maps wont load, help

Could you attach your mapcycle.cfg and your autostart.cfg?

(also noticed that one of you guys stole 2 of my maps and made them your own :P )

 

Well lets go through basic map loading procedures. Assuming your server is simple and you are using it by default, your server should have a KAG\Base folder.
In this folder, you should have a Scripts folder and a Maps Folder. For your guys simplicity, you can just put all you maps in the Maps folder. Additionally, by default, in the Scripts folder there should be a dedicated_autoconfing.cfg, dedicated_autostart.gm and a mapcycle.cfg

The dedicated_autostart.gm is where you can decide which mapcycle to load. Opening it up with a text editor (like Notepad) should allow you to see this line:

LoadMapCycle( "Scripts/mapcycle.cfg" );

If this line says something else, you should probably change it (for the sake of simplicity) and have it say that instead (or you could have a mapcycle.cfg where it says it's located as well, either works).

Anyways, if the LoadMapCycle references the file correctly, then all that's really left to check is the mapcycle.cfg

The map cycle by default should look something likes this:

Code:

mapcycle = Maps/generator_ctf_flat.cfg; Maps/generator_zombie_flat.cfg; Maps/test2.png; Maps/generator_ctf_flat.cfg; Maps/duel.png; Maps/generator_ctf_mountain.cfg;

If it looks something like this:

Code:

mapcycle =
Maps/generator_ctf_flat.cfg;
Maps/generator_zombie_flat.cfg;
Maps/test2.png;
Maps/generator_ctf_flat.cfg;
Maps/duel.png;
Maps/generator_ctf_mountain.cfg;

it won't work (and thanks Trelawney for teaching me that). In other words, you can't use enter to separate them. Wording for the map cycle is very specific. Duel.png is different from duel.png. Also you need to make sure the maps are in the right folder. If your map is in the maps folder, you have to type Maps/duel.png and not just duel.png. If it can't find the map, it'll load a randomly generated one instead.

Anyways, if you've followed these steps and still have a problem, do you think you can upload you mapcycle.cfg, your dedicated_autostart.gm and the console logs when you try to load a map?

 

By steal I mean you just edited them slightly made them your own :p
It's fine though, as long as you don't repost them on the forums as your own, so don't worry, it was just more of a casual remark. Anyways, it's good that it's working for you now.

So Titmau5, how about you? You still have any issues?

 

No prob.
