how to set/change time-/fraglimit on dedicated server?

[pete.dawgg]

i'm running a dedicated server (trying to) and want to set an arbitrary time- or fraglimit. no matter what i put into the server.cfg it's always only one minute.
how can i set an arbitrary fraglimit and completely disable the timelimit (and maybe vice-versa)?
this is the (whole) server.cfg:

Code: Select all

set "port" "26000"
set "hostname" "D4W99ze N3XD3D"
set "sv_public" "0"
set "sv_maxrate" "1000000"
set "sv_motd" "Step in & get FR4993D"
set "sys_ticrate" "0.01"
set "g_gametype" "ctf"
set "log_file" "server.log"

// frag-/timelimit
set "g_timelimit_override" "1"
set "g_fraglimit_override" "1"
set "g_timelimit" "0"
set "g_fraglimit" "100"

set "sv_clientcommands" "1"
set "sv_clientcommands_password" "sick-redd"
set "rcon_password" "N3X1"

set "g_grappling_hook" "0"

set "g_balance_teams" "0"
set "g_balance_teams_force" "0"

set "sv_vote_commands" "restart timelimit fraglimit chmap g_grappling_hook sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green s
v_defaultplayer_fbskin_red sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_orange sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_off"
set "sv_vote_call" "1"
set "sv_vote_master" "1"
set "sv_vote_timeout" "300"
set "sv_vote_wait" "120"

set "sv_ready_restart" "0"
set "sv_autoscreenshot" "0"

set "g_antilag" "1"

set "sv_defaultcharacter" "0"
set "sv_defaultplayermodel" "models/player/nexus.zym"
set "sv_defaultplayerskin" "0"
set "g_fullbrightplayers" "1"
set "g_fullbrightitems" "1"

set "bot_number" "8"
set "skill" "6"
set "minplayers" "10"
set "maxplayers" "12"
set "g_maxplayers" "8"

// 3 ctf-maps
set "g_maplist" "basementctf dismal runningmanctf"

//set "g_maplist" "dm_nexdm01 dm_nexdm02 dm_nexdm03 dm_nexdm04 dm_nexdm05 dm_nexdm06 dm_nexdm07 dm_nexdm08
dm_nexdm09 dm_nexdm10 dm_nexdm11 dm_nexdm12 dm_nexdm13 dm_nexdm14 dm_nexdm15 dm_nexdm16 dm_nexdm17 dm_nex
dm18 dm_nexdm18_1on1remix dm_nexdmextra1 dm_nexdmextra2"
set "g_maplist_selectrandom" "0"

set "g_maplist_votable" "0"

set "sv_ready_restart" "1"

alias "set_first" "set $1 $2"
set_first "g_maplist_first" "$g_maplist"
alias "startmap_dm" "chmap $g_maplist_first

the frag-/timelimit-part does not change anything.
(it's a lan-only dedicated linux-server for 2 ppl during breaks at work)
thank you for your help!

Well first of all i'd advice you to CHANGE those passwords ASAP in case they are real, which i'm not sure off i doubt you want anyone to know your passwords.

Then maybe you should use the files in Docs/server (i take it you already have 2.4 from the g_maplist) which have changed quite a lot since the days when stuff like set_first in that config file was needed.

Then again the variables timelimit/fraglimit are not used (only during a match/map) so use fraglimit_override / timelimit_override instead (0 = no limit)
i wonder why you use g_timelimit_override 1 and even more so.. why it seems to work???? g_timelimit / g_fraglimit is just as wrong.

BTW i edited server.cfg for 2.4.1 to make it more logical...

thx for the quick answer.

Well first of all i'd advice you to CHANGE those passwords ASAP in case they are real, which i'm not sure off

thx for the concern but they're not real and i doubt anyone reading these forums might ever have access to the network these boxes are in.

i don't know much (==sh*t) about nexuiz-server and i gathered all the info i got from different forums/posts that do not always state the version the configs are for. i also read the docs but in my case that didn't help:

Code: Select all

ice@gen2-new ~ $ bzcat /usr/share/doc/nexuiz-2.4/server/* | grep -iE 'timelimit|fraglimit'
//sv_vote_commands "restart timelimit fraglimit chmap gotomap g_grappling_hook sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_green sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_red sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_orange sv_defaultplayer_fbskin_off" // players can vote for those commands or use them if they are masters

i thought timelimit_override was boolean so i "switched it on" and set it to a value (or so i thought).

so use fraglimit_override / timelimit_override instead (0 = no limit)

this works for time but not for frags;

Code: Select all

set "timelimit_override" "0"
set "fraglimit_override" "100"

in my server.cfg disables the timelimit but frags ist still at 80 (acc. to server.log; did not check in IN the game)

i'd like to set up the server so it just changes maps after, say, 100 frags (but i could live with 80, too).

[esteel]

No the _override variables are NOT boolean.. they specify the time/points limit to use!
so timelimit_override 1 would be timelimit of 1 minute!

timelimit_override 0
fraglimit_override 0
would mean play the map forever

timelimit_override 10
fraglimit_override 0
would mean play the map for 10 minutes, no matter how many frags / points there are

timelimit_override 0
fraglimit_override 100
would mean play the map for ever or someone / a team gets 100 frags / points.
I have no idea why you think it would stop at 80. However note that in modes like CTF or KH captures also count as frags..

timelimit_override 10
fraglimit_override 100
would mean play the map for at most 10 minutes or till someone / a team gets 100 frags / points.

I reworded the server.cfg for 2.4.1 a bit to make stuff like this clearer. Maybe i should make this frag/timelimit even clearer? the current version looks like this:

Code: Select all

// characters like space, semicolon (seperates commands) or starts
// with // (begins a comment for the rest of the line or next
// semicolon).  While just "" means 'no/empty setting".

(i was on vacation for 2 weeks and just now looked at my "old post)
yeah, thx, that is MUCH clearer. i'll work my way thru it and if anything is incomprehensible i'll post back.
