Trouble with CTF

[AnakinPiewalker]

Hi,
I just started this whole bzfs thing and i am getting most of the basics, but when i enable CTF in the .conf file bzfs doesn't run. i don't know y. i have team bases (i used bzedit) in my world file, (i also tried someone elses base but it did the same thing) i told it to let blue and red team flags on the server but that didnt do anything either. Any ideas on what i can do, or am i just doing something wrong?
Thanks

Can you post your .conf and world file here?

[joevano]

Make sure to blank out you password if it is in your .conf file

Are there players from teams that don't have bases(except rouge) allowed on the file?
Changing what teams are allowed might fix the problem.

Yeah, definitely use -mp, that's probably what the problem is.

If you use red vs. green, do this: -mp 0,r,g,0,0,o

where r is red, g is green, and o is observer. Just fill in your max players for each of those teams instead of the letter. If you use 4-teams, and you want rogues allowed, you might try this:

-mp R,r,g,b,p,o

R is rogue, r is red, g is green, b is blue, p is purple, and o is observer.

Just add the line as you need it to your .conf file and let me know how that works.

yep, with only 2 or 3 bases but withhow "-mp" bzfs wont work then.
He tell you then, ERROR:Base was not defined for the xxx Team.

-mp 0,10,10,10,10,10


1st numper is how many rogues per Team

2nd number is how many reds per Team

3rd number is how many blues per Team

4th number is how many purples per Team

5th number is how many observers per Team

oops!

my mistake, sry

[AnakinPiewalker]

thanks for all the replies but i've (kinda) resolved it

Adding -d to your server options will give you some useful debug output for tracking down problems

[AnakinPiewalker]

yah
how does the debug thing work
what is it

[Thumper]

It's just extra text output from the server.

When you run the server it reports things on standard output. There are at least 4 debugging levels which gives you more and more output (more than you probably want).

Each -d gives you the next level so

bzfs -d ... is level 1

bzfs -d -d is level 2 (you can also use bzfs -dd)

bzfs -d -d -d is level 3 (same as bzfs -ddd)

etc

Level 4 includes plugin output and network details which is normally not what you want on a running 'production' server.
