Ok.. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but my map cycle still doesn't work half the time.. and I can't seem to pin point what the problem is.. it works sometimes on a fresh start but not always.. it works sometimes after the server crashes and auto restarts, but not always.. I haven't even changed the map cycle that came with the orginal 1.0 of the server.. my mp_timelimit is set to 30.. I am running 1.03 with clanmod on a linux system.. and btw for some reason my server crashes and restarts about 4 times a day now!! I don't know what's going on.. please someone help me!! Thanks..

I have mp_timelimit set to 30 and I would say 70% of the time it changes as it should. However a good 30% of the time it seems to double itself or something. It stays on the map for 2 and in one case 4 rounds before it changes. This isn't really all that big of a problem unless it gets "stuck" on hera. With the new changes and the new connection and the upgrades to my box I can handle bast fine now and I can handle about 2 rounds on hera, but after that hera begins to lag.
The mapcycle also freaks out if I do a manual map change and I have no idea why. If I get a request to change to eclipse and I honor it the next map SHOULD be hera, but sometimes it goes backwards to caged or bast or just seemingly picks a map at random like tanith. (my mapcycle is alphabetical). I don't know what's going on, but unless it stays on the same map for a ridiculous amount of time most of the players don't seem to mind, so *shrugs* I don't worry about it too much.
Clanmod used to have problems with map changing. I don't use clanmod so I don't know if that issue was ever resolved.
Serrin,
You might just be misunderstanding how mapcycle works. If your map rotation is:
ns_bast
ns_eclipse
ns_hera
Suppose you're playing bast and you decide to change the level to hera manually. If you type nextmap it will tell you bast because that is the next map after hera in the mapcycle.txt file. But the server remembers bast and when the map is over will change to eclipse.
