Thread: Mefy's gametypes and the Map Info Mod

Hey all! Still cruising with 1.11 until I can get my reborn server functioning......

With a bit of fiddling and help from PurpleElephant and Splatterguts, my mefy's maplist is working! Thanks lads for recommendations.

Now, when I use the MapInfoMod in conjunction with Mefy's, I get a little hiccup.

I changed the mapinfo mod entry to reference "sv_extmaplist" instead of "sv_maplist", which works all fine.

Now, to build extra lists, mefy uses the "&" and "sv_extmaplist2.....etc" as in the below:

set sv_extmaplist "obj/obj_team1 obj/parabot_obj_ste-mere-eglise dm/mohdm1 &"
set sv_extmaplist1 "obj/The_Lost_Village dm/mohdm7 &"
set sv_extmaplist2 "obj/navarone dm/mohdm1 mohdm3 obj/obj_team4 &"
etc. etc....

Problem is, that with the Mapinfo mod, the "&" shows up as a "map" name in the list when it gets to the end of the line. So the output onscreen becomes "Nextmap is: &"

Can I write in some code into the mapinfo.scr further below that says something like "if an "&" appears, then ignore/goto next line"? or somesuch?
and do I need to also reference "sv_extmaplist1"; "sv_extmaplist2" etc somewhere in the mapinfo.scr?

Many thanks to you clever peoples.

Cheers,
Shane.

@Ryback that would only work for the 1st maplist, what about sv_extmaplist1 and sv_extmaplist2 etc

@ohGaz, you gave me an idea, ill make it compatible with most mefy maplist, including those with the ",ffa" or ",ftobj" in it

Hi

Try this one, it should cater for most if not all of mefy extmaplists

PS One problem i cant seem to get around is if you have the same map more then once in the maplist, because maplist mod doesnt no which map in the list your on, could be the first or the last etc. Ill try again later

@ryback: thanks mate. Appreciate your help as always. I'll tinker with that.

@purple: glad I'm giving out ideas! Looking forward to it

EDIT: awesome! Thanks purple for the expertise. I'll play with that tonight. Cheers.

You could even extend the mapinfo mod to include what gametype they will be playing with, if anyone ever has multple gametypes
