UT2Vote Loading Games Twice

[[GO]Doc]

I haven't found any information on this here or elsewhere, so here goes:

I load UT2Vote51.UT2VoteX as the only mutator in my startup script. I then load mutators in the individual game type area in UT2Vote.

When I start the server and tail the log file, I see everything looking normal and it loads the game and I see this, which is normal:

Master server requests heartbeat 0 with code 36100
Master server requests heartbeat 1 with code 36100
Master server requests heartbeat 2 with code 36100
Master server assigned our MatchID: 20556633

Then, the server continues to cycle and runs everything again starting with this statement:

Server switch level:

So, for every map, the server is cycling twice, which takes a lot of time waiting for the map to load.

I think it does it because the only mutator loaded at startup is UT2Vote and it has to cycle again for all the mutators in UT2Vote to load. Maybe I'm wrong.

QUESTION: Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to make it load only once?

I can provide more log information if required. Any help here is appreciated. It think UT2Vote is a great mutator. I love it, except for above.

Thanks,

It should only be initiated from your commandline and yes, it will restart itself initially to add packages for the current gametype (if needed). For it to double run on each mapchange though.. it sounds like something else is trying to initiate it as well. You don't have it in the UT2Vote.ini on the servermuts= or serverline= entries I hope.
Another reminder: don't delete or comment out the default gametype entries in the ini! UT2Vote needs them to operate correctly. Set them to Hide=true if need be, but don't remove them.

Also, v52 is out if you're in the mood to upgrade while doublechecking logs/ini files.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I believe I do have some game types commented out. I'll fix that. And, I'll be upgrading with a day or so.

Thanks again,

Well . . .

I checked and I did have it on the ServerMuts= line in the UT2Vote51.ini file. I removed that entry and I'll see how it works now. Maybe some of the weird things that used to happen will stop.

Thanks again,

Let us know how it turns out so the next person who has a similar problem will find all this in a search.

About the 'keeping all the default gametypes...'

Does it matter what order we keep them in, and do we have to keep them all before the new entries we add? Or does that not matter?

I have two servers running UT2vote, but it seems on one of them, one gametype disappears from the menu when we're playing another.

Nope, order of them doesn't matter. In fact you can set them up in the ini in the order you prefer or allow them to be alpha sorted.
As for one disappearing, the one currently in play should never appear in the list to be voted.

 

[heheman3000]

alpha sorted? where's the option for that?

 

[ProAsm]

[UT2Vote52.UT2VoteIniOnly]
bSortGameList
bSortMutList
If these are False (Default) then the Games and Mutators will remain in the order you put them.
Set them True and the Game and Mut lists will be Alpha sorted on every Server startup.
