Server Mission HELP

[Warrior_2123]

Hey guys I created a mission in the mission editor program. When I go to save the mission file in multiplayer dogfight directory and then go onto the server and create a .sds file everything works perfectly. The server launches the mission with out a problem. I can even join the server no problem at all. Shows all the planes I put in shows the airfields I made no problem at all. Everything works. BUT What happens is the server mission keeps restarting and restarting and restarting. Gives me about 10-15 seconds in the server before it does but keeps doing it over and over. Any Idea's on why this is happening?

Try setting the DServer option Team points per round to a high number like 99999999.

Nope does the samething really starting to make me angry. I am doing everything correctly. No reason it shouldn't be working.

Do the following:

1. Copy your .sds file and remove the values from the following parameters in the copy:

• login
• password
• protection
• ServerIP
• RconLogin
• RconPassword

2. Post your mission and the copy of the .sds file here.

Just to be clear, are you saying that the map is being reloaded after 10-15 seconds of your joining? If so, does the map reload if you do not join (text constantly updating in DServer text window?)

 

Did you create this map absolutely from scratch, or was it based on an existing map?

Well I got the mission to load now but no one can see my server on the list only me. My ports are open I have had people be able to join before but not now...I really hate this damn Dserver wow.....

Make sure to select the External checkbox beside Server IP.

 

Did I say "I really hate this damn DServer" or was it someone else?

Perhaps the Round Time for the mission is set too low. If this isn't the case then you probably have a premature mission complete due to a ME design logic error.

However Jim's angst suggests the mission didn't continually restart when he ran it. So... 

 

Check the mission .sds Round Time within the Dserver GUI by Manage SDS or manually change the .sds

tdmRoundTime=-1    // (=1800 in Norm and Expert) Team Deathmatch max round length in seconds, -1 - no round time limit, 1800 = 30 minutes.

 

Good Luck,

if none of the above works, might want to try this.

 

open you mission in editor, on the top tool bar, find "search and select" then select "find mission objects:  check "translator mission objectives" and hit find.  If you have any of these in your mission, they might be what is causing the mission to rotate.

If your mission does have them, it is sometimes helpful (while still in the find mission objects dialogue window). to check off some items in the lower right...where it says what to do when you double click anything in the list of objects it found.  I almost always have "select object" and "set group to working" checked off.  Note, you can only edit one object at a time.  once you dbl click anything in results, the find object window moves to the object you selected, and you have to close the window to see they object you selected. if there are more objects you want to delete, you have to start the whole process over again.

I think that's the problem.
