Q3 Server hangs while loading.

[bitbandit]

i had this working just fine then i tried to add bots to the server, and i restarted it and it didnt come back up just sits there, but pegs my cpu at 100%. what would cause this to work then to stop? i reinstalled Q3. i am running this on fedora core 5 w/ the 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel. and the 1.32b point release.

sounds like no cfg being exec'd. put +exec [servercfgname].cfg at the end of your shortcut.

edit: maybe not? paste your server.cfg plz

[bitbandit]

i have it set to run my cfg in the autoexec.cfg
i tried it with the suggested pattern but still no luck.
here is my server cfg.

----------------------------------------------------
set sv_hostname "Bitbandit.net"
seta net_ip "192.168.0.1"
seta net_port "27960"

set sv_maxclients 12
set g_motd "For less lag, /rate 25000"
set g_quadfactor 4
set g_weaponrespawn 10
set g_forcerespawn 0
set rconpassword "some_rcon_passwd"


set g_spskill 2
set bot_enabled 1
set bot_nochat 0
set bot_rocketjump 0
set bot_minplayers "10"


set d2 "map q3dm1 ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3dm17 ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "map q3tourney2 ; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1

vstr d1

You have no d1 set.
The last line of the cfg looks for string d1, which there is none.

[bitbandit]

so i would set that to a map correct?

[bitbandit]

i changed the map stuff to

set d1 "map q3dm1 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3dm17 ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3tourney2 ; set nextmap vstr d1"

vstr d1

still has the same effects am i still doing it wrong ?

[bitbandit]

i changed it to what you suggested and it still just does the same thing : (

[bitbandit]

could punkbuster be part of the problem? i have not installed anything for PB but it says its inactive? i have not clue but this is buggin me

[^misantropia^]

What happens if you manually start a map (`map q3dm1`) from the console?
