Title: Changing server settings based on incoming map
Post by: Ace on June 29, 2017, 11:56:13 AM

This question is with regards to the sv_airaccelerate cvar. Let's say map1, map2, and map3 use sv_airaccelerate "0", but we want map4 to use sv_airaccelerate "1".

My question is, is there a way to check the incoming map, change the cvar, and proceed to the next map without forcing a server restart?

It's not possible without editing the game source I think.
But, you can set the next map using the same script that sets airaccelerate.

I do have access to the jump mod's source, ill look into changing it at that level.

okay, i think that a writing a script using dplib would be an easier (but not 'cleaner') solution though.

I was looking through some of the library, is there a function in particular that I could use to do it? Perhaps just link it with the `next map` thing?

The library doesn't support the GameEnd event yet, but it will soon (1-2 days). The easiest trick would be to wait for Game end and set the cvar then change the map using sv newmap.
