Server starting in firefight by default

[ozzy]

Hi Guys,

I have rented a new linux Insurgency server from gameservers.com

Everytime the server starts, it starts in firefight mode

The server command line is:

./wrapper.sh -game insurgency +maxplayers 8 -console -ip @SERVERIP -port @SERVERPORT +map "siege vip" +exec server.cfg

Am I missing something here? The siege map loads, but it still says firefight. From what I've read from others they just need to put "siege vip"

mapcycle.txt is

market ambush
station ambush
tell ambush
contact ambush

Should this say ambush or vip?

Thanks :)

ambush :)

firefight is default mode for many maps when it does not get a known mode :)

Thanks frombehind

I changed the server command line to

./wrapper.sh -game insurgency +maxplayers 8 -console -ip @SERVERIP -port @SERVERPORT +map "siege ambush" +exec server.cfg

and also tried

./wrapper.sh -game insurgency +maxplayers 8 -console -ip @SERVERIP -port @SERVERPORT +map "siege ambush" +exec server.cfg

and it's still starting in firefight. Restarted server after each change.

Just in case anyone else sees this it's fixed.

I raised the issue with the host, and I don't know everything they did but they did run some updates, so I suspect that might have fixed the issue.

OK, after host fixed it, I made a change to the mapcycle.txt then restarted server and it went back to firefight. I then reverted back to the original mapcycle.txt and ensured they also support ambush mode and it still starts with firefight.

I have since done the following:

added mapcyclefile "mapcycle_vip.txt" to the server.cfg

Created mapcycle_vip.txt with the following:

market vip
station vip
tell vip
contact vip

Command line:

./wrapper.sh -game insurgency +maxplayers 8 -console -ip @SERVERIP -port @SERVERPORT +map siege vip +exec server.cfg

On the command line I've tried with and without quotes and I've tried both vip and ambush. Likewise, in the mapcycle_vip.txt I've tried both vip and ambush after the map name and confirmed those map names have ambush mode (i.e., checking market.txt in the maps folder etc).

PLEASE HELP!

have you tried making a custom playlist, with only the map/modes you want in it and its own mapcycle and starting the playlist in the command line?

Can you please explain the custom playlist? Isn't that what the mapcycle is?

Nevermind, I've given up and just decided to use checkpoint anyway! LOL
