Hello!

 

I have a server with these new maps: invasion, contingency and oilrig, and a playlists.info file with all maps on war, dom and dd gametype, but these combinations don't work

 

contingency,hc_dom,2

contingency,hc_dd,2

 

the rest (28 hc_tdm, 27 hc_dd and 27 hc_dom) work perfectly (contingency,hc_tdm,3) works perfectly too.

 

I installed the original game and replaced the iw_22 and iw_23 from http://4d1.weloveaiw.com because I had an error on the md5 checksum, the rest is right (I added the DLC maps too).

 

these are some lines from the console log

 

to dd

I created a playlist.info with only these 2 maps in these 2 gametypes (just to see what happen) but the server rotate the map constantly (none of them work)

 

here the complete console_mp.log http://pastebin.com/Vn3mxbaw

 

Thanks a lot!!!

hmm that's odd I guess its reading from m2demo\mp\basemaps.arena. Lets try this..

open basemaps.arena with notepad

hit ctrl+F and type in contingency (line 375)

 

now replace this

{
map			"contingency"
longname	"Contingency"
gametype	"dm war"
   description "LoserSM fuckin rules!"
   mapimage    "preview_mp_contingency"
mapoverlay  "compass_overlay_map_blank"
   allieschar  "seals_udt"
   axischar    "opforce_arctic"
   environment	"urban"
}

 

to this

 

{
map			"contingency"
longname	"Contingency"
gametype	"dm war sab sab2 dom sd sd2 hc thc ctf koth dd oneflag gtnw"
   description "LoserSM fuckin rules!"
   mapimage    "preview_mp_contingency"
mapoverlay  "compass_overlay_map_blank"
   allieschar  "seals_udt"
   axischar    "opforce_arctic"
   environment	"urban"
}

 

Let me know if it works. only thing I add is more gametypes

The same happened. I tested it with so_ghillies and gulag and I got the same problem with these 3 maps

 

I think is not needed to write dd in basemaps.arena, check this, my basemaps.arena for burguertown is

 

{
map			"invasion"
longname	"Burger Town"
gametype	"dm war dom ctf"
   description ""
   mapimage    "preview_invasion"
mapoverlay  "compass_overlay_map_blank"
   allieschar  "us_army"
   axischar    "opforce_composite"
   environment	"urban"
}

 

however dd gametype works perfectly on this map (also war and dom, but "dd" isn't on gametype line)

 

 

 

The console_mp.log for contingency, doing what you told me, has the same errors, but the console_mp.log for gulag and so_ghillies is different

 

so_ghillies

on the other hand, even though oilrig works perfectly with war, dd and dom, gives the same error as gulag, contingency and so_ghillies

so I think it isn't the problem.

 

________________________________________________________________________

 

I think the problem has to do with respawn points for dd and dom in contingency, gulag and so_ghillies on the .ents files for these maps, oilrig and invasion have many respawn points for these 3 gametypes, but the other maps don't have any, only for war and dm

 

talking about it.... why gulag has that horrible respawn for war? the map is enormous but all players respawn on the same place (not exactly but...)

 

I hope this help and I have a solution.

 

Thanks!!!

Hmm weird. Anyways thanks for reporting!

Hmm this ain't an error. I and Opferklopfer made all gametypes, but xetal wanted me somehow to release a TDM/FFA version only.

why? it is already done

xetal wanted me somehow to release a TDM/FFA version only.

So I guess all of the ported maps are TDM/FFA only? I didn't know since I barely play other gametypes..

Yes, at least invasion.ff, oirlig has all afaik.

Ok.. well that explains everything..
