installing maps

[speedkills]

I have read that 5 times still dont under stand it. just fix it god why wont you help a paying customer. are you pissin me off for a big joke?

If you give me the name of the custom map you uploaded, the other maps that you want in your cycle, and the game type you are running, I will attempt to generate a file for you that applies what you want and post it here.

I have already uploaded the map to map file. Map is de_sunny_csgo_b1 and I want to use it in the classic compeditive mode. Thank you.

You may need to rename it to de_sunny-csgo-b1 because if you have more than one "_" in the name it might not work for fast downloads (at least in previous versions -- Valve may have fixed this by now).

An example gamemodes_server.txt that runs the map under its current name, and makes no other changes to the server, would contain:

Code: Select all

// Values here override the default gamemodes.txt 

"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
  "gameTypes"
  {
    "classic"
    {
      "gameModes"
      {
        "competitive"
        {

          "mapgroupsMP"            // List of mapgroups valid for this game mode
          {
            "mg_custom"    ""
          }

        }
      }  
    }
  }
  "mapgroups"
  {
    "mg_custom"                  // mapgroup definition
    {
      "name"      "mg_custom"
      "maps"
      {
        "de_sunny_csgo_b1"     ""
      }
    }
  }
}

To implement this example, go to the "Easy setup" page and paste it into the "gamemodes_server.txt" text block. Then, change the default mapgroup to "mg_custom" and the starting map to "de_sunnycsgo_b1". Finally, submit the page and restart the server.

Thank you very much. Now that I can see it I see how it is layed out. About the names the one you installed for me is like this "de_sunny_csgo_b1" My next question is I'm trying to install westwood. It should be named like this : "de_westwood" or "de_westwood_se" like the other maps. or should it be like this "de_westwood.bsp". thanks again.

I keep getting errors on the ftp when I try this.

[Edge100x]

You could name it anything you'd like. The _se bit is just a naming convention to make them recognizable.

What are you trying to do in the FTP and what error are you receiving?

If you use Filezilla, make sure that it's not configured to open lots of connections: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =24&t=5364

[speedkills]

ok I got it now. did not notice the way the brakets were layed out. One I got hem right everything fell into place. Got Westwood and Nuke orriginal b3 working great and will do more later. That is all I need was to see how it went and I got it. Sorry I was such a a$$ but I was getting sick of your guys telling me no they will not help me. Thanks

Good to see

As unblievable as it may seem, it just gets harder and harder to get this with the filoe structure they provided.

I did a two day trail and got so bent out of shape and stressed that I canceled.

Waited a week and saw the update and the supposed EASIER to use files.

Now I too have been reading and looking and going back and forth to the login panel and the FTP client I use and reading several forums, but to no avail.

I have the server running competitive mode just fine.
Have all my varaibles I wish to use in place, and it's as smooth as NFO has been in the years past with them.....Thanks Guys!

But I can't see where the default maps/groups file is to see what is listed there.
And I keep reading in the login panel says to NOT change the gamemode.txt to use the gamemode_server.cfg or what ever, please allow me to forget while typing, I'm OLD!

Anyway, I'm wanting to play or have to ability to play de maps, cs maps ie: Italy and office....along with these........de_contra_csgo, de_mill_b1, de_mirage_go
I can add these to my adminmenu_mapslist.ini just fine.

But I can't for the life of me get the structure for making these darn mapsgroupMP things.

And my gamemodes_server.txt file is completly empty?

I would like some help and before opening a ticket with what looks like is my own in-ability to comprehend this, I wanted to post here to see who could help.

Thanks,
Bubba.

Ok, Ok, Ok.
Let me know if this looks correct.
I just dont wish to screw the server up and have to start over.

Code: Select all

// Values here override the default gamemodes.txt 

"GameModes_Server.txt"
{
  "gameTypes"
  {
    "classic"
    {
      "gameModes"
      {
        "competitive"
        {

          "mapgroupsMP"            // List of mapgroups valid for this game mode
          {
            "mg_custom"    ""
          }

        }
      }  
    }
  }
  "mapgroups"
  {
    "mg_custom"                  // mapgroup definition
    {
      "name"      "mg_custom"
      "maps"
      {
        "de_contra_csgo"     ""
        "de_mill_b1"         ""
        "de_mirage_go"       ""
        "de_dust"            ""
        "de_dust2"           ""
        "de_nuke"            ""
        "de_train"           ""
        "de_inferno"         ""
        "de_axtec"           ""
        "cs_italy"           ""
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks,
Bubba

Looks good to me bubba. And guys please understand that NFO will do whatever they can to HELP you (im not an employee but a customer that had my own issues albeit on a far more complicated level with plugins and mods). Time, Jordan, Joshua, Vanderburg, etc have bee nothing but good to me in my 6 or so tickets I've opened up in the past month but please remember to research other than here as well. While NFO is VERY knowledgeable about the way GO works, Valve really didn't make this an easy game to configure. If you join the dev email list you'll see that there are a lot of problems that Valve hasn't even come close to resolving yet.

A very pestilent issue involves MAPGROUPS. Be very careful about what maps you care to use in your servers from game banana and csgmaps as a ton of them are not exported correctly through hammer (CSGO map making software) and will simply crash your server whenever you attempt to load it. de_ maps are made for classic, ar_ fy_ gg_ etc are for armsrace or gungame (if you use gungame be aware that NFO doesn't offer it, so you're on your own for the most part. They can only offer bits and pieces as the plugin becomes more stable).

Also, read up on sourcemod and how to use commands in game. !admin will bring up a menu tree and you can direct change to your uploaded maps there as well as use your kick, slay, slap, freeze and so on.

I doesn't help your cause to come into the forums and just impatiently smack talk the people who are here to help you most. I've used plenty of other GSPs and none of them respond as fast and as efficiently as NFOs customer service does. So please, leave the immaturity and flaming at the login screen and treat these guys with some respect.

Question if you added custom maps,and your map group is mg_custom,Do you need to put mg_custom in your autoexe.cfg?
