[SOLVED] g_MinMBPoints

[Jedi Boyd]

Hey guys, not sure if there is a new server.cfg standard or not to compare against, as the launcher doesn't download one and there really isn't a server install zip anywhere just yet, but I noticed something different when I put our servers on 1.3.2 using our older server.cfg setup.

It appears g_MinMBPoints is not working any more in open mode. Is there a new variable for a starting number of points for open mode?

Also, it appears the semi-authentic mode is showing as open when querying using UDP. It might have always been that way and I just never noticed perhaps.

Thanks!

Works just fine on my dedicated server. Could you provide post the relevant part of your server config? Just remove any passwords or other nonessential shit.

vstr HUB1

So as is, this comes up with only 4 points for new players when in open mode, but comes up with the correct number of starting points when executing 'mbmode 1' from rcon in the in-game console.

Could it be the 'mbmode 0' in our HUB1 vstr causing the problem? I seem to remember there are some 'oh by the ways' with using mbmode in a vstr...

Thanks!

 

[Supa]

It's possible HUB1 is causing the problem, yes, but the server isn't starting with that active, is it?

Also, is your g_MinMBPoints set to 300? If so try setting it to 80.

 

[Jedi Boyd]

Yeah, last line there shows HUB1 being called. We have a bunch of others set as vstrs so we can switch the name of the server and what mode its running without a lot of pain.

Yeah, 300 was just in case the 80 hard coded limit ever was expanded we wouldn't have to change the config. In previous MBII versions I believe the code would check and see its above 80, and just set it to 80.

Hmm, if the code now sees 300 out of range and just sets it to the default (starting at 0 + 4 for the first round) instead of the max, that's probably it!

Geez, why didn't I think of that before lol. Thanks man.

 

[Jedi Boyd]

That did the trick! I'm sure whoever changed the range check in the code from max 80 to default to 0+4 is laughing at me right now. Thanks again for the assist.
