Team,

Any ideas on how to properly configure the /sourcemod/configs/maplist.cfg in a way that allows all Admins to see every map on the server when they use !admin, server, choose maps ? Note: I also use Ultimate Map Chooser.

The /tf/cfg/maplist.txt and the /tf/cfg/mapcycle.txt file contain a list of 435 maps maps in mapcycle format.

Interesting note: If I change the entry under "sm_map menu" from: "file" "maplist.txt" to: "file" "none" (or any made up name) Admins can successfully see and select all maps from the !admin/server/choose maps menu. However, I get this error in the logs:

PHP Code:

L 08/28/2020 - 16:20:52: [nextmap.smx] FATAL: Cannot load map cycle. Nextmap not loaded.

Is there a way for Admins to see all maps without getting an error every map change?

content of maplists.cfg:

PHP Code:

/**
 * Use this file to configure map lists.
 *
 * Each section is a map list that plugins can use.  For example, the Admin Menu 
 * requests an "admin menu" map list, and you can control which maps appear via 
 * this file.
 *
 * Each section must have a property that explains where to read the maps from.
 * There are two properties:
 *
 *    target         - Redirect the request to another section.
 *    file             - Read a file of map names, in mapcycle.txt format.
 *
 * There is one section by default, called "mapcyclefile" - it is mapped to the 
 * mapcycle.txt file, or whatever the contents of your mapcyclefile cvar is.
 *
 * If a plugin requests a map list file which doesn't exist, or is empty, SourceMod 
 * tries the "default" section, and then the "mapcyclefile" section.
 */
"MapLists"
{
    /**
     * Default requests go right to the mapcyclefile.
     */
    "default"
    {
        "target"        "umc_mapcycle.txt"
    }

    {
        "file"        "maplist.txt"
    }

    {
        "file"            "default"
    }
    
    /* For the "randomcycle" plugin */
    "randomcycle"
    {
        "target"        "default"

It depends plugins.

Like SourceMod Base Commands Map Menu
https://github.com/alliedmodders/sou...ds/map.sp#L144

ReadMapList use flag MAPLIST_FLAG_MAPSFOLDER, on failure to find map list file (like by default "addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini"),
it will list all maps from maps folder.

-

I don't see Ultimate Map Chooser using ReadMapList().

-

There is server command: maps *

Bacardi... I appreciate the response but it doesn't resolve the issue.

Question: How can I get the contents of maplist.txt to be shown when an Admin uses the !admin/server/choose maps menu option?

[Bacardi]

ok.

I just now noticed you have some errors in ...addons/sourcemod/configs/maplists.cfg

- Use "file" key name to point file, under game mod folder. example:

...
	/* Admin menu, map menu */
	"sm_map menu"
	{
		"file"			"cfg/maplist.txt"
	}
...

- Use "target" key name to point one of keyvalue section inside maplists.cfg or "mapcyclefile" cvar. example:

"MapLists"
{
	/**
	 * Default requests go right to the mapcyclefile.
	 */
	"default"
	{
		"target"		"mapcyclefile"
	}
	
	/* Admin menu, map menu */
	"sm_map menu"
	{
		"file"			"addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini"
	}
	
	/* Admin menu, map voting menu */
	"sm_votemap menu"
	{
		"file"			"addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini"
	}
	
	/* For the "randomcycle" plugin */
	"randomcycle"
	{
		"target"		"default"
	}
	
	/* For the "mapchooser" plugin */
	"mapchooser"
	{
		"target"		"default"
	}
	
	/* For the "nominations" plugin */
	"nominations"
	{
		"target"		"mapchooser"
	}
}

In game there is convar called "mapcyclefile", you can change map cycle file if you like, by default it's mapcycle.txt
- File works from either ...tf/ folder or ...tf/cfg/ folder.

"mapcyclefile" = "mapcycle.txt"
 game
 - Name of the .txt file used to cycle the maps on multiplayer servers

---------------------------


About nextmap plugin error.
Either map cycle file is empty, filled wrong map names or file format wrong (new lines characters are wrong type).
Could you upload that file in your post ? maplist.txt and mapcycle.txt




-----

I give you fixed maplists.cfg


*edit
Don't use [UMC3] Ultimate Mapchooser map list umc_mapcycle.txt in config!
It's totally different map list format.

Problem solved. Thanks Bacardi!

Solution was to change from this:

PHP Code:

...
    /* Admin menu, map menu */
    "sm_map menu"
    {
        "file"            "maplist.txt"
    }
... 


To this:

PHP Code:

...
    /* Admin menu, map menu */
    "sm_map menu"
    {
        "file"            "cfg/maplist.txt"
    }
... 


Which is very odd since the maplist.txt file with all server maps already existed in /tf/ , /tf/cfg/, /tf/sourcemod/configs/ directories. Oh well... It's working now thanks to you Bacardi. Thanks!
