Quake3World

Hi all, could not logon my old Rocketdoctor account for some reason so hence the new logon.

I run a dedicated server on LAN for me and the kids. Got a map rotation going and all seems to be working well. I would now like to tweak a couple of things.

1. Instead of a rotation is it possible to have a map come up randomly? So we list all the maps we have in a the server.cfg and it decides which one plays next?

2. At the moment we set up for Vanilla but we want to load up OSP to play insta and clan arena. I cannot find any links which shows how to do this? Or a nice simple list of commands for OSP

Any pointers gratefully received - RD

random maps is not possible out of the box. there might be mods that can do this (maybe even osp?) but with vanilla q3 youre stuck with a fixed rotation

OSP has a configmaker utility and comes with a lot of premade configs and .bats, needed to start a CA or insta server. if all fails, check the readme

a few things..

with osp, it's easy to do random maps...just one server variable

here's the list of map variables you can put in an osp server config

set map_autoload 1
set map_queue 1
set map_rotate 1
set map_once 1
set map_random 1
set map_nocount 0
set map_halt 0

although the reason you can't find anything on osp is because they stopped developing it. you'll have to get support from other q3 communities to get help with it...

which brings me to cpma...1.34 just got released, and if you use vq3 style gameplay, you'll basically get a new/better version of osp. plus it's still supported...they have forums and all that

Have a great weekend all

One thing I did forget with OSP is that it comes with host of read me's.

I have the above commands in the server config. The location of the mapcfgs is also in the cfg file but it still only plays the default map

last line of config is
map "q3dm1" and that map plays continuoulsy.

How do i get it to change maps?
