noob needs script modifying help!!!

I'm tracing the internal T2-scripts for a few weeks now to find a possibility for modifying the host-thingie.
I want to host a "Katabatic only"-server, and i still didn't discover which way to modify the "serverprefs.cs"-file or any other that is responsible for map rotation.

So PLEASE: Is anyone able to tell me how i can disable the map rotation, so that only Katabatic will start and restart???

ATTENTION!!! I DON'T HAVE A SERVER; I WANT TO HOST GAMES!!!

I'm grateful for every suggestion, even more for a real instruction.

Thx for the first!

Get tricon and host a server and then select what missions you want in public rotation.

or delete all the .mis files from the missions.vl2 and classic_v1.vl2 files.

or make sure EVERY map has a line in your serverprefs something like this.

$Host::MapPlayerLimitsMin otaur_CTF = "63 64";

then it will only load those maps if you have over 63 players.

You need a line for each map, with the name of the map being the same as the name of the .mis file for the map!!

ie,

$Host::MapPlayerLimitsBro adside_nef_CTF = "63 64";

Because Broadside is called broadside_nef in the classic_v1.vl2

PS: am working from memory, may not be totally accurate.

I tried to change the player account (63 64), but it still loads all maps.

About Tricon2: Does it also change the host-side of T2?
I thought it's only for real webservers?

If yes: Where do i have to implement it? gamesdata-base?

tricon you just plop it in.

player limits code may suck, you can still vote the new maps.

I suggest you remove the .mis files from the .vl2 files if you really want to make sure (backup first)

tricon, http://www.tricon2.com but it might be a lot more than you need.

if you are hosting you ARE a server. you can host in Dedicated mode, which looks like a black DOS window - best for hosting games.

Also using Ispawn.exe it will always be running.

I tried out the Tricon suggestion, doesn't work, dont know why... :finger:
I downloaded Tricon2, followed the instructions, but nothing, don't get a server connection. :fu:

I think the worst thing is that you never get a really clear instructiondelivered with a patch, no matter which patch you want to use.

Am i still able to play all maps on a usual public server, if i kill all .mis-files? Are they just for hosting a server?

Player limits code doesn't work.

Another solution is to install a new copy of T2 just for hosting, and delete all the .MIS files from that. Then, when you don't want to host the server, luanch the other copy of T2.
