If you use matchmaking, the lobby tells your server what map and mission to use.
If you don't use matchmaking, regardless of what's in the missioncycle file, (or if it even exists!? Deleting it seems to cause no problem) users can vote to change the mission, and all missions that are in the tf/scripts/population directory show up and are available for voting. So either tell your players to join your server and then just vote to whatever level and mission they want, or perhaps use an autoexec.cfg to execute tf_mvm_popfile to switch directly to the mission you want? - Peter On Oct 9, 2012, at 22:22 PM, Brendan Cosman wrote: > Hi, > > Unless I'm missing something, nothing in that article explains how to have an > unofficial MvM server rotate through a series of different maps with > appropriate popfiles. > > tf_mvm_missioncycle.res appears to have changed in today's patch, but I'm > still unsure how to tell a TF2 server to use a specific mission cycle. > > Also, that file appears to be per install, not per server instance, which is > surprising considering all other configuration files are per-instance. > > The only information I can find by searching the archive of this list is this > statement before MvM was released by Fletcher that the file was self > explanatory.
