Help setting up Railwarz CTF Linux Server

[bvughtoonice]

oh man i feel dumb. i was ediitng my server cfg earlier for FFA and CTF and forgot.

so the my startup.sh was looking  for the railwarz.cfg and it didnt exist

wallfly is working perfect thank you!

you might have mentioned this to me last night i was kind tired n cant remember.. but wallfly doesnt work in spectator mode only once we join a team.

I suspect that's an issue with WallFly. If you're a spectator it puts the [Spectator] tag in front of your name and I think that's confusing WallFly about the commands you give it in spectator mode. I don't know why it's not equally confused about Red and Blue tags. These tags have to be parsed and ignored by WallFly. There might be some configuration settings you can tweak to make it work better. I've never configured a WallFly server but I suspect I'm going to be learning soon.

hmmm something greider did to make it work on acme in spec mod.. dunno what hehe

did you fix the map rotation?? because it seems to be working now lol

i did an rcon exec server.cfg to change from FFA to CTF and i got that weird bug again in CTF where i pick up the flag and i cant hook like gravity weighing me down.. but i tried again and it worked fine weird.

He probably configured or customized the q2admin.

Howdy,

WallFly does currently parse out annotations and tags added by various mods, like:

<(SPEC|RED|BLUE)>
\[(Observer|Red|Blue)\]
\[CAMERA\]
\[DEAD\]
etc.

If you're able to change <SPECTATOR> to <SPEC> in the mod code then it should work with the existing WallFly logic.

Or, if you want to leave it <SPECTATOR> then I can add that to WallFly's parser.

Let me know which

I'll change <SPECTATOR> to <SPEC> in the mod. It's shorter and will look better in console anyway.

wallfly working great now from spec mode

highscore gets recorded 6 times maybe and the tilt chase cam seems to be locking up again.

[bvughtoonice]

did 1 test run with latest build. hscore seems accurate.

i noticed wallfly seems to take a nap every once in a while and not connect to the server on map changes. but when i change map or even restart the same map it ends up reconnecting?

[bvughtoonice]

i had a player from australia say when the map changes.. at time limit or capture limit. or mapvote.  it keeps tell him its connecting but doesnt connect. untill he reconnects or maybe he has to close quake2 n reopen it.

but when i change map with rcon gamemap ... he stays connected.

i forgot to ask what quake2 client he is using??? any ideas tho?

[QwazyWabbit]

Are you sure he's not just impatient for the changeover at the intermission? TMG's a bit odd in that it holds that intermission so long and there is no way to "connect" to the next map until the server times out.

When you do a gamemap command there is immediate reconnection of all clients without delay.

Other than that, I have no clue why there would be a problem.

[bvughtoonice]

could be an impatient thing i dunno i havent experienced it so not sure what it is hes talking about..

i will investigate further and see what i can find out
-------------
 also whatever q2admin modified client macanah is getting at his server im having same issue with some players being kicked by q2admin for modified client..or maybe its a client proxy or both now i do have to check to verify.

i thouht i saw somewhere in a q2admin text about an option and thought i made it not so strict...for proxy but its still happening to a few players being kicked...

ill check server logs find the exact message and also look through q2admin config see if i can find answer for that.

Use the q2admin that quadz is directing you to use. The one I specified is slightly different and I had some trouble with it when starting up the Texas server. I expect that will fix your kicking problem. I got kicked a few times from your server by just alt-tabbing away from the game.

[QwazyWabbit]

I'm back from Houston and there are no more problems there, for a while at least... they can't seem to get along without me.

I'd like you to test that it's no longer possible to choose a map via rcon or mapvote that doesn't exist on the server. If you have a map in your maplist file and the actual .bsp isn't on the server then it should reject the changeover to the map, both by mapvote command or by selecting it from the menu.

My next plan is to fix the map rotation so it stops skipping files in the list.

[bvughtoonice]

lol sounds like you fix stuff everywhere you go!

it prints a message both rcon and mapvote when trying to change to map that doesnt exist on server.

can we get wallfly on the dallas server? had a lot of nice games there and some players asking about it


map rotation is pretty sweet! had some random maps pop up people are excited to see old maps they have forgotten about
