I have a Xonotic server running on a Linux host on my LAN. I'm trying to set it up to download random maps from a map server, namely http://xonotic.fps.gratis/ . According to the instructions at https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/-/wik...-downloads , it should be just a matter of adding the following line in my server.cfg:
...but apparently I don't know what I'm doing, because I'm only getting the set of default local maps. What am I missing?
Below is the complete server.cfg (most of the customizations are at the end), followed by the output of the server when strarting up and before any players connect:
Code:
"sv_curl_defaulturl" "http://xonotic.fps.gratis/"...but apparently I don't know what I'm doing, because I'm only getting the set of default local maps. What am I missing?
Below is the complete server.cfg (most of the customizations are at the end), followed by the output of the server when strarting up and before any players connect:
Code:
// This is an example config, to actually use it, copy it to ~/.xonotic/data on linux
// or the equivalent directory on your OS (https://xonotic.org/faq/#config).
// Two slashes start a comment until the end of the line.
// Surround settings with double quotes (e.g. cvar_name "some value") unless they're a single number or word.
// Cvar means console variable.
// Just "" means empty string.
// Semicolon separates commands (in console or in aliases).
// Search for settings and descriptions using the 'search' command in console
// or online: https://xonotic.org/tools/cacs/
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Things you SHOULD change to make the server "yours" (remove the // and change the value):
//sv_public 1 // 0 or -1 (see description) if the server should not be on the public servers list
//hostname "BUZZARD 'Xonotic $g_xonoticversion Server" // this name will appear on the server list (the $g_xonoticversion gets replaced with the current version)
//sv_motd "" // displayed on connect - good place for contact info (IRC, forum nick, etc.) so players can reach you when something is wrong with your server
//sv_termsofservice_url "https://yourdomain.tld/path/to/tos" // URL for the Terms of Service for playing on your server
// It is RECOMMENDED to supply such a document containing information about if and how you collect and process user data (bridging to IRC, player stats etc),
// contact information, rules and similar information.
// This document will be shown in the server join dialog.
// This sets the remote console password on the server, you also need to set the cvar to the same value on your client to use the 'rcon' command.
// Empty means rcon is disabled.
//rcon_password ""
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Everything below has some sensible defaults so you don't really need to change anything.
// It's meant as examples for people who want to customize the server more.
// The values shown are either defaults or examples (for up to date defaults, see 'search' (or 'apropos') in console.
//maxplayers 8 // number of player slots on the server (including spectators)
//net_address 0.0.0.0 // ONLY change this if you have problems with your server. Specifies the network interface used by the engine. Set it to one of your internal IPs
//port 26000 // the port used by the server
// You are RECOMMENDED to change this value to a free port number on your server
// above 1024. The reason is that some bad ISPs might filter "gaming" ports, and
// changing the port your server runs on may make your server available to these
// people. Changing the port breaks nothing, the default simply matches Quake as
// we use a Quake-derived protocol and didn't do our own IANA port assignment yet
// (if anyone wants to go through that process, we'd be glad).
//log_file "server.log" // server console output will also be copied to this file. This: "${serverconfig}.log" uses variable substitution to make the logfile have the same name as your config file with .log appended which is useful if you run several servers
//g_start_delay 15 // delay before the game starts to let players join the server first
// List of maps to play on the server. Set to "" to autodetect (which would enumerate ALL maps. Maps that don't support the current game mode will be skipped, so you don't need to remove them here.

//g_maplist_shuffle 1 // 0 always selects the next map out of g_maplist (but then better set g_maplist_votable 0 below to prevent repetitive votes), 1 will select random maps each time
//g_maplist_mostrecent_count 3 // number of maps that have to be played before a map can be repeated
// LIMITS: how long a match will last before the next map starts (-1 means use the map default, 0 = unlimited, please note that the variables fraglimit/timelimit can NOT be globally used for this but only DURING a match is being played)
timelimit_override 1 //timelimit_override -1 // global timelimit for all maps and gametypes
fraglimit_override 5 //fraglimit_override -1 // global frag/point limit for all maps and gametypes

//g_lms_lives_override -1 // lives for LMS
//g_nexball_goallimit -1 // goals for NEXBALL
//g_ctf_ignore_frags 0 // set to 1 to ignore kills except for FC kills
// TEAMS for key hunt (change this to 2, 3, 4 to set a fixed keyhunt style)
//g_keyhunt_teams_override -1 // teams for KH
// GAME MODE: what type of server do you want to host?
// possible values: dm (deathmatch), tdm (team deathmatch), ctf (capture the flag), ca (clan arena), ft (freeze tag), kh (keyhunt), as (assault), dom (domination), lms (last man standing), ka (keepaway), inv (invasion), ons (onslaught), rc (race), cts (complete the stage), nb (nexball)

// This line sends the following data to our servers:
// - Date and time
// - Your server IP address
// - Your server ID hash, which is a fingerprint of the public key of your
// server and does not impact security of your private key (use "crypto_keys"
// on the console to show it)
// - Your server name ("hostname")
// - Current game type
// - Current map
// - Balance settings you have modified from defaults (only those that make
// your server "impure")
// - For each weapon pairing (A, B), separately for player-player, player-bot,
// bot-player, bot-bot pairings:
// - Number of hits of players/bots holding A against players/bots holding B
// - Number of frags of players/bots holding A against players/bots holding B
// - Total damage of players/bots holding A against players/bots holding B
//
// We use this data to:
// - Optimize the game balance for future releases
// - Identify problems in the bot AI and improving it
// - Find settings that make servers "impure" that should not, so we can
// whitelist them in future releases
//
// We will or might publish:
// - Global weapon pairing statistics for players vs players, or bots vs bots,
// or any vs any, on a selection of servers
// - Per-gametype and per-map weapon pairing statistics players vs players, or
// bots vs bots, or any vs any, on a selection of servers
// - Lists of commonly changed cvars, together with counts on how often they
// are modified
//
// No information about the players on the server is sent, so as a server admin
// you need no permission of your players for this.
//
// No information about your server will be published - all published data sets
// will include data from multiple servers.
