Some dedicated server questions

[flak.pt]

Hello, i've got some questions here:

1. I enabled mapvote with this:

[UTGame.UTGame]
bAllowMapVoting=True
VoteDuration=45
GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="UTGame",Maps=("DM-Sentinel","DM-Deck","DM-Arsenal","DM-Heatray","DM-Shangrila","DM-Diesel"))
MapCycleIndex=-1

On the server log:

ScriptLog: -- MAPVOTE is ENABLED!!!!!

Now, i dont see any place to vote ingame. Does the map vote window only show up when the game is over? Shouldnt it show up when i press Esc during game? Does it have something to do with this option:

[UTGame.UTGame]
bTournament=True


2. What are these options for?

[UTGame.UTGame]
bWarmupRound=True
WarmupTime=2

They dont seem to work. Im trying to set up a duel server with unlimited warmup time, in which the player has to press ready to start the game (like with UT2004/UTComp) but i dont think that is possible :\


3. My server commandline is this:

ut3 server DM-Sentinel?bShouldAdvertise=false?AdminPassword=XXX? bIsDedicated=True?PureServer=1?ForceRespawn=1?muta tor=UTGame.UTMutator_WeaponsRespawn? -log=flak.log -Login=XXX -Password=XXX -GameINI=UTGame.ini -nohomedir

And here is the rest of the config (from the ini):

[Engine.GameInfo]
DefaultGame=UTGame.UTDeathmatch
DefaultServerGame=UTGame.UTDeathmatch
bAdminCanPause=True
MaxPlayers=2
GameDifficulty=1.000000
bChangeLevels=True
MaxSpectators=1
MaxIdleTime=0.000000
MaxTimeMargin=0.000000
TimeMarginSlack=1.350000
MinTimeMargin=-1.000000
PlayerControllerClassName=UTGame.UTPlayerControlle r
bKickLiveIdlers=False
ArbitrationHandshakeTimeout=0.000000
GoreLevel=0

[UTGame.UTGame]
BotRatio=0.000000
GoalScore=0
bTournament=True
bPlayersMustBeReady=True
NetWait=15
ClientProcessingTimeout=30
RestartWait=30
MinNetPlayers=1
bWaitForNetPlayers=true
LateEntryLives=1
TimeLimit=15
GameDifficulty=+5.0
EndTimeDelay=4.000000
bAllowMapVoting=True
VoteDuration=45
bForceRespawn=False
ServerSkillLevel=0
MaxCustomChars=12
bWarmupRound=True
WarmupTime=2
GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="UTOnslaughtGame",Maps=("WAR-Downtown","WAR-SinkHole","WAR-Dusk","WAR-Islander","WAR-Avalanche","WAR-MarketDistrict","WAR-OnyxCoast","WAR-Powersurge","WAR-Serenity","WAR-FloodGate","WAR-Torlan"))
GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="UTGame",Maps=("DM-Sentinel","DM-Deck","DM-Arsenal","DM-Heatray","DM-Shangrila","DM-Diesel"))
MapCycleIndex=-1

I want no advertise because i want it to be private. I can connect to the server through the console, but only on my 2nd attempt (ALWAYS!). Here's the relevant part from the log:

NetComeGo: Open TheWorld 11/23/07 01:06:19 213.22.53.96:1308
Log: Client netspeed is 10000
NetComeGo: Close TcpipConnection_0 213.22.53.96:1308 11/23/07 01:06:20
NetComeGo: Open TheWorld 11/23/07 01:06:23 213.22.53.96:1308
NetComeGo: Close TcpipConnection_1 213.22.53.96:1308 11/23/07 01:06:23
NetComeGo: Open TheWorld 11/23/07 01:06:36 213.22.53.96:1308
NetComeGo: Open TheWorld 11/23/07 01:06:47 213.22.53.96:1311
Log: Client netspeed is 10000

This always happens, any idea why?


Let me just say i dont want to use Duel gametype because removing belt is not an option. Untill a mutator comes out to disable Amp/invis, etc, id rather play regular DM with just 2 players and we agree not to use amp/invis.

I know this is a big post, but please help :)

And thank you in advance. Thought i should post here, not to spam the mailing list :)

Regarding the map voting you'll want to follow this suggestion: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showpo...92&postcount=9

It worked for me great.

1) I think currently the Vote option only shows up at the end of a match and would have nothing to do with the bTournament setting.

2) No clue.

3) If bShouldAdvertise=false is not working, trying adding ?GamePassword=xxx for now to the command line and let your friend(s) know what it is.

Its all solved, now i just need to figure out why i need to connect twice to the server always. :|

Also, can anyone tell me why in DM the belt spawns at 24s and in Duel it spawns at 06s ?
