[COD2] Changing map and gametype at the same time

[cropek]

Hello all!

I am working on my own in-game rcontool for CoD2 v1.3. I want to include the map and gametype settings which would allow to change map and gametype at the same time and here's the problem: how to do that?

I already tried something like that:

/rcon g_gametype dm; map mp_carentan or /rcon map mp_carentan; g_gametype dm

but it does not work

Any ideas?

(sorry for bad english)

/rcon g_gametype dm; RCON map mp_carentan;

I doesn't work too.

[IzNoGoD]

did you try it like this:

/set a "rcon g_gametype dm; rcon map mp_carentan"
/vstr a

This works.

[filthy_freak_]

/rcon set g_gametype dm; rcon map mp_carentan;

or

/rcon set sv_maprotationcurrent "gametype dm map mp_carentan";
/rcon map_rotate;

[IzNoGoD]

set is only needed if the cvar in question isnt set yet. g_gametype is already set, thus there is no need for the set.

Thank you all for your responses.

Unfortunetly, all these commands mentioned above don't work.

@edit

/rcon g_gametype sd; map mp_harbor

This command works only in NON-DEDICATED server but I need it to work also on dedicated server

As most servers run with sv_floodprotect 1, you need to add some delay between the 2 commands:

/set a "rcon g_gametype dm; wait 300; rcon map mp_carentan"
/vstr a

This, on a 100 fps client, gives a delay of 3 seconds between the 2 commands, allowing the commands to be processed without getting caught in the floodprotection.

Alternatively you can write a script that reads a cvar every frame and does this for you, allowing for the commands to be processed script-wise and removing the 3s delay.

1. Setting up a LAN server
2. Typing:

\rcon set a "rcon g_gametype ctf; wait 300; rcon map mp_harbor"

3. Then typing:

\rcon vstr a

4. Result: nothing.

When I enter the same just without "rcon" in map section the server (LAN dedicated) switches only map - not gametype.

While ingame, press shift + ~ at the same time.

You should see something like this;

Now type your rcon command.

Does it return/show anything?
