help with arena script

[Buffet_of_Lies]

Today I've been trying to help a user get arena mode working with pysnip. I had it working on pyspades a year ago but now I am finding that I can't get the damn thing to work.

Did something change in the past year? I have the arena.py script in the scripts folder and proper arena mode map and map text config. Yet I am baffled.

There seems to be two versions of the script; the older one, which you seem to have, and the newer one, found here.

The older one would work perfectly well if you simply added it to the scripts in the config, although the game mode would need to be CTF and would show as that in the server list. The new one requires you to change the game mode to Arena, which is what you've tried to do.

The new one works by telling the game to use the CTF game mode inside the script, rather than explicitly state it in the config. The game can only handle two modes, CTF and TC. All custom game modes are some variant of them.

Thank you, Influx! That seems to have done the trick. You have just improved relations with NorthSouth Korea ten-fold!
