I am having an issue with the plugin on a server, once the plugin wants to go from one map rotation to another one, in my case it goes from Rush maps to Conquest Large maps, both Rush and Conquest maps are on different map rotations. Once the 30 player limit for Rush is hit, then it goes to the Conquest rotation. My problem is the switching, when it does the rotation change the screen in-game goes black and one of two things happen:

- the server in-game screen stay black for about 2 minutes and then the map starts loading or

- the in-game screen stays black for 4 minutes or more and I have to restart the server.

 

Have this come to your attention yet?

We are sure that UMM is causing the issue, because the server has been running fine when the plugin was not enabled. Also it only happens when there is a switch to a different map rotation, in our case when 30 players is reached the plugin runs another map list and when it makes the change the black screen happens.

 

Also this has happened when the first version of the plugin for BF4 came out so we had to disable it and wait for a couple of updates hoping the issue would be fixed.

 

Nope. I've never had that reported before.

Well this is not the first time this has happened, we have no problems when the plugin is not running, but we consider UMM as one of our most important core plugins at Pure Battlefield and we hope we can resolve this if possible.

 

Are there any suggestions you can provide? I can provide you with any data needed as well.

You can submit a proper bug report and I can take a look at the logs, but ultimately, the only thing the plugin is doing is sending commands to remove the old maps, add the new maps, then load the next level. So, if sending those commands is causing the server to act odd, I don't think there's much I can do about it.

Sorry for this question but reading ton of post without finding. (Plugin version 1.2.3.4)

When server is empty at start, I does not switch to Map for 0-11 players. I got this message

UltimateMapManager: WARN -> 0 players. No map list is available for this number of players; keeping current map list. despiste the 'Minimum number of player : 0'

What's wrong ?

You should check the other vars of your maplist:

if i set 0 - 19 players china rising conquest small maps to start server of maplist 1

if i set 20 - 44 players all conquest small maps maplist 2

 

i find it doesnt use any of the maplist in UMM it uses the default Maplist.txt

 

i usualy have no issues with 2 map rotations and has worked fine but with bf4 i cant seem to get it to work

 

im wondering if its me or others having the same issue

Immediately? Update the BF4.def file on your layer server.

Same answer as before. All game modes and maps are pulled from PRoCon. Update the BF4.def file on your layer server.

They are not in the file, but how do i add them.

 

Is it something like this:

 

procon.protected.maps.add "AirSuperiority" "XP1_001" "Air Superiority" "Silk Road" 0

procon.protected.maps.add "AirSuperiority" "XP1_002" "Air Superiority" "Altai Range" 0

procon.protected.maps.add "AirSuperiority" "XP1_003" "Air Superiority" "Guilin Peaks" 0

procon.protected.maps.add "AirSuperiority" "XP1_004" "Air Superiority" "Dragon Pass" 0

That might work. Your local copy of PRoCon should have the latest version in the Configs folder, so you could just upload that to your layer server.

It doesn't create a maplist from the current maplist. If I try to the plugin screen turns white and doesn't return :/

Clear all of the UMM settings from your config file (the one named after the IP address of your server) and start over.

even if i try to make a new empty maplist, the screen turnes white :/

 

It worked very well before i updated BF4.def

The BF4.def was only partial copied to the procon layer.

Thx for everything

Would you consider adding some more features to this awesome plugin? I can commit a $50 donation if you can. I'd love to be able to be able to select all the maps that I wanted in rotation, as well as all the different game modes that I wanted in rotation. This way, we could add maps and have them rotate with the different game modes. It would be nice to be able to put in a priority of how often a game mode was put in. An exclusion list would be awesome too. The plugin would have to have a "manual map mode" which would be exactly the same as now, and an "Automated Map Management", which is what I am proposing.

 

For example, to help describe what I think would be awesome...

 

MAPS:

Zavod 311

Lancang Dam

Flood Zone

Golmud Railway

Paracel Storm

Operation Locker

Hainan Resort

Siege of Shanghai

Rogue Transmission

Dawnbreaker

 

GAME MODES:

Conquest Large | Rounds 1 | Preset - Hardcore | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 1

Rush | Rounds 2| Preset - Tickets 300 | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 2

Obliteration | Rounds 1 | Preset - Hardcore | Preset After Level Load - Hardcore | Priority 3

 

EXCLUSIONS:

Paracel Storm - Rush

Golmud Railway - Obliteration

 

Then it would essentially rotate between maps and game modes without repeating maps/gamemodes and have more Conquest maps than Rush and more Rush than Obliteration.... Anyays, this way we could add/remove new maps to the rotation without having to redo the entire map list in Procon, which can be a chore.

 

Let me know if this is possible

This would be less of a modification and more of a completely different plugin. The current plugin utilizes discrete map lists that are changed in and out as needed. What you're proposing would be better described as a random map list generator. You're essentially providing some criteria and then the plugin would generate map lists that meet that criteria on demand. All of this is possible, of course, but it's not something that I have the time to devote to at the moment.
