Server going back to vanilla every map change

Dysto · January 2014

So, exactly what my topic says. I don't understand why my server is reverting to vanilla. I have three mods installed currently, but the amount of mods or which ones does not matter. It always reverts...

I have the mod ids in the mapcycle, and in the command line. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Can you post your mapcycle.json pls? Maybe its just some syntax issue.

{
"time": 30,
"mode": "random",

And I lied, still not loading mods:

{
"time": 30,
"mods": [ "706d242,c883d45,c3ae4b0" ],
"time": 30,
"mode": "random",
"maps":
[
"ns2_summit",
"ns2_mineshaft",
"ns2_tram",
"ns2_veil",
"ns2_docking",
"ns2_eclispe"
]
}

Hi sry for late answer, but the syntax of your mapcycle is incorrect. You can check json syntax with http://jsonlint.com/ yourself in the future

Your mapcycle would be correctly this:

{
    "time": 30,
    "mods": [
        "706d242",
        "c883d45",
        "c3ae4b0"
    ],
    "mode": "random",
    "maps": [
        "ns2_summit",
        "ns2_mineshaft",
        "ns2_tram",
        "ns2_veil",
        "ns2_docking",
        "ns2_eclipse"
    ]
}

Also a little extra, look at my mapcycle (https://gist.github.com/BrightPaul/01a90412eff275ca39fa) and see how i added all the custom maps. By this way map mods get only loaded with the given map and not every time.

Thank you for the help!

Can you explain

By this way map mods get only loaded with the given map and not every time.

in a different way? I'm confusd on how this effects it? Just a fail-safe? Or does it improve performance?

Edit* Oh, I see, so you are saying not to put map mods in the "mods" section, only in the map rotation, right?

Exactly, it's just a better way to do it so your users only have to download the maps if they get really loaded by the server.

Makes sense, thanks again for the help.
