Questions regarding campaigns on servers


(fragon) #1

Hello all,

I would appreciate it if I can get some help on campaign configurations. Our clan runs a server on preygrounds.com. We run etpro 3.01 and currently have a ten map campaign. My question is how many 10 map campaigns can I string together in the campaigncycle.cfg. Is there a limit in the game’s engine. I tried to string together 5 campaigns and after the 1st campaign the server just doesn’t work right anymore. It would get stuck on a map, change to another game mode, have no campaign map icons, or whatever. Here’s an example of what I tried.

set d1 " campaign *** ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
set d2 " " " d3"
set d3 " d4"
set d4 " d5"
set d5 " d1"

set d_initial “set g_gametype 4 ; map *** ; set nextcampaign vstr d1”
vstr d_initial

In the pk3 file I would have five different map rotations inside their respective brackets { } with their campaign name, shortname, maps, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

That should work. However, there is a limit of about 100MBs
worth of PK3s before the server will get flaky. So, unless you
are reusing a lot of maps it is likely you are over that limit
and thus the server acts weird. You can run an unpure server
to get around that problem I think, but that opens up a whole
new set of issues (mostly bad).
