This server needs some cfg config tweaking. Main problem is the map rotation. What's clear is not everyone like the same maps and tend to leave server rather than spectating or voting for map change.
What I have observed is people do like the ctf maps, mainly q3ctf1 and q3ctf4. Also noted people like q3dm0, q3dm1-3 and tend to avoid the tourneys. Map rotation for the FFA server needs these maps and no tourney and possibly q3dm19 along with everyone fav dm17.
Any preferences for the map rotation please post here and I will do my best to ensure the rotation is not boring and remains dynamic.

OK what I am planning on doing with this server is running a different mod so the RAIL24 FFA server is all yours if u r wanting to run the config sometime Kieron. I am going to try and put together a sole CTF server but someting a bit more exciting than baseq3. I was going to run the OSP as the sole ctf but I feel running a different mod for ctf might prove a better idea. Looked at NoGhost, it has good points but nobody plays the 1.32 version and I dont like 1.16. Will keep everyone up to date but I am hoping time will permit and I can get this changed asap. I know a few good people who play Threewave CTF and I have played with several of the Lady gamers clan over the years who play this mod. So thats an option.

hehe I didnt know u had a iu1.2beta3 e+ still going I put the server in xqf. I dont know about u but I find configing one file to exec another file to exec the game confusing and the support hasnt been good over the years with excessive+. I do like the mod though. The thing is as well most of the high ranking q3a servers are running excessive. Its not out of the question but I think I will see if I can get server populated with threewave if not then I will swallow my pride and go back to excessive if it means getting players onto server.

I remember when I ran excessive pLUS it hardly ever got populated only me and fr8 most of the time.
The good thing about the RAIL24 1.1 servers is they are popular with a reasonable sum of people. They have regular players and the ranking is usually around 65-80, which is what we had with the hottubs and the rage. I have not seen may people on iu1.2Beta3 servers like our old ones. The last time I had the hottub up it had less than 50 player stats and v23 was the only regular player. How are u finding the excessive CTF config, has it been successful?

I must admit E+ is a good mod but the support is shyte. Threewave is not so easy to set up as the other mods but when you get it right it is a great mod to play. The E+ server is running railmania CTF and iu1.2Beta3 on FFA, on the same server also the more players on server it will use differant maps.

Sounds good, a bit like the BF3 server I ran after 32 players different maps kicked in, I like that feature. Will let u know as soon as Three wave is set ready to go.
