Anyway.... our group (known as the [1ST]) have rented a W@W server for 6 months to try and rekindle some interest in the older games. Currently most play ArmA 3 or the new COD WWII, the issue is only a few of us enjoy the freeze tag (Donald Duck, DrewP and myself). Donald and I are trying to set up the server but can't seem to figure it out. We have the "vanilla" game running properly but would like to put in custom maps, and game types. when we do this it looks like the maps is in the rotation but when we join it says something about server version is different? Would anyone be willing to assist us or give some pointers to fix this? Anyone/everyone is welcome to join our Teamspeak or whatever works the best. Thanks in advance.

What mod you running and what do you have for your command line? Something like this for example: +set fs_game mods/[mod name] +set dedicated 2 +set fs_localAppData "[directory of mod. example c:\servers\freezetag]" +set net_port 28960 +set net_ip [ip address] +set ui_maxclients [# of players] +set sv_maxclients [# of players] +exec [name of config].cfg +map_rotate +set rcon_password [goes here] +set sv_punkbuster [0 for off, 1 for on] Your exec config would direct to a specific config or is the config for setting up the custom map rotation. (ie. set sv_maprotation "gametype ftag map mp_agx_destroyed map mp_agx_eindhoven map mp_akushima ..." etc) @labob is our best cod5 guru here. He may have some better answers and solution for you.

Do you have a redirect setup ? And can you add your maprotation.cfg for me to have a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

How would we go about getting one? Sorry but Donald and myself are trying to do this and have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very slow speed can take up to 30 minutes to get some of the big maps. As well as your mod would be hosted there so your players get the files they need to join your server fast and easy.So you get a redirect there's one at the bottom of this post. just one there are hundreds. Not to much money as well . Its also more than likely the game server host your using has a redirect for you. And do not be sorry we were all where you were once. If you pm me with your ftp creds I can help you right in the server files instead of telling you here. That way I can find the problem and then let you know how to fix it. p.s. also need TS addy https://www.gameservers.com/redirect/ deerejon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
