TF2 Server Problem

[Sugedog]

Hi, I need some help with my TF2 server. Please realize, that I am a complete idiot, when it comes to these things, so bare with me.

Okay...

I have an 18 slot server, that we are are attempting to convert to a Arena Server.

Problem is, when someone connects, it gives the choice to join Blue/Red, instead of just the "fight" option. When one joins a team, it just sits there in spectate.

this is what the config_arena.cfg looks like:

Code:

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).

hostname "Hell's Kitchen TF2 Arena server"

Again, I'm a beginner at all this, so any help would be appreciated.

The latest update changed the way Arena works. To restore the old system, set: tf_arena_use_queue 1

Ahh, I didn't realize the update changed that. I'd rather keep it the way it is after update, but it still does not let us spawn, it sits in a spectate view.

Are you sure at least 2 players joined a team? The game won't start with just one player. Other than that, I'm not sure what would cause that...

I just had 5 of us in the server, and it stayed in spectate, and still said waiting for players.

Alright, I got it figured out, but now I have a new question.

When the map starts, as soon as one team gets 3 wins, it will put a vote up for a new map, and when the team gets to 5 wins it changes, what is the command(s) to change that.

mp_maxrounds is set at 20, so I'm confused.
