About 58 I maps I think. Logs state that randomcycle is using maps.ini but still changing to maps not in this file. And maps are definately repeating at intervals of less than thirty map changes too.

Please post a log file (Just randomcycle messages) and your maps.ini

Maps.ini is just a maplist right? No special syntax or anything?

[ferret]

Correct, maps.ini is just a list of maps like you have.

Where did you change sm_randomcycle_exclude? if you put it in server.cfg or somewhere else, it might not be working. RandomCycle creates a config file of its own in configs/sourcemod. Check there and make sure to change it.

Just to help me out, can you point out one of the maps in that log snippet that isn't in the list? Lots of maps

[Nomarky]

dm_moil_beta isn't in maps.ini. I've noticed several others come on that arn't in the list as well.

I changed the exclude in the .sp file and recompiled. Is this the wrong way to do it? I didn't know it created a cfg but it is there (cfg/sourcemod) and is correct:

// This file was auto-generated by SourceMod (v1.0.0.1489)
// ConVars for plugin "randomcycle.smx"


// Specifies how many past maps to exclude from the vote.
// -
// Default: "30"
// Minimum: "0.000000"
sm_randomcycle_exclude "30"

// Map file to use. (Def sourcemod/configs/maps.ini)
// -
// Default: "configs/maps.ini"
sm_randomcycle_file "configs/maps.ini"

I note that this file states the default is 30, have I made a mistake somewhere?

[ferret]

The normal default is 5, but what you've done should work fine too.

Hmms. It works like this. RandomCycle loads maps.ini, or if that fails, loads mapcycle.txt. It shouldn't be able to load both. It can't change to any map that it doesn't load, because it never scans for maps or anything, just reads in that file.

Is dm_moil_beta in mapcycle.txt? Maybe I've got a bug and its lying about which file it loaded.

[Nomarky]

Yeah, it is changing to several maps (including dm_moil_beta) that are in mapcycle.txt but not in maps.ini. It could be its lying...though don't rule out user error on my part!

[ferret]

Confirm the following:

Maps.ini is located here: cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs/

[ferret]

nevermind, that's in your log file above. I'm stumped. It shouldn't have any maps not in maps.ini. ;/

[Nomarky]

Just been looking at the logs again, and I've noticed this:

L 09/29/2007 - 01:01:41: [randomcycle.smx] RandomCycle has chosen dm_was-geht_finale for the nextmap.
L 09/29/2007 - 01:21:45: -------- Mapchange to dm_snipe_vip --------

Seems it isn't changing to the map chosen by randomcycle. But on this occasion it is:

L 09/29/2007 - 01:21:53: [randomcycle.smx] RandomCycle has chosen dm_killroof2_b1 for the nextmap.
L 09/29/2007 - 01:41:54: [nextmap.smx] Nextmap changed map to "dm_killroof2_b1"
L 09/29/2007 - 01:41:55: -------- Mapchange to dm_killroof2_b1 --------

Is there a problem bettween randomcycle and nextmap maybe? However, I may have deeper Sourcemod problems: plugins are going to sleep after awhile, noticed this with say sounds and it forgets who admins are too
