map rotation

[l33t]

Is there an easy way to get a map rotation that I can edit. Or is it a pain in the ass dealing with programming bs? I would like to setup a map rotation for the bogo server but if its a pain oh well.

It's easy to do with the latest CAx version. Here is my attempt to explain what I know of how it works, Rook would know better of course

There is a levels.cfg you setup, Dredd's looks like this:

//
// levels.cfg
//
// This is a sequential list of maps to be rotated when ROTATEMAPSON is set in ca.cfg
aggressr
spinev2
klzvob
carddm1
trimp
ferrum
jndm6
dmfdm1
chesdm1
cmt4
cleaver
reinc5
gomdm4
jrdm1
gworld
mgdm2
madness
klzvob
jndm6
gmdm1
efdm10
chesdm1
ztndm4
head-shot
aggressr
dmfdm2
chesdm1
imp1dm6
xl1dm4
bsdm8
safe1
klzinsanity
bovine
dm3again
summer
edc

And it looks like you need this in your your ca.cfg

// User defined map rotation after each match end (8 seconds intermission minimum)
// nextmapon nexmapoff
// edit levels.qc to define the sequential list.
nextmapon

levels.cfg and ca.cfg need to be in the cax folder on the server.

To my knowledge, you have to be using the very latest CAx, which I think is 1.70.

yea, i dont have the latest cax, anyway I can get it?

[Baker]

You'd have to ask Rook for a copy. 1.70 is in beta, but it sure seems stable enough.

K, I have 1.7b, but its not working, I have map rotation on, put the levels in, but nadda. does it matter if the maps are in id1/maps or ca/maps? hrmph poop

My inbox was full. Can you send me a list of ALL the maps u want on the server, and ill build u a custom warp list. Maps must be in the warplist for levels.cfg to work.
