| When an arena fills up and rolls over into a sub-areana (Public 2), what exactly happens to the config file, map file, etc..? For example: Does it copy server.cfg to a temp config file with a new name (ex: server2.cfg)? |

Nope. Same file.

The server reads in the settings and stores them in memory. Maps are 1MB so it might only load them when a player requests it or for the checksum. Public arenas all use the same settings (and thus map) in server.cfg, so it doesn't create any files to create another public arena. For nonpublic subarenas, what the server does depends on the Arenamode setting in server.ini In some cases it writes out a new <arena>.cfg file from the pub settings stored in memory. I don't know why you'd want to know what happens internally though. See the comments in server.ini for the Arenamode setting, I think that's what you want.

So if I make a setting change in (Public 0), let's say I change DoorMode, that is going to replicate to all (Public !=0) arenas that are already created, or will this only affect new (Public !=0) spawns?
If I change a setting in (Public !=0), will it still update server.cfg, or just modify the settings in memory for that arena?
Just curious.

when you make a settings change, you are changing a .cfg (or .set) file
if it's a pub arena, it'll be server.cfg
when you hit ESC, then C, it will tell you the name of the file
and public arena uses server.cfg |
