    Hi guys,

    I am new to this forum and I really hope someone can help met with my problem. I have searched the forum and the KAG wiki but couldn't find an answer to my question. So here it is:

    I run a server from my computer at home. I can start the server (with dedicatedserver.bat), everything works fine.
    I have set a mapcycle.cfg with 5 maps and it loads correctly (as seen in the server console, below). But it is always only ONE map that is loaded. If I try to change the map with /rcon /nextmap the same maps keeps being loaded. Also if I try to change the map within the game (by voting), or if someone wins the game, the same maps is being loaded over and over again.

    What am I doing wrong?

    This is how the maps are loaded in the server console:

    Here it is. The maps are all present in the folders, and playable. If I change the order of the maps, the server loads a different map and sticks to it.

    Not a 100% sure, but I think it might be that you didn't put each map on a new line (technincally that shouldn't really be a problem since just the semi-colon should be the delimiter, but it might be that both semicolon + newline might be it). Mind trying this one?

    That does not change anything. Even if I reset to default (mapcycle.cfg located in RULES folder) the map can't be changed.
    Attached is the default mapcycle.cfg for CTF in the RULES folder. I haven't changed this file, so this is the original one.
    The server loads all maps like this:
    Note that the server is adding the map called NewTortuga as first map and is loading this map. In mapcycle.cfg this map is listed third. I noticed that this was also the case wiht my own mapcycle.cfg: the server loads the third map in the list.
    Whenever I want to change the map, the server keeps loading the third map in the cycle list.

    If that ^ doesn't work, check that you don't have anything for:
    Code:
    sv_mapcycle =
    It should simply be blank if your mapcycle.cfg is in KAG/Base/Rules/CTF

    If it isn't, or if your mapcycle isn't located in that section, then that'd be your problem. However if everything is fine, the only way I think to help you at that point would be to have you upload your autoconfig.cfg and /Rules/CTF folder.

    If you do have to do that, Delete your RCON password and Server password unless you haven't set one or plan to change it later.

    Yes! This did it, thank you so much! In my autoconfig.cfg this was set to 0.
