Lets hope the next server revision has better functionality. I know this is a console port but it is really poor to release this for PC in this condition.

This is the same cfg I have ran since day 1 except when the servers in r2 refused to play mixed. At that point I just set the server command line to CombatMissionPL untill R3 Fixed that issue.

 

My current custom Mixed gametype & Map playlist runs without any issues.

 

So as stated prior, Server had been running for over an hr with ppl in it no restarts in that time, I start my Procon Choose the server to connect to, Then Game server restarts my friends in TeamSpeak say "why did u restart the server" . Only I and one other admin has Procon and the Rcon pw for the server, nobody typed quit in console and it wasn't a restart or next round command executed. I just loged in to my server with PRoCon and Bam Server restart.

 

Please understand I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just passing on info as PRocon evolves with MOHW.

 

Thanks again PRoCon Staff for all your hard work on the MOHW Project.

vars.roundStartPlayerCount 1

For the last two lines you can use other values. Guess as default the server runs with 2 for restart and 4 to start.

I did this for one crashing test server and now he's up and running since more than 3 days.

 

Server R4 seems to have an rcon instability.

It is not Procon by itself causing it but the server failing on rcon.

 

 

 

Server command line set to:

CustomPL

 

Mapcycle is as follows:

Jesus... I should do a maplist parser which checks syntax.

Well, I haven't looked deeper at your maplist but except that what I wrote in general

here www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...e-informations*

I have no information about maps causing crashes of a server.

Yes, I have similar issues. Mine would only run the first 3 maps. I would have to manually set the next map and it would then play but then skip back to the original 3 if I let it go by itself.

Hi,

 

There has been other reports on the MoHW mailer about this error that is showing in your server logs. One of the culprits is Procon, but they have not said what the other cause is, so there is no fix for that side of it yet.

 

The error has to do with memory access violations.

 

Until there is a fix for this, there really isn't anything that we can do, other than recommend not using Procon for the time being, as that is the main one that people have been stating has caused the issue for them.

 

Thank you,

I know and have feedback that DC hunted down a few things that can cause

this. One for example is the use of vars.allUnlocksUnlocked but I can't say

if that is for setting a value or also for just querying the current value

which Procon does.

 

Besides that... I have a server running with GameServers and since I changed

my Startup.txt the way I explained in different posts here it is up and running

for 3 days and 22 hours at the moment. And I have two continuous connections

- one with a Procon 1.4.0.0 and one with a python script - to it. I'm also

connecting countless times with my Procon in progress to it. => No Crash.

I find it hard to believe that the procon would crash 2 of my servers but not the other 2.

when they patched up to what we call the r4 trouble started.

To be honest with you I don't believe the procon is crashing it,

but I'm at a loss as to what to do cause right now i have nothing on procon etc and they still crash

 

this is my start up text

vars.ServerName "WCKclan.net Bomb Squad"

admin.password

vars.gamePassword

If you do not set a gamePassword remove that line.

Also you do not need to set vars.maxPlayers because your GSP sets the max size already in the command line of your server, and if you don't want to make it smaller you don't need that. It seems like setting things already done in the command line can also cause trouble, but actually I had that case only with vars.playlist. Personally I have

Code:

vars.ranked true
punkBuster.activate

as my first lines.

Can't see any difference in configs either on procon or servers. I've resigned myself to just running direct connections until DC release a more functional server revision which will help the team here.

Sounds a bit ironic, doesn't it?

Well, set you server to ranked by using "vars.ranked true" and don't mess with vars.allUnlocksUnlocked & vars.gamePassword in your startup config.

server to e-sport MUST be:

- ranked false

- password true

- all unlocked true

- killcam false

- spectator cam false

- obituary false

- taging false

 

i need control my config. now i can only play on default. its not a e-sport

Ah. Okay now I see what you tried to say.

Well, I'm sorry but that question as to be ask at EA/DC.

 

Actually the rcon accessible commands do not include some command for spectators.

