When I start my server it starts on shazam33 only the game mode is a DM. Is there any way I could do like a +mode CTF or something like that in the target line so it will start as CTF instead?
EDIT: I am also thinking that it may be the map for some reason because I started the server with propaint1 and it did CTF just fine..
-
Propaint1 probably just has no DM mode set up.
But as for your question: There must be a variable that stores the default mode, and I'd like to know that one as well, as on MeMi Match the standard game mode is set to "1-flag". (it is a setting you can change in your menu, but whats the according variable?)
-
ctfmode "2" for 2flag mode
There's also a g_forcedgamemode in the newer version. Game modes are also controlled by the mapinfo files for maps that are in rotation. When you first start a server, though, ctfmode is what's used.
-
strange. both my servers say "ctfmode = 2"
yet it tries to load the maps in 1-flag mode first, and then according to the votes, then mapinfo file, I think. Of course only gamemodes from the mapinfo file would be used in that, if I'm right.
could you specify how g_forcedgamemode works, please?

That's my problem though, it starts as a DM instead of CTF (at least on shaz33).
-
b00nlander: it cycles through the modes in the mapinfo file. So if it played CTF mode last time, next time it will be 1-flag (unless people vote specifically for ctf mode).
g_forcedgamemode uses the text name: ctf, dm, 1flag, koth, pong, etc. It will only use that mode if the map supports it, though.
KiLo: just put "+set ctfmode 2" in the command line. That should fix it.

In the words of Borat: Very Nice! ;D
Thanks for the quick help.
