i need help with my arena server it dosent start?

[KFC]

In team fortress 2 team arena there are 3 individual teams. While 2 teams are playing against each other the 3rd team is waiting in-line to play after the first 2 teams are done. You need to set the number of max players according to the max players of your game server.

Connect to your game server FTP and find your way to the /cfg folder of team fortress 2. Download the file called config_arena.cfg and open it with any text editor to change the max players number. You can also re-name the server name by changing where it says team fortress arena server. Because the noob gamers tf2 server is not going to be a 24/7 arena server i have set it up so that once an arena map is done. The server can go back to it's original map rotation. For this i changed where it says arena_mapcycle.txt to mapcycle.txt

Once you are done making the necessary changes upload config_arena.cfg file back to the /cfg folder.

Restart the server or change the map to an arena map to test it out.

Quote:maxplayers 18 // Team sizes are derived from maxplayers. Each arena match has 3 teams, two playing and one waiting in the queue. So maxplayers 18 will give you a max team size of 6 (18/3).