In case you mean with spectator the short view where you see your killer, that can be controlled

with vars.killCam.

Procon, through no fault of its own, has its difficulties with connection to servers and server crashes.

 

GS cannot give me any visibility on when there will be any 'unranked' servers available, if ever or indeed if there is any work being done on this subject by DC.

 

So my question is: is this game over or does anyone have any insight as to when any/all these issues will be addressed?

Do the above only work with 'immersive'? The only thing which seems to work is the health reduction. Any ideas?

[... ]

Try

Code:

vars.ranked true
punkBuster.activate
admin.password "yourRCONpassword"
vars.serverName "yourServerName"
vars.friendlyFire true
vars.serverDescription "Welcome To A GameServers.com Hosted MOHW Server!"
vars.bannerURL 
vars.buddyOutline false
vars.regenerateHealth false
vars.hudEnemyTag false
vars.soldierHealth 45

The lines I removed are not supported by MoHW R-4. The server may seem to respond to commands all in lower case but I prefer and would advice you to use them as given back on an admin.help command.

 

For Immersive settings as laid out by documentation for R-1 see www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...e-informations* near the end of firs post.

 

Also try to not mess around with not really documented commands like gameAdmin.* ... they are in an too early state even in BF3.

 

You may also set vars.roundStartPlayerCount and vars.roundRestartPlayerCount. The default in the server if not given has the value -1 for both which -- based on BF3 -- effectively should be 4 to start and 2 for restart.

Unfortunately that does not work either. None of the settings is acted upon by the server and it stays in the original 'vanilla ranked' settings, with the exception of the health reduction (45%). I did restart.

 

In any event Phil, thank you for trying.

 

Do you have any visibility as to when we will be able to at least lock our servers, with a password?

You can password your server now.

 

vars.ranked false

vars.gamePassword "server password"

 

Setting ranked to false still leaves your server in a "ranked" state, but allows you to password the server.

You will not have any luck with it. The command for weapon unlocks has no effect in MoHW.

Furthermore it can crash the server if you try to set a value as far as i know.

[ImportBot]

Sadly Superg you cannot do that now. Up to the 3rd of this month you could and I know of one group that did and haven't had to restart so they still have their server locked and 'ranked' but GS informs me the minute they restart they will go on to the newer and even more broken, current server iteration.

 

Phil is correct, on the current build 'unranked' does not provide any useable weapons and there is no way around this at present. This issue is not at all complex to fix but there is no evidence that DC are working on it. Certainly the server providers have no ETA on a solution and seem to be losing heart in MOHW comparing it to the 'MW3' server side debacle.

 

On another note can anyone help me to get these 'vars' to work on a ranked server?

 

vars.friendlyFire true

vars.buddyOutline false

vars.regenerateHealth false

vars.hudEnemyTag false

 

 

I have the health reduction (45%) working well except for the whining for 'medical attention'. I want to achieve a 'hardcore' mode but with the compass for more realistic tactical play.

All HUD setting vars and regenerateHealth should have instant effect but friendlyFire needs a round restart or load of next map.

Unfortunately none of these hud setting vars or other settings work on the MOHW servers at the moment. Initially I thought it was my servers but after a complete reinstall including a 'wipe' the following has NO effect on the server setup.

 

vars.ranked true

punkBuster.activate

admin.password ""

vars.serverName ""

vars.friendlyFire true

vars.buddyOutline false

vars.regenerateHealth false

vars.hudEnemyTag false

 

I cant see anything wrong with the above.

Get rid of all HUD relevant vars and friendly fire in the startup.txt.

Restart your server and get in the game on your server.

 

Then disable the Hud vars you want using procon. You should see an instant effect on them.

FriendlyFire effect you can test by forwarding to a new map and have a test shoot out with a friend.

Thank you that worked very well and was a great help. Will the changes remain after I shut Procon/the server down?

 

Can I shorten the period between rounds? And can I set the players to give health to all on their team (not just fire team) so I can turn health regen off?

 

Thanking you again.
