ACM (Auto Change Maps)
-
[ACM] Auto Change Maps
==================================================
FOR : UT 436-440-451 Windows/Linux >DEDICATED< Servers
Version 1.03 January, 2006
By MSuLL
==================================================
Original Idea by Cratos
NOTE: This modification's code is original and was NOT taken
from MapVote LA or any other modifications.
==================================================
What is ACM ? :
================
ACM is a ServerActor which will make the server switch to a random
map from a pre-defined list of up to 64 maps. With these
64 enteries, you can specify:
The map (example: CTF-Coret)
The game class (example: Botpack.CTFGame)
The desired mutators (example: BDBMapvote304.BDBMapvote,Revenge.Revenge)
Thanks To:
============
+ Beta Testers (All players of WhartHog's PigPen)
+ UnrealWiki
+ UnrealAdmin.org
+ Cratos of course! After all he had the idea first

Maybe it's the hangover, but what is this exactly good for? Doesn't MapvoteLA have this feature too?
Code:
bEnableEmptyServerLevelSwitch=True
EmptyServerLevelSwitchTimeMins=15
MapListIfNooneVoted=2

A few things with that -
A) I don't use Mapvote LA (I created this for myself, and only decided to release it later on)
B) Refer to A
C) I'm not the only one not using Mapvote LA (which is why it's good for something)
D) I believe that in Mapvote LA you must make it pick from your maplist as a whole (if I'm not mistaken). Using this mod, you can have it choose anywhere from between 4 maps, all the way to 64 maps.
That is certainly no diss on Mapvote LA though - it freaking owns! The only reason I don't use it is that I don't need it.

Does it keep on switching maps forever, like MapVoteLA does? Or does it just switch once if the game has not started?

And besides the fact that empty logs are being generated it is a bit loss of resources to restart an empty server ... as we know it kills the cpu for a little moment.

I see two reasons for switching map when the server is empty:
- you can switch to a small map, so that people will bother to join.
- you can avoid those 237854 minute matches in UTStats.

It switches after the timer hits whatever minute you specify. However I can add that option pretty easily I'd bet

The problem with switching maps every x minute, is that you will get a ton of empty UTStats logs. So if it could switch only once until there are some players on the server, that would be cool. Like wait x minutes after the last player leaves, then swich map.

I thought matches must have at least 1 player to be logged by UTStats - or no?

Yes I just checked my server's logs. UTStats doesn't process any matches that have one or no players.

So you dont have any empty logs in the backup folder?
I was pretty sure that it would still create a logfile that must be ftp'ed and parsed. You will then get more empty logfiles than real ones, and a bunch of useless files are annoying when making backups and such.

Installed it, works fine
Except for one thing
I use these settings:
Code:
EmptyMins=30
bOnlyChangeOnce=True
I saw this in the reporter channel this morning:
- Server was started after I installed this actor, default map was loaded
- Time exceeded EmptyMins, it was 50 minutes or so
- A player joined, and left after a few seconds
- The map changed after about a minute
Would it be possible for you to change it so that the EmptyMins countdown does not start until a player has joined?
