Anyway to force dm rather than team dm?
« on: May 13, 2009, 11:38:37 PM »
I am not that familiar with the team dm game mode.

Is there anyway within an .ent file to specify only normal dm mode rather than team dm mode for each time a server runs the map?

Thanks for any help.

Since TDM was implemented after many DM maps were already created, I just made any DM map support both modes.  I'm not sure that there's a way to make a map DM exclusive.

ie.....it cycles?

Wow. That sucks. So essentially this new mode hi-jacks every existing dm map.

couldnt you specify only DM in the mapinfo file?

That is the problem. There is no specific number for single dm rather than team dm.

I guess the question is, when you start manually a map in the loopback you can pick between dm and team dm...so there must be some mechanism. But is there anyway to mimic that on a server rotation is the question.

Why does that have an impact on the mapinfo?

I've tweaked the mapinfo parsing to support TDM on DM maps, but it won't default to it (alternate between TDM and DM) unless it's explicitly put in the mapinfo file.
