As I mentionend before: Valve did mess up this good game agaun. And for what? A silly "every noob can achieve this in 5 Minutes" - Achievement!

I updated my Server manually (does it everyday at 6 o clock in the morning):

Now my Problem:
The Minimap appears on EVERY Map (stock as well as Custom) as grey transparent field, and only the positions of the flags are appearing correctly.

Second Problem:
Due to the achievement, the players are supposed to drop gift packages asap they die. They do not drop anything except of the heatlhpacks, I installed via Plugin.

Please help. This is really annoying..... THX Valve you did fine again. BTW Google only brought me to steamforums. Only conclusion there is to update, then the gifts will appear. But they do not appear XD

I'm sorry, I also noticed this and I run a DODS server as well.

Do you have a glitch or bug in dod_donner? I have a strange floating cart behind the tank on axis side.

I do not have this.

I read somewhere, that presents are only appearing on wintermaps (kalt and colmar) but they do not appear XD
Minimap is still broken.

I just tried to run the server without MM and SM (renamed addons folder) but this doesn't have any effect. Thanks Valve. Great Christmaspresent......

I just checked other servers. Nowhere is a minimap, just this akward grey field. It is like in Custommaps with no Minimap set ^^

Bacardi · 12-18-2011 , 05:07 Re: DODS no minimaps and no Gifts after update

Cs:s have radar broke as well... gift works.
But check your cvar

Code:

"mp_holiday_nogifts" = "0"
 game notify
 - Set to 1 to prevent holiday gifts from spawning when players are killed.

micazoid · 12-18-2011 , 06:58 Re: DODS no minimaps and no Gifts after update

checked mp_holiday_nogifts. It is an unknown command......

This means that there cannot appear presents, because of no implimentation?

*edit
I tested and gift works in Dod:s, maybe map take affect.
Get in dod_kalt

micazoid · 12-18-2011 , 12:47 Re: DODS no minimaps and no Gifts after update

on my LAN testserver it is running.......

mp_holiday is not working.

I think a Plugin causes the notappearing......

What I do not understand:
If it is a plugin, why did disabling SM and MM not work?

These cvars, but behind cheat flag

Code:

"dod_winter_never_drop_presents" = "0"
 game cheat
"dod_winter_always_drop_presents" = "0"
 game cheat
"dod_winter_present_drop_chance" = "0.2" min. 0.000000 max. 1.000000
 game cheat

And seems HFD not affect anyhow what I tested.

To clarify, those presents/gift drop randomly. Not every kill.
Try update your server again....

micazoid · 12-19-2011 , 05:02 Re: DODS no minimaps and no Gifts after update

*sigh* I bever said, that HFD is causing this.

I do have a win7 "server" to test new plugins, and I have got a rented linuxserver. Do not ask what distribution, I do not have any idea ^^

The thing is:
On win7 I updated once yesterday. There is only the base SM running. On this server I was able do the achievement (minimaps werent appearing there).

On the linux server is the above Pluginlist installed. There are not any Gifts at all. This Server was updated a dozen times by me and every day at 6 o clock in the morning is a automated restart/update schedeuled.

The not appearing of the gifts is not the problem. Screw that dump piece of s***!!
The more annoying Problem is the broken minimap.
We do have many custommaps with real good minimaps, but they r just gone and navigating on them is now just hard....

micazoid · 12-21-2011 , 06:41 Re: DODS no minimaps and no Gifts after update

I dunno if this is related to the great Wintergrab update, but we have disappearing Tanks XD

This happened on dod_colmar and dod_claremont.....
