Server being wacky

[sk89q]

Nothing about the installation has changed over the past few weeks. Here is the command I used:

Code: [Select]

[kafserv@s1 ~/paintball2]$  ./paintball2 +set dedicated 1 +set public 1 +exec kaf/public1_server.cfg +map ub_rooftop

I'm not sure why it says it can't resolve either, because lynx http://www.dplogin.com works.

[sk89q]

If I execute the configuration file *after* starting the server, nothing goes wrong.

[y00tz]

Code: [Select]

[kafserv@s1 ~/paintball2]$  ./paintball2 +set dedicated 1 +set public 1 +exec kaf/public1_server.cfg +map ub_rooftop

Have you ever tried putting kaf/public1_server.cfg in quotes?  Everything seems to look normal...

[sk89q]

Now everything works again for no reason to my knowledge. =/ I think my friend did something with the server last night though, since it was restarted.

Normally, I have a shell script to start Paintball and set it into a different screen.

Code: [Select]

[kafserv@s1 ~/paintball2]$ cat start.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/kafserv/paintball2
screen -AdmS pball$1 ./run.sh $1
=/

===

EDIT: Nevermind. Public1 works but private2 does not. The only significant difference is the map list. Private2's rotation is large, but I haven't touched it recently.

Code: [Select]

Interesting.  I had a similar problem: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=10287.0

It happens after the server has been running for a while.  I wonder if it is somehow related to the number of maps in rotation.  I imagine over time more and more maps get voted onto the rotation until finally it breaks.  I'll have to experiment with large map lists to see if I can reproduce it consistently.

[XtremeBain]

Oh.... I missed this thread before.  Now my findings with the mapinfo bug make a lot more sense.

[m7feettall]

Sorry, new to all this, but if I understand correctly voting contributes to the map being put on the rotation list, not just one instance of it eventually being played?

[jitspoe]

Not sure what you're asking, but if a map is voted into the rotation, it will receive no auto-votes.  In other words, players will have to manually vote it to the top of the list before it gets played.  It won't cycle.

[XtremeBain]

I thought there was a way to prevent maps from being voted into the rotation.  I took a cruise through sk89q's site and couldn't find the cvar, so I don't think it exists.
