GunGame 5 Forums

ok so i seem to have a problem with my map voting system on my gungame server. When ever my server gets a map vote up we all vote but after the game ends the map does not change to the one that was voted it changes to the next map in rotation. So what can my problem be? I am new at being our server tech so sorry if i sound like a noob but my clans server tech kinda left and I stepped up to fill the spot.

-Thanks

What else do you run on the server plugin wise? You also might want to check eventscripts_maphandler. I'm pretty sure it should be set to 0.

where would i find the eventscripts_maphandler? sorry like i said i am nub at this D:

You would type that in the console of the server and see what it comes back as. You do have a way to connect to your server console right?

would that be in my autoexec.cfg file?

where else would the server console be?

Um, if you don't know what the server console is I think you would do well to read up on it a bit. In order to run a server it helps to understand a little about them, especially if you want to run addons like gungame. I know you were made your server tech after another guy left but you really need a little more knowledge about servers to troubleshoot this. How do you add stuff to the server like gungame? Do you rent the server or is it running on someone's computer in a garage somewhere?

i know a little about the server and we are renting it.

As for the server console, here are the buttons given to me at our control panal
Default Config Files
File Manager
Server Status and Administration
Game Server Activity

i have looked through the server files in file manager and i see gungame and everything even map vote but i dont know where this server console is.

Also i dont know where to look to learn about servers.

http://srcds.com is a good place to start.

There is also a server viewer called HLSW that will let you view stuff in your server console. If you have RCON access you can also just open the client console in game by typing ~ and type rcon eventscripts_maphandler and it will echo back the value of it.

ok i went in the server and did everything you said to do
my eventscripts_maphandler was at 1 so i set it to 0 and still no change in the map even after the vote

also i went into the autoexec.cfg folder and put eventscripts_maphandler 0
but still no change.

anything else i can do?

I don't know anything else to try. I'll see if I can get one of the developers to take a look at this thread.

kk thank you

eventscripts_maphandler is automatically set to 1 by gg_map_vote.

I guess my questions are:

What do you have set up in the gg_map_vote.cfg as well as your gg_default_addons.cfg?

The gg_default_addons.cfg has 2 variables that I need to know about: gg_map_vote, and gg_map_vote_command.

Also, are you positive that you don't have another vote set up such as Mani, BeetlesMod, or SourceMod?
