Tickets do not stick!

[[WDT]TardFarmer]

Thanks for your help!

Yes when you enable or disable the NFO normal preset it overwrites the admin/startup.txt So I had to disable the normal mode daemon option then add the cfg below to my startup:

vars.maxSpectators 0
vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed true
vars.3dSpotting true
vars.miniMap true
vars.killCam true
vars.3pCam true
vars.regenerateHealth true
vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn false
vars.nameTag true
vars.hud true
vars.commander true
vars.forceReloadWholeMags false
vars.hitIndicatorsEnabled true
vars.alwaysAllowSpectators true
reservedSlotsList.aggressiveJoin false
vars.roundTimeLimit 0
vars.friendlyFire false
vars.mpExperience CQCLASSIC
vars.preset normal


I am running (I donated yesterday ) UMM 1.2.2.6 and I have the send preset commands after every round enabled.


I then created a map preset in UMM with the following:

# Custom Preset: Normal 1
vars.friendlyFire false
vars.gameModeCounter 85
vars.killCam true
vars.hud true
vars.3dSpotting true
vars.nameTag true
vars.3pCam true
vars.regenerateHealth true
vars.vehicleSpawnAllowed true
vars.soldierHealth 100
vars.onlySquadLeaderSpawn false
vars.miniMap true
vars.playerRespawnTime 100
vars.playerManDownTime 100
vars.preset normal

I remain at normal but the tickets do not drop down from 800 to 680. So I am not sure where I am going wrong at.

I have been told by DICE that vars.gameModeCounter ("Tickets given" on the "Easy setup" page) is supposed to have a requirement of 100 for all non-Custom presets. If the server is allowing you to change it under some circumstances without becoming Custom, this is a bug that they will likely work to correct. In my testing, setting vars.gameModeCounter to another value manually (through rcon) has made the server Custom.

sigh, heaven forbid we want to exert a little control over our servers and actually get traffic to them.

Here's the thing its not that they arent giving us the control, its just that by branding these servers as Custom we will not get the traffic to them because of the very system they have setup. the game comes out of the gate with "normal" checked. I bet a great majority of players never touch that.

I wonder if it has anything to do with running your server in official mode? I'm doing Ranked.

[[WDT]TardFarmer]

heheh yeah that's it, my bad I assumed you were running in official.

The crash issues I think are under control now, now we could use some performance improvements in this game.

I agree the servers are much more stable now! I think people are still getting discoed during certain levolution events, i.e. Shangai tower collapse.

It started working today for some reason! No clue why

Do you know if Paracel Storm or Dawnbreaker still crash the server or that's fixed? As far as I know Shanghai is the only one that is still bugged.

For my servers I have in easy setup the amount of tickets I would like to run for now and preset of normal. This works for now. But as a backup. I shoot to the server vars.gamemodecounter 200 (or whatever amount you would like) and a "punkbuster task. pb_sv_task 0 600 vars.gamemodecounter 200". But the task resets after any crash. I know this isnt going to stick but it works for now under normal setting as long as the server stays up.

ElmoPio, you should also be able to put PB tasks in the pbsv.cfg to have them start automatically when the server runs.

Doh! I forgot about that. Thanks mate.

Looks like we no longer have access to this in the panel?

You have full access to edit pb/pbsv.cfg.
