Autobalance command?

[SnooD]

I didn't want to have to do this but, I can't seem to figure out the autobalance command and it's starting to get under my skin. I've tried numerous variations of the command from what I think it might be but I'm just not getting it. Also the forcejoining command isn't working in game but it could be because the autobalance is on too. Anyway here is my server config. Help would be much appreciated, thanks.
PS: I did take out what was underneath the "Match" section because I was reading a different forum and someone said it might help.

You can delete everything after the first rcon_password "" in the config file. That are the same settings like above.


For the autobalance, you have to add this:

set g_autobalance 0
0 = no autobalance
1 = autobalance
2 = autobalance and don't allow team changes


The forcejoin command works for me, but sometimes the game switches the player back to the old team (immediately). So it may look like it doesn't work, but you should see the team change message in the console.


Some other things, i would add to a match server:

set sv_login 2
0 = no logins required
1 = require logins for registered names
2 = require logins for all players

set g_autorecord 1
0 = no automatic demo recording
1 = forces demo recording on clients
2 = forces demo recording on clients, when the server is passworded

set g_autorecord_prefix "snood_match1_"
Prefix, that replaces the text "auto_" in front of a demo filename. Use it to find the demos of your server easier.

Thanks t3rr0r15t but it's still not working for me, maybe I put these commands in the wrong place? I put them under general settings in the myserver.cfg and in the matchmode.cfg too. Whenever I go to join blue, it says invalid team. If I forcejoin someone blue they come red...I'm so confused....this really shouldn't be this complicated.

I even executed the matchmode.cfg and it keeps saying unkown command "0"
unknown command "1"
unkown command "0"
 etc.

pretty much all the variables that you just gave me.

When I remove this:


set g_autobalance 0
0 = no autobalance
1 = autobalance
2 = autobalance and don't allow team changes

then I can join the blue team, but the autobalance is still on...

[SuperMAn]

The command is set g_autobalance #

You have to replace # with either 0, 1, or 2.  He was just explaining what each setting does.

[T3RR0R15T]

Yes, try this only:

set g_autobalance 0
set sv_login 2
set g_autorecord 1
set g_autorecord_prefix "snood_match1_"


Normally you never need to execute the matchmode.cfg on a match-only server. All settings from the normal config should work fine. Where you put the commands in the config file doesn't matter. Change the config, upload and exec it. Thats all.

Oh, haha I see. Well thanks so much guys I'll give it a try, I'm sure it will work.
