Basic Coop Server/Custom Map Cycle

[Dadeeo]

This is what I had to do to setup my rented server to play coop. Posting in case it could help someone...

In order to play any map cycle other than the built-in default pvp maps,
the switch "-MapCycle=MapCycle" must be added to the command line.

Also a text file containing the desired map names must created in /Insurgency/Config/Server having the same name as the name called in the command line. You may have to create the folder(s) path if needed.

Example;
Switch "-MapCycle=MapCycleCoop" would require the map cycle text file to be named "MapCycleCoop.txt".

The map cycle text file (MapCycleCoop.txt) would contain the names of the desired maps, each one on a separate line.

Example;
Scenario_Town_Checkpoint_Insurgents
Scenario_Town_Checkpoint_Security
Scenario_Farmhouse_Checkpoint_Insurgents
Scenario_Farmhouse_Checkpoint_Security
Scenario_Refinery_Checkpoint_Insurgents
Scenario_Refinery_Checkpoint_Security

My game.ini file is clean and simple.

[Rcon]
bEnabled=True
Password=password
ListenPort=27018
bAllowConsoleCommands=True

[/script/insurgency.insmultiplayermode]
InitialSupply=25

[/script/insurgency.inscoopmode]
bUseVehicleInsertion=True
MinimumEnemies=6
MaximumEnemies=22

This is the bare bones version just add any other parameters you want into the game.ini file....

BIG ups to SeeEmilyPlay for the help to figure this out!!!

Edited to update Oilfield to Refinery...

This is good. It's nice to see an example of a working setup sometimes, just to know whether you have it right or not.
I also have to extend a big ups to those who helped me to help you! They know who they are ;)

Did you delete from your command line Oilfield?Scenario=Scenario_Refinery_Push_Security?

I'd appreciate if you would post your Server Command Line parameters? (xx out password and server name)

Even if I don't hear back, this info was a HUGE help for us! Thx!

Thanks for this, Dadeeo and SeeEmilyPlay.

Can you confirm if this setup and .ini parameters allows for end of game voting on only co-op checkpoint maps?

[Dadeeo]

wepps, yes, vote options are checkpoint only. Or what ever you have in your mapcycle file...

No problem, my command line is:
Precinct?Scenario=Scenario_Precinct_Checkpoint_Security?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?RCONEnabled=true?RCONPort=27015?MaxPlayers=32?password="password" -MapCycle=Mapcycle -log -Rcon -RconListenPort=27015 -hostname="""server name"""

Thank you!

Got any ideas on how to get PVE working?

Dadeeo, I am also using a rented server but after 5 days, the Company and I are still unable to get a server password to work. Apologies for my ignorance but where are you entering the Command Line?

I really can't see what I am doing wrong.

If you are just renting slots (vs a VPS/VDS) then you likely won't have command-line access. You should have a place in your control GUI to specify a password. What that GUI looks like varies depending on the GSP. This is what it looks like at NFO:

Thanks Mamba. I was sure that was the case but I just wanted to check I wasn't going mad.

The company I am renting from have no clue why it isnt working and i'm getting pretty annoyed with them to be fair. I'm paying for a service they cannot fully provide and I seem to be the one running round trying to come up with fixes!

MapCycle=Mapcycle why is not even needed lol

Welcome. Tho' trying to run game servers CAN drive you mad. lol
I can highly recommend NFO, nfoservers.com , ....been with them buku years, very affordable and responsive.

[Nomad]

So true! I used to run an ARMA server and took me ages to get it how we wanted!

Thanks for the advice. If they don't come back with a fix something tomorrow, i'll take a look at NFO.

Cheers pal

NFO is mainly USA....they have a server location in Frankfurt....not sure if that will do you any good in the UK, but you can ask. Cheers mate.
