[Solved] Load rotation based on g_gametype?
15. August 2013 - 21:00
Is it possible to make the server load different rotations based on what gametype is set?
Like "g_gametype 0" loads rotation0.txt "g_gametype 1" load rotation1.txt etc.
I have tried, but am failing miserably at scripting I am afraid... 
BTW. Nice to meet you all 
I discovered this great mod just recently and am trying to set up a private server for my friends to play.

Re: Load rotation based on g_gametype?
yes, just edit callvote.txt:
gametype, g_gametype { 1 { // don't let them vote for the current gametype if ( $g_gametype != GT_FFA ) { ffa, deathmatch, 0 { // client might have used one of the alternatives like "ffa" // explicit use the number "0" instead of the variable "$" command = "set g_gametype 0; xp_rotation rotation0.txt"; } } // just the same for all other gametypes if ( $g_gametype != GT_DUEL ) { duel, tourney, tournament, 1 { command = "set g_gametype 1; xp_rotation rotation1.txt";

I was hoping to be able to just start a server by using setting g_gamestyle and it loads the corresponding rotation file.
I have tried reading trough the docs and trying myself, but I suck at scripting and was hoping for someone to help me out.
I gave you an example...
and why bad callvote? any cause... else callvote.txt have commands for REF, You can make it there

if ( g_gametype == 3 ) { // TDM timelimit: 15 fraglimit: 200 capturelimit: 0 q3dm7 q3dm11 q3dm12 } else if ( g_gametype == 4 ) { // CTF timelimit: 15 fraglimit: 0 capturelimit: 10 q3ctf1 q3ctf2 q3ctf3 } else if ( g_gametype == 8 ) { // FREEZE timelimit: 15 fraglimit: 0 capturelimit: 0 q3dm11 overkill q3dm12 }

Re: Load rotation based on g_gametype?
After reading up on the syntax I came up with almost exactly that code myself.
But it will not start the rotation. It only loads the big box and not the maps on the list, no matter which g_gametype is set.

Make sure syntax is correct and no maps are missing,
Rotation should contain *.bsp names not *.pk3 names.

Re: Load rotation based on g_gametype?
I just copied the script cml wrote above and added DM to the list to see if it works, but it is only loading the big box. The rotation never start.
Here is the code:
if ( g_gametype == 3 ) { // TDM
timelimit: 15
fraglimit: 200
capturelimit: 0
q3dm7
q3dm11
q3dm12
} else if ( g_gametype == 4 ) { // CTF
timelimit: 15
fraglimit: 0
capturelimit: 10
q3ctf1
q3ctf2
q3ctf3
} else if ( g_gametype == 8 ) { // FREEZE
timelimit: 15
fraglimit: 0
capturelimit: 0
q3dm11
overkill
q3dm12
} else if ( g_gametype == 0 ) { // DM
timelimit: 10
fraglimit: 30
capturelimit: 0
q3dm1
q3dm2
q3dm3
}Can somebody see what is wrong here?
I do not want to use callvote.txt because I want to be able to start the server (from cron in Ubuntu) with "+set g_gametype 4" and have it load the rotation for CTF or "+set g_gametype 8" and have it run the rotation for Freezetag.

Re: Load rotation based on g_gametype?
It may be stupid question but did you uploaded maps to root?

Re: Load rotation based on g_gametype?
What do you mean "uploaded maps to root"?
The maps are located in the usual baseq3 directory in the .pk3 files. No troubles with permissions or ownership in Linux, if that is what you are asking.
The
maps all load as they should if I just put them in the rotation without
any conditions or by loading them manually so something must be off
with the syntax. I can not see what it is though.
