Server directory
« on: February 10, 2006, 02:09:45 AM »
Can we change the map directory for a server.
For example : Server1 > pball/map
                    Server2 > pball/map2 or pball/map/other

I think you can change the "map"-directory in your server.cfg ?!

How do you acces to the server?

You could just make a copy of your whole paintball2 directory, put different maps in it, and run the server out of that.  Why do you want to have a different maps directory?

Common map?  Two different maps with the same filename?  Or 2 different servers pointing to the same map directory?

I dunno if you can do this in a maplist, but if you have a file in a map in a different directory you can do 'map ../../../blahblah/mapname' -- you just have to keep track of how many directories you want to go up... 3 ../ will put you in the same directory your paintball folder is initially located.

like i said, i dunno how this works for maplists, but maybe try putting in '../../../commonmaps/castle1' in your maplist instead of just 'castle1'

The problem is, it will try to load ../../../commonmaps/castle1 on the client, too, which the client won't have.  Also, if you have 2 different map directories with the same map name, it will cause conflicts on the client as well -- the client will have only 1 version of the map and it may be the wrong one.  That's why I'm trying to figure out what, exactly, Freud is trying to do.
