I have a problem and hope some of you can help out. I tried the search, but to no avail.

PROBLEM: Even though I have g_gametype "4" set in my config, when I start the bat file, it'll first start up with CTF, then initiates a shutdown, and comes back up as DM gametype. This is NOT a situation where it's ctf for the first map and then switches to some other gametypes for subsequent maps.

Contents of Dedicated_CTF.bat
start quake3.exe +set fs_game excessiveplus +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg

contents of server.cfg
// misc
// set rconpassword ""
// set sv_hostname "Excessive Plus v1.03 BETA"
// set sv_maxclients "10"
// set sv_maxrate "8000"
set g_gametype "4"
// set bot_minplayers "2"

// works only here. in-game its: "/rcon load conf/excessive3"
set xp_config "conf/excessive4"

// map rotation (see rotation.txt)
// this is needed to start the rotation
// test_bigbox is good because it tiny
// map test_bigbox

Those are the defaults, I believe. Only thing I changed was to use excessive4 and g_gametype to 4.

Thanks for reading, and any sugguestions would be appreciated.

Check your rotation.txt?

-----------
/ this will be executed before each map
timelimit: 20
capturelimit: 10
g_gametype: 4

-----------

What i do with my roatation.txt is make a list of maps one at a time with varibles i can change, this allows me to use diffrent cfg files on each map if i want including change the capture time "ctf" game time, and frag time, also lets me change the game type on each map.

It's alot of typing but copy and paste come in handy.

This is just an example, i dont use this exact setup but just to give you an idea what i'm talking about:

# Excessive Plus for Quake III Arena
#
# www.excessiveplus.net

// comment
# comment

// this will be executed before each map
q3ctf1 {
g_gametype: 4
timelimit: 15
capturelimit: 10
/load conf/xp
}

q3dn17 {
g_gametype: 0
timelimit: 20
fraglimit: 50
/load conf/railonly
}

q3ctf3 {
g_gametype: 6
timelimit: 15
capturelimit: 15
/load conf/excessive3
}

q3dn9 {
g_gametype: 0
timelimit: 20
fraglimit: 10
/load conf/bfgonly
}

// this will be ffa! remember the "g_gametype: 0"
q3ctf4

There is no such thing as a dumb question, but there is a such thing as a dumb answer......

Check the original server.cfg that came with the 1.02 release. If I recall right sv_hostname said something like "Excessive Plus v1.03 beta" by default.
