1.1.0.1 (01/20/2012)

- custom preset map assignments weren't being restored on restart

- custom presets can now be renamed

- day-dependent map lists no longer clear the options on some systems

 

For those of you that have some custom presets from previous versions that you wish to rename, simply add a line at the top of all of the settings that looks like this: "# Custom Preset: New Name"

That could be due to the server size when the round started; not enough info to tell. It's not related to this plugin, though, as it doesn't control server size.

No. If your "regular" rotation includes Rush maps, then you need to switch to the "regular" rotation with LESS THAN 32 players to avoid players being kicked.

Empty Rotation

 

Min: 0

Max: 24

 

Normal: 20

Max: 64

 

Would players get kicked then?

I have 2 map rotations. one that applies to 0 - 24 players that includes the small conquest maps and rush maps. and then the one that's >24 that includes the large conquest maps. Works very well. Used to allow the first map list until we reached 32 players but it left people sitting in the join queue for an entire round, so we bumped it down a bit to 24 and that seems to work pretty well.

No, they wouldn't.

Okay, guess I'll try with these new settings.

I have that version so its not ProCon...

 

Do I need to just update the BF3.def if so how?

Well, all of the problems I've ever encountered with map lists have been due to an out-of-date BF3.def file. If you do have the latest version, I'm not sure what the issue is. Since I can't reproduce the problem, and since no one else is having an issue, I would need access to your server in order to do any further diagnosis. Let me know.

The problems is, that when the server is on the second list on a TDM map, and people are leaving, the plugin will swith during the game to list 1 to fill up. Problem is they already are on a TDM map, so it would be nice that it sticks there, so the left over people can finish their game while waiting for new players. I know you have the option to set switch immediatly to new map list to NO, so it will stick on the TDM map. Tricky part is, when this happends on a SQDM map and it sticks there all people will leave.

 

If you still can follow me , is there a way to solve this problem? So that if people are leave on a TDM map that it wil stay there, but when people are leaving on a SQDM map it will switch to a new map list

 

Switch to new map list immediately? Yes

- Do not switch if gamemode = TDM (SQDM / Rush ect ect)

- Do not switch if more than this number of players are online = 8

I follow you, and I'll add this to the to-do list. It may be a bit, though, as there are a few things in front of it.

I'm pretty sure this is available via a different plugin, but I'll add it to the list.

 

You are on the email list. If you're not getting them, give me a different email address that won't filter them.

Is there an email I need to "white-list" other than the one you've sent to me before?

I just double-checked the list, and you weren't actually in there. I'm not sure how that happened. Anyhow, I added you and sent you a copy. I apologize for the confusion.

With your latest realease I am not seeing this problem so thanks for your work. Now we dont have the chase a bug that doesnt exist.

 

I do have question/ request. Can we get a rotate function that rotates the map, after a period of time, through the maps in list zero, when the server is empty? Or something that set sthe server to a preferred map when it empties out.

The Automatic Round Restarter plugin can be used to rotate maps when the server is empty. I may add this feature, but if you need it now, use that plugin. It will also allow you to return to the first map in the list if that's your preferred map.

Or something like min=65/max=65? A "Use this map list" boolean flag per-maplist would be ideal, naturally.

 

Also, is there a limit to the number of map lists that can be defined, or is it just memory-limited?

Set min/max at 64. Then, as long as an active map list has a max of 64, the map list will never be used.

 

There are no limits.

do you know if that bug is up to DICE to fix? kind of a bummer :/

 

so, i tested this on my 32 man, and the above isn't true. Caspian CQ is played 3 times. But what I AM noticing is that you cannot have a rotation of more than 21 maps. Check out Battlelog, and I believe thats where it starts the rotation over. My 64 slot I'm trying to get a 48 map rotation, but its capping at 21.
