Quick Server set up question...

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2003-06-13 · 4 posts
One of our clans is getting ready to play their first ladder match. The server set up page seems pretty straight forward but i have one question. It states:

"Maps Tab:
3 maps: The maps that are in the rotation should be set up as follows. Map1, Map1, Map2, Map2, Map3, Map3. This allows for sides to be switched once the timelimit has been reached."

How is this accomplished...am I missing something? I can't seem to figure out how to get the server to run one map twice, then load the next map and run it twice, etc. Once I add a map, it's added and that's it.

Or, am I misunderstanding this and the above quote just means 2 rounds per map?

Also, is there an easy way to revert the server back to public play afterwards? Just have 2 Serversettings.con files?

Thanks in advance.

No, you got it.

Yep. I even have different instances of my server so I can keep mod files out of our match server.
Thanks ICRED. I was also considering a seperate instance of the server. But I'm still kinda lost on the double map thing. Any suggestions???
just go with the 2 rounds and add the two maps of choice to your maplist.con. You might even go for a 3 round as most burn a round in a server before match time and not all admins pause the server.

Catch me in irc and I will be glad to help you out.
