I'm working on Aberdeen CTF, and I ran into a snag. I'm at work, so posting the code isn't possible...I'll try to spell it out and not ramble. 8O
Aberdeen's main bases are capturable, so I disabled that in the aberdeen_003.rfa (in controlpoints.con set the flag times to 9999, and disable flag turning with a zero at both bases). This works fine on a dedicated test, the flags won't turn in a million years.
The conquest to ctf tut only partially applies though, because there are main bases and flag poles in Aberdeen, where the tut is creating them from scratch. When I pack up the main .rfa with a ctf folder, the game and type show correctly on a dedicated server, but the game crashes to menu when the map is done loading.
The only thing I could come up with is that the ctf.con is creating bases where bases already exist. So I used El Al ctf as a reference, and there are no main bases in the controlpoints.con or controlspawnpoints.con.
I removed the main base references in the main rfa and the 003 rfa, and it still crashes to menu.
Can existing control points be edited or removed and still be a server side mod? I could try making the main bases normal (but uncapturable) control points, and create new main bases elsewhere?
