Map vote 2004 game config limts

[curlyj]

Hello.

I have been trying to track down a problem with map vote, and the amout of text being used in the gameconfig= lines.

Im no good at trying to explain the bug I think I have found - So i will paste in here the post I made at Atari forums- Server administration.
=======================================
ok here is what I have found

I set up a new server - fully patched - turned on web admin, and ingame voting.

I didnt install any mods, patches, skins etc.

I left all the default game vote switches, I just added a default game type, no mods, no options

Like so:-

GameConfig=(GameClass="XGame.xDeathMatch",Prefix="dm",Acronym="DM",GameName="Death Match2",Mutators=,Options=)

This works!
But if u add one character in, to any line, it errors!!!

I know there are a lot of lines there! - 41, but the more you add to one line - mutators, options etc the less space u have for further lines.

heres my map vote config, without mutators - to save space.
There is no space to add another line
