I suppose that explains a lot in-game.

Map rotation of the day for beta 9. None of them crashed on me. Please give feedback on which ones are likely not going to work well on a 30-player ftag server so I can add a notation to the list. Some may work well but spawnpoints may be bad for one side of the other. Too big or small. Wider open maps, good for assault or sniping are ok. They cant all be village maps, Stuff like that.Thx.

He denied himself?

"The Force will be strong in this one...."

That hurts just looking at it. But I guess its true what one of Richard Nixons cronies said. When you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.

Im sure you do. Kind of a big device to store tho when you are not using it.

Not in this case. Linux servers for cod4 has some pretty bad map file size compatibility problems.

I am thinking most of the map problems are mismatch conflicts between the server and redirect. Had to reupload a few of them this evening due to similar issues with the maptest server. But different maps. So likely there are others. There are a huge number of maps to take care of and there are always things that are not correct. The one exception is Strike. I dont know why that one wasnt working. Unless the map itself got corrupted. That does happen and sometimes a game iwd need to be reinstalled. If you look it up 'iw_06.iwd' tends to happen the most. Could also have been that one of the mod iwds (which are just zip archives) had something wrong with it. Sometimes all you can do is start over.

So far... and I am being careful about this... the maptest server beta9 seems to be stable during basic tests. Also, the problem maps with the infinite downloads I am in the process of reuploading them to the redirect as needed. The four or five I did like desert dock *seem* to be ok now. Or I should say, they loaded for me without incident. I already had them and it didnt try and download them again. It is late and I am tired so I couldnt go through all the rotation to check for problems. However I am leaving the server online for anyone that wants to download the b9 mod and the maps. Will be around tomorrow to check things out further. Additional info: For the most part beta9 is only an incremental update. No major changes. Yes on this one Hardwired was moved to perk 3 so you can have both that and Hardline.

I uploaded a compile of beta 9 to the .174 server and will see how that goes. Narrow things down. I am wondering if for b8 the fresh uploads are actually taking. So I said fuck it and started over.

Honey boo-boos aunt?

If I can get b8 running again this evening I will. I just cant guarantee maps because I just cannot find the source of the problem. To be sure I didnt fuck up the mod... which I always consider a possibility... I am compiling b9 as-is and uploading to the .174 server. See if that runs any differently. It's just strange that this problem is not happening at all on my home server and it bugs the shit out of me.

The joke isnt finished. It should also go.... The shocked teacher decided the next person to call on should be little Alexander. She was again shocked that he wants to be little Jimmy's secret gay lover.

I assume you mean the testserver since that was map 12. Took it out and resorted then restarted on map 13. Thx. Which server had bodiam returns that didnt work? Its also in the current maptest rotation. edit: interesting. maps redownloading for me also. Strange.

Which mod? b5? If so this is getting weird. I assumed all rotations from the older mod were ok. Anyways, for the b8 reuploaded files all the hash checks between server and client are matching perfectly. So I dont know why the game is saying there is a problem. Especially since one of the maps that didnt work anymore was a stock map.

Just to note, the cloudcity map has a problem if you fall into the carbonite chamber. It keeps doing fx. Otherwise its a nice map. I would like to figure out a way to deal with that but I havent had time to figure it out. I cant alter the map itself. Could maybe rig up something in the mod that allows custom placement of a small square blocking volume so you cant fall in. Would require figuring out positions and saving the data in the mod for ftag only. All the other gametypes would be fine since you arent frozen inside.

Todays rotation on maptest server. mp_ava_assault seems to be two maps in one since I have seen them before as separate maps I think. An outdoors part and an indoors part. The passage between the two is one of the little buildings.

Thx. Will get a new rotation going this afternoon. As for the main server, I reuploaded yesterday fresh copies of the mod files to both the server and redirect. But when downloading back down... as if I were a new player... I did get the infinite download problem. Which shouldnt have happened. But I suppose that was an indicator that something was wrong. Will try again tonight. Ugh.

Deleted and reuploaded all mod files and the damn thing still wont work right. So I dont know. Going to try something else tomorrow. In the meantime the b5 mod will remain on. You tell me. The same mod files work fine on the .174 server and also my own server at home. Just not on the main server. What is the damn problem?

Dont hit your head on the way out. In any case, I will see how it all goes later this evening when its all quiet.

Admins need vacations too.

Thx for your help. Tomorrow I should have another rotation to have fun with

True. Then again, maybe sometimes people are not in a chatty mood. They just want to sit at the bar and drink their drink.

Now and then I get the 'promotion' notifications. Ooooo...... ahhhhhh......

Maybe that is why I am not an in-game admin, and have zero desire to be. Sometimes I just want to play the game as an anonymous player not the mod maker. It is more relaxing. If I am there to monitor the game, to make sure all is good, then I do use my nick. Or when I turn on my hacks like three rc-xds and a tactical nuke on every spawn. Buwahaha,
