MP_20 CombatMission 1

 

But yet, a different map list, the one in Procon, is running Sarajevo Stadium instead.

 

*EDIT* Figured it out. I had to go into Procon, select Server Settings/Gameplay and choose Custom Playlist in the Playlist Presets box.

 

*EDIT 2* Ok, still having a problem. I switched the server to a custom map list and Procon shows the contents of my server's maplist, but the server is still starting Sarejevo Stadium, even though it's not in the map list.

 

*EDIT 3* So many edits. Turns out my command line wasn't set to custom map list.

there might be also circumstances denying that others can follow those.

 

Regarding server side changes we try to prepare Procon as fast as possible and sometimes

even before the new servers are released but at some times we face the need to have

an updated server to check things out first. And some things also surprising us too.

 

Phil i can only change map now using maplist.txt?

Like I posted a few posts before you will have the need to have Procon check for updates

to download an updaed MOHW.def file which contains the new maps, their gamemodes and also

the human readable names.

 

Remember with MOHW you are only able to edit and change "your" maplist if you set your server

to the Custom playlist which can be done using the serversettings gameplay options in Procon.

 

If you do not change to custom (CustomPL) all changes you try to do to the server are ignored with

this type of server response which you can see on the console tab:

Code:

MapSequencerNotAvailable

Even if you have changed to Custom playlist you may face a write protected maplist.txt to which

the server states it has NoAccess. This has to be fixed by your GSP.

 

Fellas, I am over at Art Of War Central and I have to add my Maps Manually, dont ask, and for the record i am there for only one more month and Im finding a new server provider.

But anyway can you guys post here the full names for MP_20 and MP_21 so I can add them to my map.txt file ? Please

Well, it is hard to give advices when you're in the need to check out things at a R-6 server also.

As far as we know the naming by filenames, not human readable names, has changed with R-6 to a short

style like we all knew it from BF3.

 

Maybe you already did what I suggest right after I uploaded the updated MOHW.def file. Hit the check for update

in Procon. And in case you have not disabled the check for gameconfig files your Procon will fetch or has fetched

the new file already.

 

In case you want to add your maplist by giving your GSPs panel a try the map names are

Code:

Human readable    -- filename
Darra Gun Market	-- MP_20
Compound	-- MP_21

and they can be used with all game modes.

 

i was wondering if the new patch allows in game admin abilities, and plugins?

I can say it now supports admin.say and admin.yell.

For admin.yell the syntax is different to the one we know from other games because you don't give a display time.

The reason is admin.yell does not write across the screen but it writes in a differet color (red) to the chat box.

 

Maybe you have tested out the movement of players. Let me say moving players was possible with Procon

since we added support fo MoHW but it is a server side bug that moved players which were not dead faced

a locked situation where they have to close the game and rejoin to be able to play again.

 

Also if you moved a player while he was dead, he was able to see his fireteam he was in at the enemy side

highlighted.

 

If both is fixed with R-6 I haven't checked yet.

 

Besides that the next Procon version we will release very soon will include the standard plugins you know.

I'll expect most plugin authors will check if their plugins are compatible with MoHW now as the channel

to the user via say/yell is there and the server sends the chat via rcon. So now also ingame commands

are possible.

 

*EDIT 2* Ok, still having a problem. I switched the server to a custom map list and Procon shows the contents of my server's maplist, but the server is still starting Sarejevo Stadium, even though it's not in the map list.

Well, first check if you still got the Sequencer Error or some access error on the maplist.txt in case of changes

via rcon. If non of that is the case make sure your maplist.txt does not contain an error like having wrong

map to mode relation or mapfile names which do not exist.

 

Remember before R-6 you had to add a map to the maplist.txt with its complete path.

Now you have to use the short form. If any map still contains its long path it might

give an error stopping the server from parsing the maplist.txt.

 

For me my GSP had converted the maplist.txt to the new style already as the server

came up after the update.

This is still there. Until you die, you will see your former fireteam member on the other team.

You get the MapSequencerNotAvailable error. This means you are running a playlist with a dedicated and unchangeable set of maps, a predefined maplist.

 

Go to Procon's server settings -> gameplay tab and change the playlist to "Custom Playlist (maplist.txt)".

If you want to set it in your serves startup.cfg you have to add

Code:

vars.playlist "CustomPL"

My maplist.txt has Darra Gun Market and Chintrail Compound, Hot Spot and Sector Control. In Procon, I see these maps in the map list. However, my server's running maps and modes I don't have in the maplist.txt. I choose one of the maps to be the next map and use the little button to rotate the maps, but the map I selected isn't run. Also, the map changes I'm forcing aren't showing up under the Events tab.

What does the console show on vars.playlist?

I ended up reinstalling the server and it's working properly now so it was apparently a server side issue.

You have to ask your GSP which provides the gameserver to you where to access the taken PB screenshots.

Those paths given back by punkbuster on the server are related to the gameserver.

 

Procon does not and can not download pb screenshots via rcon.

May I suggest you add your question to the forums search-function (has been answered here already too) and Google before posting it here? Would save us a lot of work, thanks!

If you have read the thread(s) you should have read my questions about console quotes / logs showing your actions and a precise description of what you did, you expected Procon to do and why you have the impression it did not.

It would be a good idea to ask those questions in the related threads of the plugins you are interested in.

MixedSpambot

PingPlayers

Ultimate Map Manager

WatchdogLanguage

Metabans

 

ProconRulz

Tested some Onkill;Log and Say rules; working

Yell does not work.

 

Insane Limits

Simple Rules are working. I think all rules without data fetch from Battlelog will work. You have to ignore the data-fetch errors in console.

Yell does not work.

 

AdaptiveServerSize

Working for hours, but later the serversize is only changing in Procon, not longer in Battlelog.

Maybe a bug in BL? I think the same Problem was in BF3.

 

Regards!

You can't.

These are settings your GSP has to do.

Afaik your GSP has to add a command line startup parameter called

Code:

-VeniceOnline.QueueCapacityOverride <int value>

to activate a join queue. But expect the queue only to work for players using battlelog to join.

The inGame server browser will visualize the queue values but by the experience I made it

will not put you in the queue.

 

Also afaik reserved slots are not working for MoHW.

Thanks to our user Rucki we are now able to be a bit more precise.

 

His tests showed that by having the above command in the servers startup command line the server is told to provide a join queue also for players using the ingame server browser. At this point I have to revoke my comment about the not working join queue while using the ingame browser. Guess I wasn't intently enough or had bad luck with the 3 or 4 servers I tried to join.

 

The join queue is working.

And regarding the reservedSlotsList (VIP list) it is no list working like you might now from BC2 where a joiner which is on the VIP list kicks a player from the server and takes his slot. It is working like in BF3. Being on the VIP list reserves you one of the first places in the join queue. This is definitely working while using the inGame Browser while your server is told to provide a join queue with the above command line option.

· Crash dumps should now be written to the instance directory when the server crashes.

· Correct call stack of crashes should now appear in the server logs.

· admin.say and admin.yell will now propagate onChat events to all event listeners.

Actually my test server still is on R-6.

Furthermore there are no official news on the MoHW news site in Battlelog pointing to a release except some quotes of messages from GSPs in the BL forum.

 

Well, guess we have to be patient and wait for the surprise what has changed besides the onChat events.

e2a:mad:k so this has been a wild goose chase, server revision 323083 is R7 which was released on the 9th and not yesterday.
