Hello,

In the context of running a server, is it possible to have a specific mapcycle for each game mode?


I found this piece of support but it gives the info opposite to what I'm looking for (a gamemode per map, as opposed to a mapcycle per gamemode).

Thanks in advance,
Bad

Hey,

I'm looking for the opposite.

Your solution: How to set a particular gamemode per map, on one mapcycle file

What I want: How to have multiple different mapcycles, that are used depending on the gamemode.



Edit: This rotator plugin you talked about in that thread might solve it for me though. Thanks !

Hmm yes can be the rotator plugin, but I don't like use that, I prefer use different .cfg files.

There's a b3 plugin for that.

I haven't used it, but it looks like it's the one you need.

If you don't want to use b3, you can instead create an rcon command which changes the gametype and also changes the mapcycle.

The easy way to do this is by adding the following line to the bottom of the server.cfg file.

set ctfmode "set g_gametype 7; set g_mapcycle ctfcycle.txt; reload"

So let me break down how this works and then tell you how to use it.

So first, you are creating a command called "ctfmode" which you can call from in game to do what you want. So you will want to create a separate line for each game type with the specific settings you want for each game type.

The g_gametype sets what gametype will be set (obviously)

Next I set the new mapcycle file. This should be a new text file in your server's q3ut4 folder with the same name you use in the command above. So in this case you would add a new file called "ctfcycle.txt" and then add in the maps like usual.

Lastly, the reload command reloads the server with the new settings.

You could also replace

reload

with

map ut4_mapname

if you wanted to make the server switch to a specific map instead of just reload the current map.

So to call this command, all you need to do is open the console while you are on the server and use the command:

rcon exec ctfmode

Also, please note that your server needs to be restarted after adding that line to the server.cfg or you can run "rcon exec server.cfg" if you want.
---

One last note, Its been a while since I have created server commands like this. Its possible that if the above command doesn't work you will need to add rcon before each of the commands in the line above. So it would look like:

set ctfmode "rcon set g_gametype 7;rcon set g_mapcycle ctfcycle.txt;rcon reload"

Thanks a lot KroniK, I ended up going with your solution.
