Map Cvar Chooser

[CaffeinePowered]

This plugin will load a custom cvar list for specified maps, it is meant to expand on the functionality of the default options built into Source, as well as combining the functionality of these two (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=607079) plugins (http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=598817).

The improvements on previous works are a simpler config and file structure, only one file is required as opposed to several files to accomplish the same functionality.

This plugin supports prefix matching, but not partial name matching.

Cvars Created: None

Config Path
/addons/sourcemod/configs/

Config Structure:
cp_dustbowl
{
cvar 1
cvar 2
}
ctf_*
{
cvar 1
cvar 2
}

Games Tested:
Team Fortress 2

I have tested and this works awesome. Approved.

[dann]

does this actually work with sourcemod varibles like reserved slots and the afk manager?

[PStar]

So if i understand it correct it can replace the map config plugins, am i right?

I think there could be something wrong whit your mapcvarlist.cfg.
Could you post yours? I think this could be a missing "{" or "}".

Hmm, ther is nothing wrong whit it.....
Could you enable debug info? It could help the author to solve the problem.
Could you write you SM version to?

Try delete the plugin and reinstall it.
But keep your cfg file.
Try to load the plugin whit the original cfg and after it whit you modified cfg.
And see if it is caused by the modifie cfg or not.

[r3dh3adkid]

........really noob mistake here....I just realized my filetype got changed to .txt, I've changed it to .cfg and now lets see if it works.

If it doesn't ill test your plan.

[edit]

.txt to .cfg didnt really do anything, i did what you said and it's seemed to work. I removed all of the empty lines and so far it looks like its working.

Also, the default area executes when there are no special cvars for that map correct?

[GriMz]

does this work for CS:S as well as TF2?

[CaffeinePowered]

this should work in any mod

As for the errors earlier, I believe you need to end the cfg file with a newline. In testing I never had any issues, but then again, I only used the default config you see above, with a few cvars in each to make sure it was working correctly.

Default executes when it can not find a particular map or a prefix for the map type

[Falcon1]

pls delete post

[MMax]

fix line 203:
GetArrayString(Map_Cvars, i, command, 80);

to:
GetArrayString(Default_Cvars, i, command, 80);

And it works fine with default parameters. :wink:

[Wyrda Ebrithil]

the default doesnt seem to be working for me...
//List Cvars Between Curly brackets
//One Cvar per line
default
{
sv_gravity 800

}
gg_super_mario_reloaded
{
sv_gravity 350
}



map changes to gg_super_mario_reloaded and the gravity is reset to 350

map changes to gg_fy_funtimes and the gravity stays at 350 instead of changing back to 800

[CMCW]

say i only wanted 2 maps of my rotation to have reduced time but other then that be my regular server config rules.

do i only add one line?

or do i need to completley re configure every line for each of those maps.

[CMCW]

I had problems with this mod with gravity carrying onto every server. also time limit seemed to work but would get stuck at 0, what am i doing wrong or is there another plugin for this everyones using now?

[CMCW]

is support to this dead?

[gH0sTy]

You'll need to add the gravity cvar with its default value to the server.cfg so it'll be set after a map change.
I'm using the Map configs (https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=607079) plugin.

Thanks CaffeinePowered for making this plug-in to simplify issuing map specific CVARS.

I just got it running for an orangebox source server installation for - Stargate: The Last Stand.

I ran into an issue with getting it to work which I figured out how to resolve and realized that nothing was said about it (it is only implied) so I figured I would make a reply to this post so people know it.

If you use this plug-in to change multiple CVARS for specific maps you need to make sure and list the default configurations for each CVAR you have listed to change per map in your mapcvarlist.cfg file under the configs default section. Otherwise, it won't work right (it will just load whatever you have for that particular CVAR your server.cfg file).

If you forget to list even one of the CVAR variables you change for a specific map in the 'default' section of your mapcvarlist.cfg file then the plugin won't do what it should for any of the CVARS listed for each specific map.

Example:

//List Cvars Between Curly brackets
//One Cvar per line
default
{
mp_timelimit 20
sv_alltalk 0
sv_gravity 800
}
tls_abydos
{
mp_timelimit 45
}
tls_blargh_rawr2
{
sv_alltalk 1
echo "All Talk is ON for this map"
}
MapName
{
sv_gravity 600
}

NOTE: All CVARS wanting to be changed per map are listed in the 'default' area of the mapcvarlist.cfg file.
