I got sick of manually typing list of maps for my Openarena server, especially tracking all the numbers! So I sat down for half an hour and created a simple tool to generate that list! Incidentally, the tool also works for any other ioquake3-based game, so I'm posting it here as well!
Features:
* Reliably generate a map list
* Start from any number, not just 0
* Increment numbers by 5 if you'd like (useful if you're inserting more maps in between later)
Here it is:
http://oa.thedimi.net/tools/maplist-generator.php
I'll also post the source code below in case my server goes down:
- Code: Select all
<?php
if (!empty($_REQUEST['source']))
{
echo "<pre>";
echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));
echo "</pre>";
die();
}

<b>Openarena Map List Generator</b>
Put your list of maps in the textbox below, one map per line. Click submit, and you'll get a list of maps ready to go
into maps.cfg for your Openarena server. Also works for any Quake 3 or ioquake3 based games. Enjoy!
<b>*Note:</b> <i>No more than 150 entries allowed, and each entry will be cut off at 50 characters!</i>
<b>*Note:</b> <i>You can also <a target="_blank" href="<?php echo $PHP_SELF . "?source=1"; ?>">view source</a> of this tool!</i>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
<textarea name="maps" cols="80" rows="20"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['maps']); ?></textarea>
(optional) start count at: <input type="text" name="start" value="<?php echo (empty($_REQUEST['start'])) ? 0 : htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['start']);
?>"></input> (0 - 1000)
(optional) skip 5 numbers each count: <input type="checkbox" name="skip" value="surewhynot"<?php echo (isset($_REQUEST['skip'])) ? ' checked="checked"' : ' '; ?>></input>
<input type="submit" value=" Submit "></input>

However I did think that they are both based on ioquake3 (and haven't really confirmed that). What led me to think that is the fact that they all share the master server list provider (dpmaster.deathmask.net).
