Creating that metagame.xml file fixed the issue. Server seems stable, although I do have two error messages in the script window:

Yah, me too It shouldn't be anything too serious, the server Invasion just doesn't know how to save map completion status properly, but single player Invasion requires it.

Excellent, in that case both servers are up and running with minimum fuss! Huzzah, thanks Pasik

I do have minor concern about the combination of persistent profiles and having some maps set up for 2 factions and some for 3 on Beerdrinkers -- I believe no one has ever tested what happens if you're e.g. a Brownie in map7, and you keep being that until the match ends, the map changes and the new map doesn't have 3 factions (or Browns).

Potentially we could be talking about server crashing at that point as the player profile tells he's a Brown but Brown resources have not been loaded, or, if lucky, the game checks the validity of the stored faction id and resorts to just re-balancing the situation.

It works in Invasion as everyone is tagged to be from faction 0, and greens have been set to be faction 0 at all times.

Will try it and see

No crash

Went from Brown on map 8 straight the Grey on map 2. No issues, no problems, no errors

Awesome, thanks for testing it

Looks like Classic is missing a few weapon resources, namely SPAS-12 and QCW-05.

map_rotator_classic.php:


Also it's using the other vest, not the better one. Not sure if you'd want to add the better one instead:

I made a simple KOTH mode test: http://modulaatio.com/runningwithrifles/dev/koth.zip

Basically it's almost the same as Classic, but only has those two new maps in rotation, it has the defense_win_time set for them so that the match can actually end at some point, and it sends a few AI commander config commands to the server to make them attack more than in Classic.

It's possible to merge that with Classic if you want to have a server with both regular capture matches and KOTH matches, may need a tiny bit of tinkering.

Extending this with real faction specific KOTH timers should be pretty trivial in the script and make the script decide who wins, also using the script to announce status of situation in the match and so on, something that would be expected from a KOTH mode.

A bug was found in 0.90 server where persistent profiles were cleared on map start, so effectively persistent profiles didn't really work unless you had a clever script running the show.

The issue is now fixed, so consider redownloading the binaries; the version number didn't change, was too lazy to change that.

Any joy with this? I would try, but I have a habit of breaking stuff
