Hi,

One question, especial @ xlr8or 
Im very happy with the RotationManager Plugin, but would it possible to create a second plugin or add a function wich chance game dvars in dependence of the current Map and|or gametype?
somewhat like:
 if map == mp_example {
       set sv_allow sniper 2
       set sv_allow someothervar 0
}
if g_gametype == dm {
      set sv_maxnade = 9
}
[...]
after mapchanche i use the <set name="mapdelay">45</set> and fast_restart, so B3 has time to set, and round would be restarted with the new dvars for this map, so this would be no problem.
Would be a cool feature in combination with mods like awe or admiral-mod (no tripwires on deathmatch, only 2 snipers on small maps, allow camping but no killcam @ sd gametype etc..)

Interesting... I will go sit on it and let it cook for a while.

edit: doesn't AWE have this already? I think AWE is using BOCO's utility for it.

Didn't know... i prefer the Bigbrother Way  Im running a  AWE based Mod, (based on awe3b7 + some stuff from admiralmod + some stuff from me) - didn't think about make this ingame. I assume Bigbrother can do this better by rcon.

I'm talking about CoD2, but i think ie disable tanks in some uo maps, disable some weappon in cod"1"  or people who dont like mods would use that too.

I will think it over, see if B3 can handle this better...

In the mean time here's the code I'm refering to: http://callofduty.snt.utwente.nl/index.php/Scripting:CvarDef

It is built into CoD/UO/CoD2.  All you have to do is create a config file (eg: mp_carentan_tdm.cfg) and add what dvars you want.  The only drawback is you have to do it for each map, otherwise whatever you set for the first map, stays.  Any changes that you want globally would have to be done for each map cfg as well.

Oh, i remember. Well, i havent think about this option because i need it not Maprelated.  I want (dis-)allow some  Feature on some Gametyp. Ie. i have a anticamping feature on, (You will be crushed by a Piano if you dont move for a longer time) Its real funny  in DM or TDM, but in SD you need sometimes a sniper who protect you from one single point. Another example: We use the AWE Tripwire, makes CTF a little more exciting because you cant rush over the map without run in the risk to walk  in the tripwire trap. In DM this would be exploited to place tripwire @ any Spawnpunkt - so you have no Chance to survive.

The script wich xlr8or has posted would do the trick, but i would prefer the  xml-config file from B3 Maprotation Plugin. (Because you dont need to change some different config Files on new added Custommaps, and you dont need to restart the CoD Server, a simple restart or re-read config of B3 is enough)

unfortunately i have no experience in python programming. Maybe someday i would buy a Book about this

Ah I see.  You want it tied to the the gametype, not the maps.  That would take a bit of coding.

Hey, kewl!


would you marry me?   

No, seriously, great Work! Immediately installed, but can't test it before tomorrow.

[xlr8or]

Your welcome... but I'm already married 

It's a first draft,it should run without errors, but I'm eager to read your bugs/comments in the ConfigManager thread!
