hi,

i have 2 problems with my dedicated server.

1. i have setup my bots with some old q3 configґs. the bots joining the server and fight as normal. so far so good. my problem is the command:

bot_nochat

it doesnґt work. i set it to "1" but the bot spamming goes on. is the a new variable?

2. my mapcycle doesnґt work. first i set up fraglimit "0", timelimit "20" and g_autoMapCycle "1". after the 20 minutes bots fighting so server print something like "exit: timelimit reached" and give the server stats. the server doesnґt load a new map. then i have changed g_autoMapCycle to "0" an edit my server.cfg like this:

set d1 "set gametype 0; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set gametype 5; map ffa_bespin ; set nextmap vstr d3"
.... and so on

vstr d1

but the same: message, stats but no mapchange. what did i wrong?

thx for helping

Well, the gametype variable is g_gametype for one. I'm not 100% sure that is your problem though. Could you paste your actual config? Sometimes there's an easily overlooked typo in there that causes these problems.

my server.cfg

// start map
vstr d1


my server start file

./jk2ded +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg

i notice if no real people are playing, the map doesnt change. Anyone else notice that?

I see you are mixing ffa and duel maps. With a fraglimit of 0, I belive the duels would never end since the fraglimit represents how many times one player must frag the other before players are switched. Is there a particular map where the problem occurs? You might try switching to ffa only maps for a bit.

@ striderx2048

thank you, nobody give me that hint.

ok. the map doesnґt change when only bots are on the server. how can i fix this? is there a possible way?

As strange as it sounds, why is having the map keep rotating when nobody is playing important? When people show up and play a short bit, it'll rotate.

for the whole purpose of simulating a server. that and well, IT SHOULD. Another thing, the server should NOT have wait until everyone click ready, after a short period of time, the map should automatically change, ie. like counter-strike.
