All maps visible

Post by kentinet »

Hi!

How can i make the server cfg to show all maps the Quake 3 VQ3 1v1 server have if i write the command /maplist?

set map_cfgdir "" instead of set map_cfgdir "cfg-maps" shows only a few, 44 maps instead of 55

I doubt it's VQ3 you are talking about. Regardless, cvar strings can be max 255 bytes long. 44 maps will be roughly that size.

It´s VQ3, and now the server shows all 78 maps, for a reason...

By VQ3, you do not mean "vanilla Q3", you mean the mod CPMA, with the VQ3 gameplay setting.

The answer to your question probably lies here:

My guess is that you had map_restrict 1, or sth.

Yea, thats me ;)

Unfortunately the GTV server is abandonware, and GTV's do not report to a live master server anymore (they're hardcoded to report to master.geeteevee.com which no longer exists). Therefore, GTV's do not report to any master server, and so you cannot automatically find them.

I've tested hacking the GTV server to report to a different address, but the protocol isnt one I recognise (its certainly not the normal q3 master server protocol), so atm its not possible to repoint them to any other master server.

MAXBrowse can query GTV's if you manually add them (and remember to select view -> TV so that it shows the TVs), but they will not automatically add them.

And before you tell me that ASE finds them, it only finds ones that someone has manually entered, and doesnt find any new ones without someone manually adding them.
