TF2 Arena maps changes my server settings

|-BGZ-| RICH@RD · **Author**

Hey everyone,

I run a payload server for TF2 and last night at the request of some people I changed the map to an arena map. Now my server name has changed to arena and it keeps switching back to arena. Can someone tell me how to disable it completely?

Restart the server and it should load your server.cfg
Arena has it's own config file that gets loaded.

That worked. Thank you W][LDF][RE!

If you go to an arena map again, it will do the same thing. I recommend that you you edit the file config_arena.cfg. You'll find it in the /orangebox/ft/cfg folder.

Below is an example config_arena.cfg from my custom map server. We switch between all map types with no problem.

Code:

hostname "Put your Server Name HERE!"
 
maxplayers 24 // Team sizes are derived from maxplayers. Each arena match has 3 teams, two playing and one waiting in the queue. So maxplayers 18 will give you a max team size of 6 (18/3).
 
mp_timelimit 30 // time in minutes
 
mapcyclefile "mapcycle.txt" // include all types of maps, arena, ctf, pl , cp
mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg" // your usual cfg file
 
mp_restartround 0
mp_winlimit "5"
mp_maxrounds "20"
tf_arena_preround_time "15"
