Thank you! That solved it. I tried to look for an answer in the old posts in this list, but missed it. Working great now.
So, can I specify the starting map in a config file instead of +map on the command line then? .Sami -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J T Sent: 26. marraskuuta 2008 19:01 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Fork not working while single server is fine It's a bug, and valve has even said so on this mailing list. You should be specifying +map not -map. By default if you start a single server, the mapcycle.txt is read and whatever is first is loaded (I think). But with -fork it doesn't do this, for some reason it expects the first map to be taken from the command line arguments.
