Map Restarts Triggered by the zBlock Plugin
On changing the value of certain server cvars when running the zBlock plugin your server will automatically restart the current map (kicking all players to give the reason for the map change), this is done to ensure a level playing field on your server and also for ease of use to server administrators.
A change in the following cvars will trigger a map restart:
zb_active (on only)
zb_warmode
sv_cheats (off from on)
sv_pure
sv_consistency
CAUTION: Be careful that you do not make contradicting references to these cvar values in your "server.cfg" (ran automatically on map loads) as this will cause your server to repeatedly reload the map.
i.e.
sv_pure 0
...
sv_pure 2
zb_warmode
Warmode is a new concept found in zBlock from version 4.5, this is designed to give a distinction in the plugins configuration between a public and a private/competition/war-server.
As such when zb_warmode is disabled the settings are not as strict. We turn off things such as map consistency, the super-boost fix, warnings and welcome messages.
With warmode on we enable the match functionality and lock down a lot of the server cvars, disable certain features which are unsuitable for competitive play and also only allow pausing during round-end and freeze-time.
We expect further features to be tied in with the functionality of the cvar in the future.
Plugin Not Loading?
If the plugin does not seem to be loading, here are some tips for troubleshooting the issue.
Restart the server and join and type "rcon plugin_print", is zBlock listed in the list of plugins?
-If it is, then maybe "zb_active" is set to '0'.
Load the plugin manually using:
rcon plugin_load "addons/zblock"
View the message which appears, this should help you locate the issue.
-Note: This action will not actually allow you to load the plugin, but should indicate the problem.
Stop your server.
Remove all zBlock files from your "addons/" directory.
Make sure the server is up-to-date using the hldsupdatetool (use the "-verify_all" command line option when updating to check for corrupt files).
Re-install zBlock as per the instructions in this text file. (Make sure your version of zBlock is also the latest).
Restart the server. |
