Ok, I started a server in E+(Excessive Plus CTF USA {FUC} and I'm stuck on a few things:

1.) Is E+ unlagged in itself, or do I need to add an unlagged file in my server cfg?

2.) I want to have a 5 map rotation and I've created the cfg for it, but the server just stays on CTF1. I know when I type "vstr d2" in the game console it goes to that map, but it won't load automatically. Here is the verbage used:

//Map List

set d1 "map q3ctf1 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3tourney6_ctf ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3ctf2 ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "map q3ctf3 ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "map q3ctf4 ; set nextmap vstr d1" //Back to Top

vstr d1

This is what it says in my rotation txt in the excessive Plus section:

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

// comment
# comment

// this will be executed before each map

set d1 "map q3ctf1 ; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "map q3tourney6_ctf ; set nextmap vstr d3"
set d3 "map q3ctf2 ; set nextmap vstr d4"
set d4 "map q3ctf3 ; set nextmap vstr d5"
set d5 "map q3ctf4 ; set nextmap vstr d1" //Back to Top
vstr d1 {
g_gametype: 4
timelimit: 20
capturelimit: 10
/load conf/excessive5
}

Did I do something wrong, or does this have to be placed somewhere else, if at all?

yes u made something wrong

write in server.cfg
xp_unlagged 1

and rotation works different as in pants

u need just to write the maps u want, under:

//Maplist
map 1
map 3
map 4
.... without any vstr and so on...

// misc
seta sv_hostname "Excessive Plus CTF USA {FUC}"
seta sv_maxclients "16"
seta sv_maxrate "25000"
seta g_gametype "4"
seta bot_minplayers "0"
seta ex_quadstart "0"
seta xp_unlagged "1"
pb_sv_disable

// works only here. in-game its: "/rcon load conf/excessive3"
//seta xp_config "conf/excessive5"

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

// Set Mapcycle
map q3ctf1
map q3tourney6_ctf
map q3ctf2
map q3ctf3
map q3ctf4

Ok, I followed what you said Edy but now the server won't load up...LOL

Here is everything in my server.cfg (GAME SERVER ROOT\EXCESSIVEPLUS\SERVER.CFG)

// misc
seta sv_hostname "Excessive Plus CTF USA {FUC}"
seta sv_maxclients "16"
seta sv_maxrate "25000"
seta g_gametype "4"
seta bot_minplayers "0"
seta ex_quadstart "0"
seta xp_unlagged "1"
seta xp_rotation "rotationctf."
pb_sv_disable

// works only here. in-game its: "/rcon load conf/excessive3"
//seta xp_config "conf/excessive5"

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

************************************

Now this is what my rotation.txt (GAME SERVER ROOT\EXCESSIVEPLUS\ROTATION.TXT) says:

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

// comment
# comment

// this will be executed before each map
timelimit: 20
capturelimit: 8
g_gametype: 4

q3ctf1 {
capturelimit: 10
}

q3tourney6_ctf
q3ctf2
q3ctf3
q3ctf4

************************************

I thought I followed what you said, I'm sure I did something wrong...

Ok, I got everything working with the server with the exception of one thing:

I can't seem to get the unlagged verbage; seta xp_unlagged "1" to actually work. It's set in my server.cfg and when I go into the q3config.cfg and try changing it, it just resets itself once I restart the server. For some reason it goes back to seta xp_unlagged "0" when I restart the server (q3config.cfg).

Now I can set this "in-game" but it changes once the map changes. How can I change this so I can have it permentally set in my server cfg w/o it changing?

it have to stay in the config u use, excessive3, excessive4 or excessive.cfg, there u have to place the unlagged

u should use a other config name for it, that it stay in, for example suc.cfg

Because

- That some configurations are now static (pure) and unchangeable! which ensures a compatibility between different servers! If you join a server running i.e. the 'excessive3.cfg' you can be 100% sure that it is the unchanged 'excessive3.cfg'!
