Hi, Can we please have documentation on how to setup a proper tour of duty on an unofficial server. According to http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=8985 "Remember: as always, loot is the only difference between MvM on the unofficial "Boot Camp" server and official "Mann Up" servers. Otherwise the gameplay is identical." but we don't have documentation on how to configure a server to run the tour of duty.
I last requested this on 5 September, I've included a copy of that request below. Regards, Brendan. ----- Hi, We still don't seem to have documentation on how to properly setup an MvM server with an advanced map rotation. We can use the map.cfg files to change the popfile, but at best that gives us one advanced mode per map per host (not even per server), rather than allowing us to rotate through all 6 advanced modes. We'd like to support your new game mode properly and in a professional manner, but we need documentation on how to do it. (Also, playing MannUp mode with 200+ ping is horrible, we'd love to run some Australian servers for you - we do it for EA's play for free titles Heroes & BFP4F) Regards, Brendan. ----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Smith" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]>, "Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 10 October, 2012 7:37:16 AM GMT +10:00 Brisbane Subject: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2.
