I want my server to run custom maps only after i deleted all the normal maps that comes with DoD from the maps.ini, i restarted the server but it always begins with dod_anzio, i placed a few normal maps in the mapcycle and maplist, maps like anzio, avalanche and kalt just for scrims. Does anyone knows how can i make it not to start with anzio? :D

with gameservers you need to log in to your cpanel, make a support ticket, and ask them to add that command above to your servers startup command line.rnrn+map name_of_maprnrnthey dont allow shell access without a dedicated package, however, their support system takes moments to get a reply.

If you want your server to start with avalanche or whatever map add the below in your server.cfg. Change the map name to whatever you want it to load on of course.rnrnmap dod_avalanche

i found putting it in the server.cfg can be bad on some occasions...nnlike i would have the map changing to something else.. and the server.cfg would get read (oddly enough only now and then lol) and switch it to avalanche instead of whatever map it was going to..nnnbut ya putting in a support ticket to GS is what i did for mine...nn*on a side note.. ticket response might be fast tonight lol.. i put in a ticket to have my ftp rebooted, and i got a reply (and the ftp rebooted) within 2 minutes lol

I think that the autoexec.cfg is only called the first time the server starts up. So if you put the map into the autoexec.cfg you should be good go! Maybe!nnCheers!

They never crash mine. The only time it does is when I dont have all the files for a map or plugin or... when I have screwed a cfg up somewhere.

This will cause the bots to not load at all or malfunction.nnYou need to load metamod and let metamod load shrikebot.nnThe way it would happen without the line being commented out is that it would try to load both of these and fail... only loading metamod and being conflicted with the shrikebots. At least that is my understanding of what happens. nnFailed on mine right up until I made sure that the lines were commented out.nnLet me know what you get from here. I will help as much as I can.

Then we make a reference in metamod that loads amxmodx and shrikebot.nnEasy but frustrating.

I realize this isn't a thing everyone can do, but I have a script that rotates my starting maps for me. It is my shutdown script as I only run the server on Friday and Saturday nights and I have it on cron to shut down at 6:00 the following morning. The script takes the first map in my mapcycle.txt, moves it to the bottom of the order and prints that map name to a file. My startup script then reads that map name from the file the next time I start that mod. Hey presto, rotated maps! I run eight different mods, and half of them still run Admin Mod, and the shutdown script also copies the contents of the mapcycle.txt to the maps.ini file for Admin Mod, and for both servers that run Admin Mod and those that run AMX Mod X, I use Blatt Map, or Deagle's AMXX equivalent, and the script clears the last maps played file as well so that starts out clean with every new game night.nnIt's all pretty simple stuff, but I'm a coding and Linux nOOb, so getting it all working made me pretty happy... :)
