Unable to load MatchSettings Elite

[Froud]

Hi guys,

so i have a little problem with my shootmania server. a few month ago i already had two shootmania elite server installed and running. everything was fine.

after the latest patch i wanted to reinstall the servers, i reinstalled them, started them, everything was fine so far, but here comes the problem.

when the server starts, it says :

Match settings file : MatchSettings\SMStormElite1.txt

[2013/05/14 14:47:27] Loading map Elite - WindOfChange.Map.Gbx (uiS9Q7DcDLCfC82LqQVgys6pGRj)...
[2013/05/14 14:47:27] ...Load succeeds
[2013/05/14 14:47:27] Script 'Mode:Elite': 1105> Successfully loaded online settings

the problem is the matchsetting file, the server does not load my matchesetting file, it is loading the default file with the default settings and mappool.

i dont know why, if i delete @nadeolabs in the title, the whole server want load because auf an "unkown title" issue.

this is very strange for me because it works fine before.

i really hope you can help me guys

You just need to give the name of your matchsettings when you launch the server.

i did, it doesnt work, the name of my matchsettingsfile is SMStormElite1.txt, the server says that t he settings were loaded, but they didnt, it is the default mappool, and the default matchsettings, the settings and maps in my SMStormElite1.txt file are totally different

[jonthekiller]

It's also the same name of the default matchsettings file. Try to change the name of your file.

[Froud]

when i change the matchsettings file, for example in SMStormElite2.txt

the following happen:

[2013/05/14 15:35:14] Match settings file : MatchSettings\SMStormElite2.txt
[2013/05/14 15:35:14] Loading match settings...
[2013/05/14 15:35:14] ...ERROR: New mode unknown.
...Could not load the match settings
[2013/05/14 15:35:14] Server not started: no Maps available. Check your matchsettings!
[2013/05/14 15:35:14] Server not running, exiting.
[2013/05/14 15:35:15] Exiting...

again, i dont understand this issue, before the patch i had no problems with this :/

[jonthekiller]

Can you put your matchsettings file?

I think you used some custom files with the same name of default files and they have been modified with the update.

here is my complete matchsettingsfile:

I've splitted the topic as this is a problem which "needs" its own topic and not somewhere in a post about documentation.

I've added it to the frequent errors document: https://github.com/maniaplanet/document ... -errors.md
