Hi guys,

I'm setting up a dedicated lan-server with custom mutations.

I've created a AdminCustomMenu, where I can manage all my mutations and campaigns/maps, but I have some problems when the server changes map.

I'm using the command

sm_cvar map #2 #1

Where #2 is map and #1 is mutation. The mapchange and mutation works fine, but all clients are disconnected and have to reconnect manually.

I tried another solution where i used the

sm_map cvar

, but that doesn't seem to register the mutation

sm_map #2 #1

and only changes the map fine without any disconnects.

So I was wondering if it would be possible to run two commands after eachother in the the AdminCustomMenu > e.g.

sm_cvar mp_gamemode #1; sm_map #2;

but so far I havn't been able to do so (this one only changes gamemode)...


Hope anyone can help me here, I'd love not being disconnected running these commands.

Best regards
Tanis

Don't ever use the map command, as it disconnects all players (as you've found out).

Instead, use the changelevel command.

Don't think I mentioned it, but it's a Left4Dead2 server.

Can the changelevel command use mutations for L4D2?

[micazoid]

why not using sm_map instead? As powerlord daid, map is kicking all clients. I do not really know what mutation is, so I dunno if sm_map is also working. Just check with your console

Nevermind the sm_map thingi. Next I read the post completly..... promise

I'm not sure, I don't actually run L4D2 servers.

Would it be possible to run two commands within one menu?

Can you post that section of your custom admin menu? It doesn't have to be the whole file, just the section involving the map change.

Would be easier to help if we can see exactly what you have.


And yes, you can have 2 commands(or more) in one section.

Random example:

"cmd"  "sv_cheats 1; director_stop; z_spawn #1; z_common_limit #2; director_start"
"admin     "sm_kick"
"execute"     "server"
"1"
{
     "type"     "list"
     "title"     "Infected"
     "1"      "hunter"
     "1."     "Hunter"
     "2"      "boomer"
     "2."     "Boomer"
     "3"      "tank"
     "3."     "Tank"
     "3*"    "sm_ban"
     //Etc
}
"2"
{
     "type"     "list"
     "title"     "Common Limit"
     "1"     "30"
     "2"     "50"
     "3"     "250"
     //Etc
}

Here is a small section of the map/mutation selection:

		"Uncommon CoOp"
		{
			"cmd"	"sm_cvar mp_gamemode #1; sm_map #2"
			"1"
			{
				"type"		"list"
				"title"		"Choose Mutation"
				"1"		"biohazard"
				"1."	"Biohazard"
				"2"		"coulrophobia"
				"2."	"Coulrophobia"
				"3"		"deconstruction"
				"3."	"Deconstruction"
				"4"		"dirtnap"
				"4."	"Dirt Nap"
				"5"		"jimpocalypse"
				"5."	"Jimpocalypse"
				"6"		"riotcontrol"
				"6."	"Riot Control"
				"7"		"uncommonground"
				"7."	"Uncommon Ground"
			}
			"2"
			{
				"type"		"list"
				"title"		"Choose Campaign"
				"1"		"c1m1_hotel"
				"1."	"Dead Center"
				"2"		"c2m1_highway"
				"2."	"Dark Carnival"
				"3"		"c3m1_plankcountry"
				"3."	"Swamp Fever"
				"4"		"c4m1_milltown_a"
				"4."	"Hard Rain"
				"5"		"c5m1_waterfront"
				"5."	"The Parish"
				"6"		"c6m1_riverbank"
				"6."	"The Passing"
				"7"		"c7m1_docks"
				"7."	"The Sacrifice"
				"8"		"c8m1_apartment"
				"8."	"No Mercy"
				"9"		"c13m1_alpinecreek"
				"9."	"Cold Stream"
			}
		}

It's not very smooth, and I guess it could be made in a different way.


Is it possible to have more sub-menus? Or is it only 2 layered.

[Tylerst]

Hmm, I don't run my own L4D2 server so I can't test it, but your formatting is correct and the map names are correct, so I'm guessing it's a problem with mp_gamemode.

I thought that mp_gamemode was just for choosing the overall game mode IE coop/realism/etc, rather than specific mutations.


Could be wrong though, I don't have much experience with the mutations.

You might wanna try changelevel with map/mutation as stated above though if map worked for you
