Post subject: subgame - persistant subarena scores?

Could someone please tell me how to setup subarenas to have persistent scores? I've had some conflicting information, someone telling me that this is default behaviour, but it doesn't seem to be so. I want the arena scores to stay even if the server recycles or if everyone leaves. I was assuming this was a .cfg setting but I'm looking through the default file and I don't see anything related to scores besides freq-switching.

I'd appreciate any help.

I believe it's the ArenaMode setting in server.ini

Code: Show/Hide

[Custom]
ArenaMode=5
//1=Any player can create an own a new subarena
//2=Only mods+ can own newly created subarenas
//3=Smods+ own new subarenas
//4=Sysops own new subarenas
//5=New subarenas won't make new files, will just use spawn.cfg instead. If a .cfg is already created for subarena, will use that instead

I always used 5

It should create .scr files when it stores scores for an arena

How often a custom arena saves its scores to the hard drive (in case something goes wrong)

Misc:SaveSpawnScore

If set to 1, will save spawn scores to arenaname.scr. If set to 0, or blank, will not create useless .scr files.

Ya... that's the one...

If you're using arena mode 5, make sure that value is set to 0 in spawn.cfg, however... Else I think it will create a bunch of useless scr files whenever someone ?go'es to a default arena
