<
Is the cycle running up to the map “GreatPyramid”? Can you change the map to “GreatPyramid” with rcon (“rcon map GreatPyramid”)?
ok got that to work.
And it loaded the map, but its only 5 k download.
I have it uploaded to an external ftp server. Can you tell me how to make it dl ther einstead. Ive read many server.cfg walkthroughs
i have
set sv_maxRate 25000
set sv_dl_maxRate 42000
set sv_allowDownload 1
set sv_wwwDownload 0
set sv_wwwBaseURL “”
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected 0
set sv_wwwFallbackURL “”
Now do i change wwwdownload to 1, and baseurl to the folder where i store map files? like www.elcclcan.co.uk/maps/?
Search this forum for “sv_wwwBaseURL” for example.
I have it uploaded to an external ftp server.
AFAIK the redirection only works with the http protocol. You must be able to download the map from this server like http://www.elcclcan.co.uk/maps/anymap.pk3 with your browser.
Make a folder on your ftp called ‘etmain’, it could be at http://www.elcclcan.co.uk/etmain for example. Then in your server cfg put these settings:
set sv_allowDownload “1”
set sv_wwwDownload “1”
set sv_wwwBaseURL “http://www.elcclcan.co.uk”
Don’t put a slash at the end of the url, and there’s no need to write the full url, ET will find the etmain folder itself.
ya i figured it out.
it looks in the base website, and whether it needs etpro, etmain or pub it can find the folder on its own. so i got it working and all is cool. Thanx guys!
I don’t think anything was wrong with his map cycle, just didn’t have the http forwarding working…
