Hello to all in the forums. I am here to make a request for help in starting a One Flag CTF server for Open Arena.

I have tried to get it running several times and it doesn't seem to work for me. I have been running a Reactance mod for several months as well as a basic Excessive CTF server sometimes. For some reason though, I just can't get One Flag working.

Can anyone assist me with getting this started? I would greatly appreciate it because it seems like a really cool variation on regular CTF.

Thanks!

the only maps that currently work with 1flag as standard are the ones in the oneflagctf.txt file found in your q3/excessiveplus folder

q3ctf1 { 768; -636; 44 }
q3ctf2 { 56; -280; -96 }
q3ctf3 { 32; 576; 16 }
q3ctf4 { 320; 288; 16 }

mkbase { -16; 30; 24 }
mapel4b { 0; 0; 28 }

you can add more maps if you can work out the co-ordinates for where they can go!

i <3 1flag

let me know when you get the server up and running! (even if it's all the way in america, i might just have to give it a try!)

Hello in Great Britain!
Thanks for the reply and here's more info on my setup:
I am only running Excessiveplus on Open Arena not Quake 3 Arena.
I picked some maps that I wanted to use from baseOA map pk3s and made a oneflagctf.txt file with those maps listed. I also used the /where command in each of the maps to find a place for the neutral flag and added that info to the file for each map.
The server simply runs as a regular CTF game though - even though I have created a oneflagctf.txt file and specified One Flag CTF as the game type in my cfg.
I have yet to see anyone else running an Excessiveplus - One Flag CTF server for Open Arena. Is it possible that it only works for Q3A and not OA?

actually it is possible, mod is developed with q3a 1.32 point release in mind.

since the 1flag gametype is sortof a hack into regular ctf, i would safely assume it might fail to work on OA.

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!

what is the diff between OA and Q3A?
vile, i suggest you try and get hold of Q3A and then try that...

I'm only interested in running the mod for OpenArena. I don't have Q3A and OA is better because it's free (no piracy involved)!
I'm just sad that this mod doesn't seem to work with OA for OneFlagCTF. I can run the regular Excessive CTF just fine, so I thought maybe I was just a few config changes away from making it work.
I guess not though.
I'll keep checking back though just in case anyone has the answer.

Just checking in on this thread again in case anyone has some input that might make OneFlagCTF work for OpenArena.
