I have tried to do everything other than ask here. I have read all the docs, tried searching the site, googled, everything. I am sure this question is going to aggravate someone. Sorry. I have no other choice. Crying

I've been playing quake3 and using your mod every winter for quite a few years. I usually set up a server every winter for lan play. I never had this problem before but for some reason, rotation.txt stops at the last map and will not loop. I use to be able to start the server and let is sit all winter. Allowing players to join at their leisure.

Has something changed with this last update that would stop the loop from performing? Here is a sample of my rotation.txt. Please help if you can. And I'm sorry for asking such a n00b question for the millionth time.

[code:1]
set d1 "set g_gametype 0; kick allbots; map q3dm1; set nextmap vstr d2"
set d2 "set g_gametype 0; kick allbots; map q3dm2; set nextmap vstr d3"
...
...
set d23 "set g_gametype 0; kick allbots; map q3dm18; set nextmap vstr d24"
set d24 "set g_gametype 0; kick allbots; map q3dm19; set nextmap vstr d25"
set d25 "set g_gametype 0; kick allbots; map q3tourney6; set nextmap vstr d1"
wait
vstr d1[/code:1]

Boink !

rotation.txt can handle only a few maps (about 6-8 im not sure) anything more will make it act erraticly (no rotation at all, or wierd stuff).

if you need more maps you will have to seti it up over VSTR.

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

Never mind. Thanks for the help. I figured out how I had it set before. I got all 25 maps to rotate and loop. I removed "vstr d1" and "wait" from the last lines. Now it loops back to d1 on its own.

Thanks much!!
