Maps Not Cycling

SuicideDog · November 2002

Is it just me or do the maps not cycle unless you have the timelimit set above 30 mins in the 1.02 patch?

Mellonpopr · November 2002

several of us have the same problem. I had mine set to 10 which worked fine for 1.01 but did nothing with 1.02. I believe prodigy (#nsserver) told me that he had good luck with 30.

I tried it and mp_timelimit 30 did the trick for me. I haven't experimented to find out what the minimum number can be.

Anyone ??

Works fine for me... although it may be Halfd doing all the work (I have my timelimit at 15 still)

I noticed the same thing, although it seems like it's only on certain maps. One map will change after the round when the timlimit's reached, another will go on for 2 or 3 rounds, like the map is overriding it somehow

Hi,

I noticed that if the server is pushing more data then it can it will crash and restart with that same map(instead of the starting map). even when a server is set to a maxrate of 8000 and a networkrate of 1500 so, you never get a map change. Just my observation but something to check on. By the way my timelimt is 20min.

Thanks

ps. eliminate all the extra wording in the mapcycle.txt and just have the maps listed like hlcs. ie..

ns_bast
ns_eclipse
ns_hera
ns_nancy
ns_nothing
ns_tanith
ns_caged

List them as above and check your logs for crashes. I was running a 32 player server then a 24 man server and it was never cycling maps. So, I watched it via the "screen" in linux and the server would crash after about 1 hour and start with the same map. Not the starting map.

I'm sure my server isn't restarting.. I have admins on all day.. they would have let me know.. and I didn't see anything in the logs.. I have my stuff set to the samethings as Hukka.. so I don't think that's the problem

You got halfd to work with NS? I hacked mine up for a while but couldnt make it work. Got any tips?

I just ran the Halfd install script and it set up everything beautifullly (it was my first time using Halfd). Then edited the config file like Hukka posted in one of his old threads and started it up... no problems at all.

still not working.. the server isn't crashing.. and is seem to get stuck.. where it goes to load the map when the time is up .. but just loads the same map!! PLEASE HELP.. I have to constantly check the server for new rounds and ask if they want a new map!!

edit:

I have copied the mapcycle.txt from the orginal install.. made mp_timelimit 30 in the server.cfg.. restarted numerous times.. still to no avail!.. GRRR!!

edit more:

I noticed when I load the server it starts with the map I specifiy.. and it will auto switch to the first map in the list (caged) but then it just keeps reloading that map.

Some tips for you:

1. Reboot your server computer
2. Reinstall NS 1.02 patch
3. rcon mapcyclefile mapcycle.txt and rcon mp_mapcycle 1 or was it sv_mapcycle 1

Let me know if it isn't help you.

Hukka.. tried all the stuff you said to try.. still not working.. well it sporadic.. anyway.. hopefully 1.03 will fix my problems.
