How do I set my server name and mapcycle?

Post by Edge100x »

To do this, you'll need to edit the "server.cfg" file through your "File manager" page. This file can also be found in the "base" folder of your FTP (you can get to your FTP via the information on the "File manager" page).

The server name is set near the top. The default line looks like this:

Code: Select all

si_name "NFOservers.com: New server"
You can set the starting map at the bottom of the file. The default line is:

Code: Select all

spawnServer mp/aquarium.entities
These are all the maps that Brink currently supports in regular multiplayer mode:

mp/aquarium
mp/ccity
mp/reactor
mp/refuel
mp/resort
mp/sectow
mp/shipyard
mp/terminal

You can set your own map rotation for "Objective" or "Stopwatch" games only. To do this, add a line containing the maps to your server.cfg, such as this:

Code: Select all

g_mapRotationFixed "mp/ccity, mp/aquarium, mp/refuel"
Instead of a fixed cycle, you can allow clients to vote on a list of maps at the end of each match, with a line like this:

Code: Select all

g_mapRotationVote "mp/ccity, mp/aquarium, mp/refuel"
