Changing from FFA map to OBJ map, not possible?

**Midnight1138** · July 4th, 2016, 09:10 AM

Hi all,

I realize this may be asked before but after extensive research online I ask your help for this problem, if it's possible at all...
I'm running a FFA server, single map in the rotation (Stalingrad only).
Sometimes players ask me to load the V2 Rocket map, but as we all know this gives the infamous "Cannot load an OBJ map in FFA mode" error.

Things I tried are adding the "seta g_gametype 1" cvar in the V2 mapscript and also the Mixed gametypes mod from Mefy.
But those kind of mods rely on a maprotation with at least 2 maps in it so it still doesn't work.

So my question is, does anyone know of some kind of trick where I can load the V2 rocketmap directly from Stalingrad, even with a one-map maprotation?
Maybe Reborn has a command or script around this limitation?

Any help is much welcome and appreciated.

Thanks guys

I usually use mefy's gametypes package which saves alot of headache.

I know about Mefy's Mixed Gametype mod, but as I said that unfortunatly doesn't work with only 1 map in the rotation...
Anyone knows of anything else I could try, guys?

try renaming all the v2 files to dm stick it in a dm map folder add setcvar g_gametype 1 to v2 map.scr. I did that with DV_snow map was only dm and I added objectives to it work like a charm, don't know if it would work with stock map or not.

Have you tried just setting the
set sv_extmaplist "dm/mohdm6,ffa obj/obj_team2,obj"
Right before you change maps, then force map end, by say changing fraglimit to 1, Then it will load v2

Then to just go back to ffa, exec your server.cfg again.That is one way using mefys mod to achvieve what you are doing.

So your commands would look something like this

Code:

rcon set sv_extmaplist  "dm/mohdm6,ffa obj/obj_team2,obj"
rcon timelimit 0 // 
rcon roundlimit 5 //etc you need to set for objective games
rcon fraglimit 1 // to force ffa map to end ( providing at least one person has a kill ) 
//*switches to v2*
//Then to go back to FFA, just execute your server.cfg again
rcon exec server.cfg
