Server crashed this morning hard, taking the server.ini with it. I had to recreate it from scratch. I think I covered all the bases, but let me know if you see something strange.

Yeah don't forge to add the admins. Last time I tried to do some "random" map selection and I couldn't do it.
Weird...I wonder.... :dontknow:

- the admins - Admin- Groups Privs and sub privs .. as they had been set by Toxic . I believe get stored in a separete file called Xadmin.ini , nothing to do with the server ini .. xept for the fact that you have to choose 1 out of 2 ways of administration in the server ini file . I wonder how come the server ini got lost in a server crash, did the whole system folder got damaged? -- :sad3: lets back it up somewhere jic now..
Everything seems to be working just fine .. :)

The server.ini file was in use when the server went down. I have seen this before. Whole file was empty.
Fortunately, I had recently posted the maplist. That was the bulk of the work.

I think Thursday I tryed to log in as well just to get the server off Torlan and I couldnt. I was in a little bit of a hurry so I just assumed I was mistyping something.

If there is a file that gets hosed,the server.ini is usually the file to get hosed when the server crashes, happened to me a few times. It can be a pain to redo when that happens....

This is a shot in the dark, but i think you need to alphabetize the map list. Since were no longer useing UTvote, i believe the are read in from the server ini and ordered that way. It gets annoying when your looking for something.
