OpenArena Message Boards

I have a dedicated server on linux and all config is ok, but last week i changed the map cycle, and today i realized that some maps that are in the game are not in the server....


so i'd like to know where is the map's folder at my oa server... and what maps do i have there, because as i see, the server folder is totally different from the game...

here is my map cycle...

   set d1 "map am_galmevish; set nextmap vstr
   set d2 "map agressor; set nextmap vstr d3"
   set d3 "map ce1m7; set nextmap vstr d4"
   set d4 "map dm4ish; set nextmap vstr d5"
   set d5 "map dm6ish; set nextmap vstr d6"
   set d6 "map kaos; set nextmap vstr d7"
   set d7 "map oa_dm3; set nextmap vstr d8"
   set d8 "map oa_rpg3dm2 ;set nextmap vstr d9
   set d9 "map czest1dm; set nextmap vstr d1"

and you could give me some tips about the maps that people really like to play...


thx!

You have the maps inside pak1-maps.pk3 file. It's a plain zip, but I do NOT recommend to unzip it.
These are the default maps which came with OA. First ones are DM, the second ones are CTF:

AGGRESSOR
AM_GALMEVISH
CE1M7
CZEST1DM
CZEST1TOURNEY
DM4ISH
DM6ISH
FAN
ISLANDDM
KAOS
KAOS2
OA_DM1
OA_DM2
OA_DM3
OA_DM4
OA_DM5
OA_DM6
OA_DM7
OA_KOTH1
OA_MINIA
OA_PVOMIT
OA_RPG3DM2
OA_SHINE
OA_SHOUSE
Q3DM6ISH
SLEEKGRINDER
SLIMEFAC
SUSPENDED
WRACKDM17

CBCTF1
CTF_COMPROMISE
CTF_GATE1
CTF_INYARD
CZEST2CTF
CZEST3CTF
DELTA
HYDRONEX
ISLANDCTF
OA_BASES3
OA_BASES3CL
OA_BASES3PLUS3
OA_BASES5
OA_BASES7

sorry but, my server does not have agressor, because i had a message like couldn't find agressor.bsp...

and pak1 maps i just have at the open arena game folder... not in the server...

The map is 'aggressor' not 'agressor'

lol, me and my reading problems...

thanks...


so the server has all the game maps?

Unless you have deleted them.

How did you install the server? It should be identical to the client except you use a different binary.

sudo apt-get install openarena-server


and just one more question, how could i edit the bot skills, bot names and bot chat for the server???

Then the pk3 files should be in: /usr/share/games/openarena/baseoa/

This is Debian specific (including Ubuntu). The official source/binaries will not look in this folder. 

so man, the openarena server does not have a unique folder, it uses the open arena game folder too right?

but what about the bot chat? if i change at the open arena game, it will affect the open arena server?


thanks for the help.

openarena and openarena-server reads the same files meaning:

/usr/share/games/openarena and ~/.openarena

If a file with the same filename is located in both folders the one in ~/.openarena will be used.

I don't know how you plan to change the bots so I cannot answer that question. I think the client and the server uses two different config files (q3config.cfg and q3config_server.cfg).

thanks for your help.

Maybe, when i have some time i'll change the bot names, and the bot chat... make them talk brazilian portuguese...

If i translate everything, ill let you guys know, and maybe someday it would be a bot language pack :D

thx!

Well, there's not so much to translate at the moment.
When I'm done with my editing (http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3048.0), you should have a lot of new lines and complete files to translate. ;)

I can translate to Spanish-LA too, but there's a lot of complaints about translations everywhere. :D

(And these weren't wrong in some cases... for example Unreal translations sucks so bad... to the point that these brokes the game itself!!!)

Do you want to create a language pak? It won't work with pure servers and will ruin gameplay of non-Portuguese speakers if they use the pak.
