Player Based Map Rotation Problem

This is the rotation we use but the server will not rotate from the starting map mp_sps_sidesniper it just stays on there. I tried to go on the server and use the rcon command map_rotate to get to the next map but it just heads over to Backlot. Is there anything I did wrong on the rotation?

[Mari]

Update:

It rotates fine the first time to mp_sps_old_west which is the first map in small rotation but after that it directly rotates back to mp_sps_sidesniper again which is the starting map and then stays on there. Means after the map is over it just restarts.

[Joker{eXtreme}]

Where did this come from?

// place 1 map here first -- Starting map
set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_sps_sidesniper"

[Mari]

Well it has been in there as I opened it ... could be that 1 of the server admins placed it there.

[Joker{eXtreme}]

It is not in any of the stock download configs.  Remove it and restart your server, see how that goes.

[Mari]

It loads Backlot now and does not load any custom map at all. I have specified the small, medium & large rotation as above but haven't specified any sv_mapRotation.

Lets see your entire maprotation.cfg please

Replace

-- // set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_sps_sidesniper"

with this

-- set sv_mapRotation "gametype war map mp_sps_old_west"

map_rotate follows your small rotation now

[TnT_Jeta1]

You're missing

// Use it exactly like you would sv_maprotation.
set scr_large_rotation ""


Don't know if that is the problem.
Hope it helps,

Well the server is still stuck but now on mp_sps_old_west ... here's the entire maprotation.cfg again hope somebody can tell me the mistake I did.

I would definately set this to 1

set ex_fix_maprotation "0"


Explain what you mean by "server is stuck" -- screenshots help

[Mari]

1. With "Server is stuck" I meant that the server was stuck on this starting map not rotating through it.

2. I changed set ex_fix_maprotation "0"  to set ex_fix_maprotation "1" but still the server was not going through the rotation.

3. What I did to get the server to work was changing this 'set sv_maprotationcurrent "" ' to '//set sv_maprotationcurrent "" ' after I disabled this it worked just fine for me.

I hope this helps anyone in future out.

Cheers Mari
