China Rising

Post by Cain »

For the first time I'm attempting to run all China Rising maps.

I'm using the NFO map cycler, CQ64.

the first map that ran however was Siege of Shanghai???

Do I need to pick Air superiority to run CR maps?? <scratching head>

In additional settings do you have the Preset map cycle: set to (use your map cycle) ?

Just match them both --> Don't use "use your own"...

Just use "CR only" and u don't need to choose AS...

No matter what I do, the first map after a reboot is siege of shanghai ...

Any thoughts on how to fix that?

have you tried rotating the maps a few times to see if CR picks up?

I put 1 round of cr only (first) and 1 round (base) and I do not use random all... Works for me...

Cain, if you use a preset map cycle, the game will always boot up with the map from the beginning of that, because it ignores the map cycle file. That first map is most likely Shanghai. However, if you use our cycler to define your own, our system is designed to automatically switch you away from that first map within a minute, transitioning to the one that you want the server to actually start with instead.

Thx John.

I use the NFO "mapcycler", but I do use the "Preset Mapcycle: Conquest Classics" it was my understanding I had to do that in order to get the Quick connect traffic??

The NFO mapcycler has always been a mystery to me. The start map is always the second or third from the bottom, I've never been able to get the start map to be the actual map I want to start.

Is there some trick to getting the start map to being the one you want??

You are correct, Cain. I switched ours back to Official yesterday and used the NFO map cycler only to find it loaded the 7th map down on the list.

Glad that is not just me, I would love for the NFO mapcycler to load the FIRST map in the list as the start map, or perhaps give us some other way to reliably set the start map...

Also, Cris, the first map to load depends on how many maps are in the map cycler, and which map it is.

Grrrrrr..

This is due to the preset mapcycle, If I remember correctly it's a game bug and using our mapcycle allows you to run your own map cycle while still staying official and without going custom.

Perhaps NFO can figure out a way for us to set the Start map, when using the map cycler??

The cycler should pick up where it left off when the server is restarted. That is, the next map played should be the one that was going to be next when the server was last running.

So how do I set a start map, that will always be the start map, either when I manually restart, or the server crashes??

I want a fixed start map, and I suspect others do as well.
