Title: some server question
Post by: Spark on June 03, 2007, 11:43:39 PM

hi...
i am wondering if you can kick and talk to people, and change map using the shortcut to paint ball(server).. the balck screen that pops up?

Yes to all the above.

To talk type say <message>

To kick type status to get the player number and then kick <#>

To change map simply type map <name of map>

I think it's actually better to use newmap <name of map> instead of map, for some reason.

I didn't think newmap worked in the console.

Where else would newmap work?

Okay I just tried newmap in the console (the DOS box) and I get this:

Code: [Select]

[09:17:05] Unknown command "newmap"

And kilo was talking about the server window, too. My bad, I thought that was ingame and on dedicated servers. Guess not. :<

I believe you can use "sv newmap" at the console.  "newmap" is a client admin command, though.

yup.
"sv newmap" will work like "newmap" from within the game.
"map" will restart the server with a new map, I think.

"map" when typed in-game will start a new game for you..

= Hah I remember one day at school I had a server up and it was in-game and i just typed map <map name> and it took me to a new server and i sat in it for about 3 minutes wondering why it was taking so long for everyone else to get in it. Then I looked at my friends computer and they were playing on the other server i had up. Yes I felt stupid.....

That's why you should use newmap. ;)
