Mapping server

[Freddo]

Hello Guys,

I have been trying for the last 2 hour trying to get a mapping server up and running so that I can coop with an Aussie server.

I have been unsuccessful in getting this set-up.

I have the switch -Pe on it.
I have placed a blank map on the server and in my own maps to try and load it.

I have checked to make sure I can vote for other maps.

I have even tried to just load a custom map into coop mode but that doesn't seem to work.

I get the error coop is not allowed, I have double checked and triple checked my .sh file that -Pe is in the command line and also on the maprot allows you to vote other maps.
I have ensured my server command lines file doesn't have an alternate -P switches.

can anyone tell me what else I might be doing wrong or if you need any more information please let me know and I'll check it out and provide it.

the blank map is just a /newmap 7

You say you've put -Pe in the .sh file. Is it possible that you're loading an alternative configuration, via the -Cconfig/servercmdline.txt switch, too? If you have -PE in servercmdline.txt, I guess it would overwrite anything in the .sh launcher.

I tried both with admin and without admin.

and in the servercmdline.cfg file I have not set the -P i have set it in the individual .sh files

...but are you using -C in the .sh at all? -PE is the default, so as soon as you put -Cconfig/servercmdline.txt in the .sh, you will have -PE.

jamz if you have seen how pwnage sets his servers up thats how I have set mine up.

there is the main server.sh file in the directory.

Then I have my seperate server .sh files pointing to the server.sh file.

in this .sh file which I have called robotics.sh I have setup -Pe and a all of the other switches have been advised in there.
The server.sh has -C which was a link to the central servercmdline.txt file which has the common command switches.

in here there is no -P at all it is all in the robotics.sh or the other server_files.sh files

However to see if this was the issue I created a seperate servercmdline.txt file to test this.

I placed in here the -Pe switch launched the server while its pointing to this new servercmdline.txt

how ever when I launch the server, I connect I try to load a newmap into coop I try to load a already custom map that is already on the server into coop (tried a few different ones) it still comes up with coop mode is an invalid vote.

Could it be anything else?

It looks like the only thing to try now is do it entirely without servercmdline.txt. I read through and it didn't sound like you tried that yet, but I could be wrong.

Sorry, you're absolutely right, I hadn't read properly what you typed and I'm an idiot. The error message you're seeing is nothing to do with admin/normal user rights.
Is the map you're trying to edit in servermaps? AFAIK you can't co-op edit maps that are present in this folder, only if they're in servermaps/incoming.

offline:
/newmap 7
/savemap coop

online:
/sendmap coop
/coop coop

Does that work?

[Freddo]

Okay I will try this once I am back at my computer,
And it could be that, I didn't put it in the incoming folder its sitting in the servermaps folder.


EDIT: Dam phone auto correction

I just asked my brother to connect to my server and try a few commands from what I could see (because he didn't know how to move the skype view screen) it worked.

So placing the map in the incoming folder worked,
Yay I don't have to have extra files just for another server.

I'll fully test it when I get home.

Thank You everyone for helping.

Have fun
