Got a problem with the maplist on my BF4 server.

 

I create a maplist in Clanforge with different modes and all. And i make the same one in my procon.

Everything runs fine and all until i restart the server, then procon all of a sudden returns maplist to the "default" one.

 

Notice that this happens in procon, and not in clanforge maplist. So now the server runs the "default" maplist in procon instead of the one i made. This means i have to remake the maplist in procon everytime i restart the server.

 

I'm not that good, but i never had this problem before. And i had a BF3 server wich never did this. I want the maplist i make in procon to be saved wheter or not i restart the server.

 

Solutions?

 

Thank you!

I've tried the .startup fixes listed here but they do not work. I have not tried UMM as of yet. So every day I have to go in procon and hit the refresh icon on the maplist and it updates the list from NFO and all is well until the next server reboot. Is this a procon issue or server side problem?

Please tell us what values are these variables in your startup.txt:

Code:

vars.serverType
vars.mpExperience

Hello all, just saw this thread. Probably this problem is fixed in newer versions of procon or server updates. But if not, you can use Ultimate Map Manager plugin to set up your custom maplist. Whenever you restart your server and and the maplist changes. you can load your custom maplist back with ingame command provided with UMM plugin. This was a problem i was also having and managed to work around it with UMM plugin.

What host are you using. It may be that their control panel is over riding your maplist on restart.

vars.preset normal

 

Reboot server.

Just got this from My Trinity Games Support Folks.

I think you need to be running on R3 for this to work, but I am not 100% sure

that's a dice fix waiting to happen. Browse thru the servers - 99% are listed as Custom, the other 1% are Normal.

lol, you can set up a server as Official or Ranked - and it can be either Normal or Custom - what a hoot

Running your server in "official mode" (vars.mpexperience" set in your startup.txt will overwrite your maplist to the default one.

 

Do as Lukas says in the post above, and it will run with the settings you want it to run.

 

(this is nothing to do with Procon, its part of the gameserver itself)
