Seems you are not running any map, check if you start a map in your server.cfg or if there's a line at the end of it that reads "exec campaigncycle.cfg" or any other cfg file which selects maps.

exec campaigncycle.cfg

and campaigncycle.cfg is:

set d1 "campaign cmpgn_northafrica ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
set d2 "campaign cmpgn_centraleurope ; set nextcampaign vstr d1"

// server doesn't recognise the campaign command when the gamecode isn't running yet.
set d_initial "set g_gametype 4 ; map oasis ; set nextcampaign vstr d2"
vstr d_initial

remove the bold part and put in
vstr d1
your starting with a campaign of 1 map... which is causing problems

Fenris · Post by **Fenris** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 10:54 am

Hm, thought you needed to specify the map in the campaign, since you cannot start a campaign directly, it's in the commented line "server doesn't recognise the campaign command when the gamecode isn't running yet" so I see nothing wrong with the campaigncycle itself.

Ronner: Could you specify the command line you use to start the server itself.

Ronner · Post by **Ronner** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 12:42 pm

well.. i just execute etded... inside etded is a cd command that changes the dir to where ET is installed and then executes the binary.

oh and the stuff you said gotenks didn't work as well... same story...

if you want I can give you access to the machine itself to help us out... get my on msn ro_nn_er@hotmail.com
