Hi,
I've checked for any answers and I wasn't able to find them, so I'll repeat the
questions in the hope of getting a reply. The previous replies that included an
edited tf_mvm_missioncycle.res did not work. These questions come from the
point of view of a server administrator with multiple MvM servers launching
from a single install directory. (I have 40 MvM servers up for the Australian
community at the moment, and I'd like to bring up at least another 10-15
running advanced missions).
1: How can we launch a server that only rotates through the six advanced
missions with no rcon or other intervention? (I can do anything to the command
line or config files, but I can't rely on rcon or votes).
2: How can we launch multiple servers that rotate through different mission
profiles from the same install directory? (Depending on the answer to 1. the
question could read "How can I set a different missioncycle file per server
instance?").
Thanks for anyone's help on this.
Regards,
Brendan.

Has anyone had any luck setting a MvM server to run only the advanced missions?
If so, how did you configure you missioncycle.res file/server?

This is odd, because I'm running all my normal rotation servers with timelimit
0, and they don't get stuck on a map. (Also, I saw the same behaviour - using
that file caused the server not to launch in advanced mode, and then to get
stuck at the end of the round.

Chances are your mp_timelimit is still set to the default (0), which will just
have the map on permanently. If you set mp_timelimit 20 or something along
those lines, when the mission has been completed, that time should be up, and
it'll move onto the next map in the rotation. Unfortunately, map votes still
break servers (as far as I know), and so this is the only real way to change
map without doing it manually (changelevel foo_bar)
If the players want to change difficulty, they'll have to do that by calling a
difficulty vote from the game menu, right now I don't think there's a way to
automatically change to a different difficulty automatically.

I've tried this, but my players report that the game got stuck at mvm_coaltown,
even though they defeated all the waves. Mmm... bogus report or someone had the
same issue? I think the servers where started on mvm_coaltown, maybe that's the
issue?

Should do what you need. If it doesn't, then you'd need to ask someone more
knowledgeable than myself :-P

Hi,
Sorry, I must be dense today, but I can't get a server launching with only
advanced missions. Can you (or someone) provide an example of a
tf_mvm_missioncycle.res and any other changes necessary for that to happen?
Thanks,
Brendan.

You can edit tf_mvm_missioncycle.res to remove the Normal missions.

On this topic - does anyone have a quick overview of how to start and keep an
MvM server rotating through only the advanced missions, or even both the
standard and advanced missions? I've got around 40 MvM servers up for the
Australian community, but I'd like to be able to run some more with the
advanced rotations.
Regards,
Brendan.

I knew I'd find it somehow!
You can use tf_mvm_popfile to select the appropriate mission file. The popfiles
are in tf/scripts/population, and are listed in tf_mvm_missioncycle.res. This
can probably also be used to load missions that belong to different maps, but I
wouldn't recommend it. Who knows how horribly it could break things.

I'd love a command for this, it really is annoying to have to vote to change to
something else.
Don't votes run commands after they are won? Maybe we could steal the command
from there.

The only real way I've found so far is to call a ChangeMission vote once in

Hey, maybe I missed some sort of memo, but as a server owner, how should I be
able to change the missions my server runs? I was playing on my private server
with some friends earlier but we noticed in matchmaking we could select these
different missions here: http://puu.sh/VQAn
When playing on my server, it seemed to just rotate between the 3 maps on the
'normal' difficulty maps, but I had no idea how to set a map to be on a mission
such as "Data Demolition" on Decoy or whatever else. I did a bit of looking
around but I think I really missed something here.
