More questions on a TF2 server

[reckon1973]

Sorry for being continously asking, but I'm really newbie with this.

When I launch the server using the console mode, I do get the following error messages, and I don't have idea how-to resolve this issues:

1. Particles: Missing 'particles/error.pfc'
2. exec: couldn't exec skill1.cfg
3. exec: couldn't exec cp_well.cfg

Any idea on any of these issues? Thanks in advance.

Thats normal.

So I understand are known issues, but the server should work in spite of those errors.

Thanks.

yes. They don't do anything other than annoying the guy that reads console.

These are 100% normal. I'm not sure what id means, but it always does that.

This means it cannot find a skill1.cfg file in your cfg folder. This isn't important UNLESS you have such a file and it isn't being read.

When you change to a map, srcds automatically runs a cfg file for the map. This allows for customizations per map and is quite useful. I use BM for this, but if you have no admin mod installed, you should probably atleast make a standard cfg for ctf and cp maps and make the MAP.cfg file exec them.

Thanks for the reply.

About the third point, could you please elaborate it a bit more? Where can I find an example for a map config file?

And, when you say BM, do you mean BeetleMod?

Thanks for everything.

Yes, BM is BeetlesMod
In your map.cfg files you can set different "end game" criteria.

Examples of cvars to set:

Code:

// start cvars for round and game times

mp_enableroundwaittime 1
// Enable or disable timers to wait between rounds. 0 is off 1 is on
mp_bonusroundtime 20
// Time after round win until round restarts (in seconds)
mp_restartround 20
// Time the current round will restart (in seconds)
mp_stalemate_timelimit 240
// Timelimit (in seconds) of the stalemate round
mp_timelimit 40
// game time per map in minutes
mp_stalemate_enable 1
// enables sudden death at the end of rounds

// end cvars for round and game times

// start cvars for win conditions

mp_maxrounds 5
// Max number of rounds to play before server changes maps
mp_winlimit 3
// Max number of rounds one team can win before a server changes maps

// end cvars for win conditions
