mapcycle.txt cause svc_bad error :O

lazarev · **Author**

Hello, today I installed mappack on my server with around 150+ maps, I added all of them in mapcycle.txt file, and now when I try to join my server I have this:

Code:

[...]
25124 8934 StatusValue
25124 9044 SetFOV
25124 9046 NVGToggle
25124 9048 RoundTime
25124 9051 svc_updateuserinfo
25124 14695 Geiger
BAD:  14697:svc_bad
Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage: Illegible server message - svc_bad

Close steam and open it again (That happens to me sometimes)

But does it fix it if you remove the maps from the file?

does this happen when using maps.ini instead of mapcycle.txt to?

Yes.

your macycle.txt is to large, that's what is causing the problem.

Okay, what's the limit then?

For HLDS GUI mode it appear there is a maximum number of 4,074 characters
allowed in mapcycle.txt (not a line limit).

For HLDS console mode it appears there is a maximum of 8190 characters
allowed.
