I apologize if this has already been answered, but I searched through the forum, and was unable to find an answer.



Does anyone here know of a way to add cvars to the mapcycle file for 'Soldier of Fortune II' in Cortex? I've been running SOF2 servers for a long time, but I've only been using Cortex for a few months now. I've tried manually uploading and replacing the "server.mapcycle" file that Cortex creates by default, but it eventually just overwrites it with the default one it created, which doesn't contain any special cvars.

Here's some of the special cvars I'm referring to, which I would like to include in my mapcycle file:



Before I started using Cortex, I used the cvars above in my mapcycle. I did this, because I prefer to use different settings on certain maps.

Does anyone know of a way to accomplish what I described?

If not, would it be possible to impliment this into a future release of Cortex?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Right now this isn't possible in Cortex. The only way to do this would be to upload your own mapcycle file. I'll see what we can do about it though for Cortex.

I found this site. may ehlp you if you would like to create your own mapcycle files and upload them .

Thanks for the reply. Uploading my own custom mapcycle only seems to work temporarily, because Cortex eventually overwrites it with the default one it creates. Maybe as a solution, you could add a field in Cortex to designate the name of the mapcycle file you want to use? In which case the admin would just name their custom mapcycle file something other than "server.mapcycle". Maybe taking it a step further, when doing this, you could also allow the "Edit Maps" module for this game to be disabled so that Cortex wouldn't actively try to force it's own default mapcycle file?

This is just an idea. I know you guys will come up with a good solution when you can.

ECF, thanks for the link! I've used this site in the past, and I agree, it's definitely a good resource for mapcycle files.

Thanks!
