Mapvoting works and doesnt work ://

[petillan]

Hi,

I am trying to set up some servers for a lan-game in Belgium.
Everything works fine but i cant get mapvoting working, however it works with this commandline:
1v1 DM:

"D:\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\Binaries\UT3.exe" Server DM-Sentinel?MaxPlayers=2?MinNetPlayers=1?NumPlay=0?Ga meMode=0?game=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?CustomMapName=DM-Sentinel?CustomGameMode=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?GoalSc ore=0?TimeLimit=15?bShouldAdvertise=True?bIsLanMat ch=True?bIsDedicated=True?ForceRespawn=1?pureserve r=1?ServerDescription=0490001180000490000320001150 00101000114000118000101000114000?Mutator=UTGame.UT Mutator_WeaponsRespawn?GamePassword=password?Admin Password=mypassword -log=DedicatedServer.log -Login=mylogin -Password=mypassword -nohomedir -unattended

When I use the following templates, it says MAPVOTE DISABLED DUE LACK OF MAPS. I am running them from a batch-file.

1v1 Duel:

Anyone that can find the problem?
Lots of thanks, cya.

Some of your commandlines are using the '-nohomedir' option and some are not.

It may be that you are editing the wrong UTGame.ini file and thats why its not working. If you are using '-nohomedir' then you should edit the UTGame.ini file located in \Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\UTGame\Config\ If you are not using the '-nohomedir' switch then you should be editing the UTGame.ini file located in \Documents and Settings\[user]\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\Config\

I found that for vCTF you have to set bAllowMapVoting=true under [UTGameContent.UTVehicleCTFGame_Content] before it will work.

Thx for the quick replies

Everything works now fine except for the duel mode:

"D:\Unreal Tournament 3 (Dedicated)\Binaries\UT3.exe" Server DM-Deck?CustomMapName=DM-Deck?GameMode=5?game=UTGame.UTDuelGame?CustomGameM ode=UTGame.UTDuelGame?MaxPlayers=2?MinNetPlayers=2 ?NumPlay=0?GoalScore=0?TimeLimit=15?bShouldAdverti se=True?bIsLanMatch=True?bIsDedicated=True?ForceRe spawn=1?pureserver=1?ServerDescription=0123?GamePa ssword=password?AdminPassword=mypassword -log=1v1Server.log -Login=mylogin -Password=mypassword -nohomedir -unattended

I also have some extra questions:

-if I run multiple server at my machine on the lan, do I need to use the -multihome function then?

-is it possible to define different ini files to servers for e.g. :
I wanna have a duel server and a public DM server
for the duel server I want to have in my ini's: bTournament=true
bPlayersMustBeReady=true
but for the public dm I want this: bTournament=False
bPlayersMustBeReady=False

Many thanks :)

-if I run multiple server at my machine on the lan, do I need to use the -multihome function then?
It depends. If your PC has multiple IP addresses bound to its NIC, or has multiple NICs then yes, you will need the '-multihome=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' switch.


-is it possible to define different ini files to servers for
Yes. There a couple of different ways to do this, depending on how you set this up. If you have a copy of the binaries for each server that you are running then each server will have a set of its own .ini files (as long as you use the -nohomedir command). If you are using just one set of binaries to run all of the servers then you will want to use the '-configsubdir=' command as is outlined in this thread: http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=587932

Thx Dubious for those quick replies :)

Now I just need to get that 1v1 Duel template working with map voting :)

[Death1978]

I have mapvoting working for dm, but not for WF.

[Tallicalover]

I can´t get the map vote to work since I installed the 1.1 patch, can some one tell me to get it work again please? :(

[Entil'Zha]

You guys tried it like this?

Tell me please if you find a solution. I don't found one. MapVote works on all gameplay, just not on DUEL... so I have changed the DUEL server to TeamDeathMatch.

And you have mapvoting enabled here:

[UTGame.UTDuelGame]
NumRounds=1
GoalScore=0
TimeLimit=5
ResetTimeDelay=15
bAllowNonTeamChat=False
bWarmupRound=False
bAllowMapVoting=True
bForceMidGameMenuAtStart=False
NetWait=15
ClientProcessingTimeout=30
WarmupTime=2
LateEntryLives=1
VoteDuration=30
MaxCustomChars=12
MaxLives=0

And added more than one map in UTGame.UTGame?

GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="UTDuelGame",Maps=("DM-Deck","DM-Diesel","DM-Fearless"))

Great! That was the problem. This line was not in the default config and I mine, the DM config are the same for DUEL. Thanks!
