Commander Mode not working

Post by HoLyCoW »

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this stupid commander mode working. I don't know what's going on. I see it working on many many other servers in battlelog, but ours won't work. I've tried all kinds of configurations.

All I want is a Ranked Normal server running Commander mode. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Commander mode should be enabled by default for game modes which support it. Which game mode are you running?

I'm running my server as a Normal Ranked server.

When I even do vars.commander in rcon, the server returns true. But commander mode never comes up when we're playing.

commander isn't an actual gamemode, though. I am referring to conquest, rush..etc.

If I remember correctly commands are only supported in conquest.

Well, when I do a search on Battlelog, I see servers using Conquest, Conquest Large, Rush, and Obliteration all with commander mode enabled.

I don't use Conquest Large on my server, but in Conquest and Rush, commander mode is still not enabled.

[edit]
Okay, looks like I got it working for Conquest and Rush. I had to removed the other game modes. Now I'm gonna try adding in the other game modes again, one-by-one.

So, I went through every map and mode, except for Conquest Large (since I don't use it on my server).
On my server, it seems that Commander only works on:
Conquest
Obliteration
Rush

As a side note, I found out that

Code: Select all

vars.alwaysAllowSpectators
sets the server as Custom even though you have

Code: Select all

vars.preset Normal true
in the startup.txt AFTER it.

Can someone else please verify my findings please?!?!

Apparently, on my server, in order to have Commander Mode enabled, I can only use commander mode-enabled modes in the map cycle. This means that if I want Commander Mode enabled on my server, I can only use Conquest, Rush, and Obliteration modes on my server.

As soon as I add a map with Domination, Defuse, Squad Deathmatch, or Team Deathmatch, I lose all ability to have Commander Mode enabled (even on Conquest, Rush, or Obliteration).

You are correct. If you add a map that does not support commanders it removes commanders from all gametypes because the server will not change the player slots without a restart.
