Map by default when the server is empty?

[sentenza]

How to define a map by default when the server is empty?

I searched here and I found nothing!

IIRC, it should be the first line (map/mode) in your maprot.cfg that allows 1 person. The server won't have a set map/mode until at least one person to enter.

Would you have an example of this first line because I deleted it

This is the default contents of maprot.cfg:

Code:

// Server Side Maprotations... // WARNING: You can NOT use CubeScript in here!! // Use the following scheme... // map:mode:time:allowVote[:minplayer[:maxplayer[:skiplines]]] // map will be skipped, if minplayer/maxplayer requirements are failed // map: map filename without extension // do only use standard maps and maps from your packages/maps/servermaps folder // for the flag modes (5, 14 & 15), be sure, the map contains flag bases // mode: Team Deathmatch (0), Deathmatch (2), Pistol Frenzy (6), // Capture the Flag (5), Hunt the Flag (13), Keep the Flag (15), Team Keep the Flag (14), // Team Survivor (4), Survivor (3), Last Swiss Standing (9), // One Shot One Kill (10), Team One Shot One Kill (11) // time: game time in minutes, usually 15 minutes for flag modes, 10 minutes for all other modes // vote: (1) allow players to vote for other maps // (0) only admin can change the map // minplayer: if set, the server will skip the map, if fewer than required players are connected // maxplayer: if set, the server will skip the map, if more than allowed players are connected // skiplines: lines to skip in maprot.cfg, after this map got actually played // this can be used to select one of several lines, instead of playing all lines // minplayer and maxplayer numbers are only checked when a new game is picked from the map rotation. // If the player number changes during gameplay,

packages/maps/servermaps folder!

The first line in this case that allows 1 player is:

Code:

ac_scaffold : 2: 8: 1: 0: 3: 1 // dm, 8 minutes, 0..3 players

So this should always be the first map/mode combination that a person will see upon entering the server.

Thank you I understand, it's great

Glad I could help :)

This isn't quite true. The maprot keeps going when the server empties. This means if there are two or more entries which accomodate for 0 or 1 player/s, the next one in the list will load on the next player join. In your example of the default maprot.cfg, if all players left the ac_scaffold game, the next maprot entry to apply would be this one:

Code:

ac_desert : 2: 8: 1: 0: 4: 1 // dm, 8 minutes, 0..4 players

If you want only one map to be the 'join' map, make sure it's the only maprot entry for 0 or 1 player/s.
