General Questions - Spawn.cfg getting overwritten Anonymous - Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:51 am Post subject: Spawn.cfg getting overwritten
Whenever I make a change in a new subarena (change the owner with esc+c) the changes take affect in ALL new subarenas.
So if I change the maxflags to 1 flag, and the spawn.cfg has maxflags set at 2, then once I chnage maxflags 1 in ?go test, ?go test2 will have 1 maxflag instead of 2. This happens with all new arenas / settings.
Does subgame need to be restarted?
Thanks

In your server.ini, your [Arena] Mode is set to 5. This means whenever someone enters a new subarena, it does not create a new copy of the .cfg file. So when you edit a new subarena, it instead edits the default for all subarenas.
To change settings in a specific subarena, go to your server folder and copy an existing subarena's .cfg file and paste it into the same folder. Then rename it to the new subarena's name. Now when you go into that subarena and edit the settings by ESC+C, it will only effect that specific subarena.

So if I
*getfile <arena>.cfg
<edit what is needed>
*putfile <arena>.cfg
It should work fine? Thats how I have been doing it until the other day when I used esc+c.
Thanks MGB

I think you need to *getfile server.cfg, then rename it to <arena>.cfg (and make any changes you want), then *putfile it, then edit it with esc + c as normal

what about ?settsettings or ?setsettings <filename.cfg>
that does it all in one move doesn't it? I dunno if theres an = in there somewhere but I know it works.
