It's fine mate! I downloaded individual map from Jolt.uk (available in their download section). Could it be possible that when using an arena map, the rotation become disabled? If I start on ra3map1, it'll always stay on ra3map1 and never switch to the other map I place in rotation?

how to start a mutiarena server

where? behind my monitor. "joke" i downloaded some real life the last time.

so here my advice:
i hope i understand u right. u want to start a mutiarena map and this map rotate after 1 hour. from ra3map1 to ra3map2 ?

or

u want to start a "main map" and rotate the submaps into it?

---
both ways are not possible when i remeber right.

u can only start a multiarena map. but no rotation after time, of course u can set a rotation file. but only the command "rotate" works then he dont do it automatic... but correcting me if im wrong

normally callvote map is used if there is multiarena maps.

edit:
this might work

Quote:

Cron Tab
Set the xp_crontab "crontab.txt" variable to the file where your crontab script is.
A crontab is basically a list of commands that are executed at a given date/time.
The syntax format is the same as the *nix crontab use.
Here is a short overview:

Each line has the format:
minute hour day month dayofweek /command
For any of the above values, an asterisk Star can be used to specify all valid values. For example, an asterisk for the month value means execute the command every month within the constraints of the other values.

A hyphen (-) between integers specifies a range of integers. For example, 1-4 means the integers 1, 2, 3, and 4.

A list of values separated by commas (,) specifies a list. For example, 3, 4, 6, 8 indicates those four specific integers.

The forward slash (/) can be used to specify step values. The value of an integer can be skipped within a range by following the range with /. For example, 0-59/2 can be used to define every other minute in the minute field. Step values can also be used with an asterisk. For instance, the value */3 can be used in the month field to run the task every third month.

Any lines that begin with a hash mark (#) or a double slash (//) are comments and are not processed.
[code:1]
Example:
# examples
* * * * * /say this is executed every minute!
* * * * 1 /say this is executed every minute but only on mondays!
*/5 * * * * /say this is executed every 5 minutes!
0 15 5 2 * /say this is executed on the 5th February at 15:00 o'clock!

# change config at midnight
0 0 * * * /exec your-midnight-fun.cfg
[/code:1]

taken out of the e+docs

edit
[code:1]
i think its like this (im sure there is a better solution, but my english aint that good when im tired):

0 15 * * * /map ra3map1
0 16 * * * /map ra3map9
[/code:1]
etc, will change map on server at 15:00 to ra3map1, at 16:00 to ra3map9

The first option Happy Rotate from ra3map1 to ra3map2 and so on every hour. Using crontab good idea Skull! I'll test it out!

Here's the final crontab :

# crontab
#
# Format: minute hour day month dayofweek /command

*/30 * * * * /rotate

I added a ra3mapx.txt in the arenas folder for all the 16 maps because it would automaticaly set g_gametype to 7 and fraglimit to 20 (I wanted g_gametype 8 and fraglimit 15). This way the maps rotate every 30 minutes Happy Thanks for your great help lads!
