Same thing happened to us on Baserace 2 and Baserace 3 using etadmin to do a shuflleteamsxp_norestart at the end of every map. We thought it was isolated to that map and so made a special config for that map removing the shuffle. However, we later noticed that it happened on password and tram as wel...

Doesn't tha then allow them to use any cheats?

If you delete the etconfig.cfg in your profile directory, everything should go back to default. In the future, always make a backup before you start changing things. Also, it is smart to load all of your settings from a config file instead of counting on etconfig.cfg. That way, you akways know what ...

And when you start the game and join up it will create one anyway, so quite a worthless command.

It wasn't providing the desired results. It does the shuffle at the beginning of the map and one team loses an entire spawn cycle. Maybe I am just over-complicating things, I dunno. We have abandoned the idea for now and just shuffle at the end using etadmin.

Also check if there is a lot of dust in the case, especially in the fans. I had to move my PC on top of my desk instead inside the intended spot because it wasn't getting enough air there.

Thanks.

So is there any way to automate laoding a .config file or does it have to be loaded after the server has started?

What is so hard to have a separate install for server testing and running it dedicated with a real server config and campaign using only the files you would actually have on the server? That is the only way you can trully test that your server config will work properly anyway. Goig through the GUI s...

Thanks Bani et al

It is the last thing loaded, but I don't know.

Yeah, the pb_task doesn't do anything. Once the config is loaded it runs at the beginning of every map, so loading it again doesn't do anything. I will look into putting a wait to get it to run when I want and hopefully get it working. Edit: I can't get consistant behavior out of this. It seems like...

Ok, I got it recognized and everything, but it doesn't seem to do anything when it runs. I RCONed it to the server while it was running and it did a shuffle WITH RESTART! :/ I think that I give up. configname "shuffle" init { } map default { command "ref shuffleteamsxp_norestart"...

Where does this file go and what does it have to be named?
