Offline Manual

You are reading this offline manual for this plugin. The links to the right navigate through the offline information. The links above and to the left link to www.ravenousbugblatterbeast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk.

Note that the on-line manual may have been updated even if the plugin hasn't.

Requirements

Check you have installed all the prerequisite software for this plugin and it is working before you attempt to install the plugin.

Copying Files

Copy the contents of the X folder to your X folder.

Copy the contents of the Config folder to your X folder.

Adding the plugin to Admin Mod

Open the file Xplugin.ini and add the following line above Xplugin_base.amx but below Xplugin_antiflood.amx.

Xplugin_blatt_map.amx

Put the ; indicated below in from of the following lines to comment them out, if they appear:

;plugin_chat.amx
;plugin_cavey_votemap.amx
;plugin_map_random.amx
;plugin_random_map.amx
;plugin_timerem.amx
;plugin_timerem2.amx
;plugin_hldsld_mapvote.amx

Admin Mod Configuration

Make the following changes to your X file:

  • Set admin_vault_file to the name of your vault file (normally vault.ini). This file will be created if it doesn't exist.
  • Set allow_client_exec to 1
  • maps_file must be set to the file name of your maps file, normally, ". You must have a maps file (see below). Experience has shown the most common error is forgetting this step.
  • Set admin_vote_autostart to 0
  • Set file_access_read to 1
  • Set file_access_write to 1
  • Set vote_freq to as low as you can tolerate. I recommend 3 minutes if this your only voting plugin, or 1-2 minutes if you are also running other types of vote (e.g. vote kick).

Also, make the following changes to your X file:

  • Remove mp_roundlimit and mp_winlimit. The Map Management, plugin provides an alternate way to specify these limits.

Maps Files

The map management plugin requires three files to exist containing map lists, all in the same format - one map name per line:

  • If you do not have a file maps.ini, copy mapcycle.txt to maps.ini.
  • Create a file standardmaps.ini and in it list all of the default maps that come with your game mod - one map per line. Include all standard maps, regardless of whether they are in your map cycle or not.

Testing the installation

Start a game, then check your log file. Any errors from the plugin should be reported at the point the first player connects. Note: If you see an error message repeating continuously, there is usually another error that appears above it once; that one indicates the real problem.

If no errors are reported you have successfully installed the plugin.
