UGC FF Clan [sYn]

[KubeDawg]

[sYn] The Dragon Syndicate, a Fortress Forever clan, will play on the UGC 5v5 ladder, Definitely need people, right now we are invite only, which means having a simple tryout probably won't get you in. We need dedicated people, fun, personable people, as well as people who are able to handle admin responsibilities and who use common sense.

If you would like to be part of our roster, please visit our forum at http://www.syndicate.clanservers.com/forum

Current Roster:
KubeDawg
Vicious
Decoy
Crimson_edge
Ded
Doom

Server IP: 8.2.0.224:27015

This server is located in Texas as to be playable for anyone in the country with a reasonable ping.

We do need a little help with server costs at the moment, however, that will change over the next few months.

We have cheesecakes....

sorry brain

[Jester]

Is this clan named after the The Red Dragon Syndicate that Vicious was part of in Cowboy Bebop?

[Vicious]

Indeed it is. I wanted it to be the "Red Dragon Syndicate" but Kube didn't like the "red" so much so we cut it out as a bargain.

Also he wasn't so much a "part" of it as he was the leader after his successful coup.

Well our server is up and running smoothly, sourcemod is installed and working wonderfully, so if anyone wants to stop by sometime, feel free. Also, anyone have any specific maps they'd like to see in the rotation?

[Dr.Satan]

congestus, 2moreforever, session, duality_b2, pitfall, sd2, ofire, startec, redgiant, ummmmmmmmmm that's all for now

[Vicious]

session kills servers. It's huge and no one likes it :P

Do we have a redgiant?

[KubeDawg]

No, and I don't like it.

[Vicious]

Also I don't know how to change maps in the rotation yet

[KubeDawg]

I forgot the file name, but it's in the Sourcemod folder methinks.

[Dr.Satan]

you have to change the following files:

maplist.txt (fortressforever/maplist.txt)
mapcycle.txt (fortressforever/addons/sourcemod/configs/mapcycle.txt)
adminmenu_maplist.ini (fortressforever/addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini)

You will probably need to create the last 2 files (I had to) b/c the sourcmod dl doesn't come with them.

maplist.txt should be the maps you want. listed one by one each on their own line.

An example:

ff_congestus
ff_well
ff_aardvark
ff_etc

mapcycle.txt should be the same as the maplist.txt

Example:

ff_congestus
ff_well
ff_aardvark
ff_etc

adminmenu_maplist.ini is a full list of every map on your server. I don't think it has to be in alphabetic order, but it helps.

Example:

concadam
ff_aardvark
ff_congestus
ff_redgiant
...

Save this file in notepad (notepad NOT wordpad) as adminmenu_maplist.ini and it will save it as an ini file. Then upload to your server.

Once you have all that done you should be good to go.

Trouble Shooting

If your map is not starting at the first map in your maplist when you restart your server, you may need to check with your server provider. They probably have a specific map designated to be the "start map" whenever you restart / stop and start your server.

You can test this on your own by placing the following line in your server.cfg (fortressforever/server.cfg)

startmap "ff_dev_2fort"

Stop your server completely
Start your server
And finally check which map it starts on

If it starts up as anything but ff_dev_2fort then they have it set to start on something. I think the current default is usually ff_well (mine was).

To solve this you have 2 options:

1. Contact your server provider and ask them to change the start map to something you want
2. Place the map your server starts on at the top of your maplist and mapcycle.txt files

Example for Opt. 2 (assuming ff_well is default map):

ff_well
ff_congestus
ff_well
ff_aardvark
ff_etc

NOTE: You can have more then one listing of the same map in your mapcycle / maplist.txt

[KubeDawg]

You should post this in the server section as a sticky Dr. Satan.

[Vicious]

[sYn] IRC is set up as #sYn-ff

so come idle bitches!

[Dr.Satan]

thought about doing that while typing it kube but your right...unfortunately I don't have access to sticky but I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

Clicky!

[GeoKill----->]

Stickayyyyyyy!!!!

I like it. I like it a whole lot. A really lot. Am I the only one that likes a challenge on defense and fun on offense? Do most people enjoy mega-lockdowns?

[Vicious]
