Hi all,
Earlier this week I downloaded srcds with gmod10 and cs:s content. Then I decided to get ULX with it because of the great functionality, together with the GMStranded mod.
However now we want to add configuration files for each map. I found
this manual on how to do it, but it doesn't load the files at all.
On starting the server I get the error:
exec //*/cfg/server.ini: invalid file type
so I renamed it to cfg and that's working.
After that I put the ini files into the cfg/maps directory with the proper names (gm_flatgrass.ini) and restarted the server.
It didn't load any of the settings put in to that file and it didn't echo the string I've put in it.
Immediately I thought of the earlier problem with the .ini extension and I copied the files but now I gave em the cfg extension, but its still not working.
Can anyone help me to get the map-specific configuration working? The main goal is to automatically load the proper gamemode.
Content of gm_flatgrass.ini/gm_flatgrass.cfg:
sv_gamemode "sandbox"
sv_defaultgamemode "sandbox"
echo "Sandbox loaded from map specific configuration"Content of gm_islands.ini/gms_islands.cfg:
sv_gamemode "GMStranded"

ulx rslotsMode 0

ulx rslotsVisible 1 // When this is 0, sv_visiblemaxplayers will be set to maxplayers - slots_currently_reserved

//0 - Off
//1 - Keep # of slots reserved for admins, admins fill slots.
//2 - Keep # of slots reserved for admins, admins don't fill slots, they'll be freed when a player leaves.
//3 - Always keep 1 slot open for admins, kick the user with the shortest connection time if an admin joins.
//Difference between 1 and 2:
//I realize it's a bit confusing, so here's an example.
//On mode 1--
// You have maxplayers set to 10, rslots set to 2, and there are currently 8 non-admins connected.
// If a non-admin tries to join, they'll be kicked to keep the reserved slots open. Two admins join
// and fill the two reserved slots. When non-admins leave, the two admins will still be filling the
// two reserved slots, so another regular player can join and fill the server up again without being
// kicked by the slots system
//On mode 2--
// Same setup as mode 1, you have the two admins in the server and the server is full. Now, when a
// non-admin leaves the server, reserved slots will pick up the slot again as reserved. If a regular
// player tries to join and fill the server again, even though there are two admins connected, it will
// kick the regular player to keep the slot open
//So, the basic difference between these two is mode 1 will subtract currently connected admins from the slot
//pool, while mode 2 while always be attempting to reclaim slots if it doesn't currently have enough when
//players leave no matter how many admins are connected.
//rslotsVisible:
// If you set this variable to 0, ULX will automatically change sv_visiblemaxplayers for you so that if
// there are no regular player slots available in your server, it will appear that the server is full.
// The major downside to this is that admins can't connect to the server using the "find server" dialog
// when it appears full. Instead, they have to go to console and use the command "connect <ip>".
// NOTE THIS DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR MAXPLAYERS VARIABLE, ONLY HOW MANY MAXPLAYERS IT _LOOKS_ LIKE YOUR
// SERVER HAS. YOU CAN NEVER, EVER HAVE MORE PLAYERS IN YOUR SERVER THAN THE MAXPLAYERS VARIABLE.
