Hi,

Can anyone confirm that there may be a problem with g_excludedMaps.  It used to work, but I've noticed it doesn't seem to be working for us anymore, perhaps since 0.8.2?

 

This past week we had an alternate version of Fuel Dump up for map voting, and had this in our configs:

set g_excludedMaps ":fueldump:"

It still shows up in the list of maps to vote for. 

 

It is worth noting that fueldump is part of our standard rotation, when no one is on the server.   But, I remember this used to work, even though it was part of a rotation.  Can anyone confirm this is a problem, or is it something else in our configuration that might in play here.   Thanks.

Maybe you have set it in the g_includedMaps cvar.

I don't even have that cvar at all, so it should default to "".

 

These are my relevant voting settings:

g_mapVoteFlags "21"
g_maxMapsVotedFor "32"
g_minMapAge "8"
g_excludedMaps ":fueldump:"

Looking at the docs, I don't see a bit flag for 16 for g_mapVoteFlags, so I'm not sure why we have it at 21 (maybe a setting was removed)?   We haven't really touched these settings for a really long time.   Anyway, it's not a huge deal, but I wanted to see if anyone else observed this problem.

 

The only other script my server executes is a mapcycle script (for when no one is on the server):

 

    set d1 "set g_gametype 6 ; map oasis ; set nextmap vstr d2"
    set d2 "set g_gametype 6 ; map battery ; set nextmap vstr d3"
    set d3 "set g_gametype 6 ; map goldrush ; set nextmap vstr d4"
    set d4 "set g_gametype 6 ; map radar ; set nextmap vstr d5"
    set d5 "set g_gametype 6 ; map railgun ; set nextmap vstr d6"
    set d6 "set g_gametype 6 ; map fueldump ; set nextmap vstr d1"
    vstr d1

By any chance you are using player block in mapconfigs?  Can you try from rcon that command and see what it returns? 

[BECK]

Aw! I forgot all about that.  You're right, I guess that explains it.  Yes, I do have a player block in there, and that map is not part of that.  I completely forgot about that, thanks for help.
