How can I set players to the charlie or delta team when I am hosting a server in CTF mode?

Thanks in advance

use the setteam command
Charlie
/setteam3 PLAYERNUMBER

Delta
/setteam4 PLAYERNUMBER

Spectator
/setteam5 PLAYERNUMBER

it doesn't work in CTF, only in TeamMatch.

/setteam1 and /setteam2 work fine

likewise /addbot1 and /addbot2 work, but not /addbot3 and /addbot4.

A lot of my friends have been trying this as well; the Evo man has it working on his server, but nobody else does (i think he flipped a trigger somewhere)

CTF is for 2 teams... not 4... You could try making a TDM server then load CTF maps, but other than that you cant go charlie/delta team in CTF for logical reasons.

...No kidding... that is why I asked; I know that it will require some sort of hack, and I know that others have done it..

well, the maps don't have Charlie and Delta bases, so it is kinda pointless.

No it kicks ass, because you can switch to charlie and kill both reds and blues; be a 3rd party guerilla of sorts

If you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it. But it can be done and it's bundles of joy

Only thing I can think of is to hex it so that it adds 4 teams in ctf mode. Is there a hexing guide somewhere online so that I don't have to figure out locations myself?

Has anybody succeeded in decompiling the dll/exe files? Is that a question I can ask here? I'll try Salamander later on.

I used to be able to do this with older Soldat Server Versions, I guess the servers you had been playing on are outdated. Ask them what server version they are using.

I guess it wasn't just an old server version bug, I was able to replicate it with Server Version 2.2.9:
[IMAGE]
..if that helps at all.

By the way, instead of making 2 posts in a row, could you use the [IMAGE]Edit function to keep the topic a bit neater.

Don't know if I should be posting this here, since it's technically a bug, but it's one of those fun ones like Ice Proning.

i don't think this qualifies as a bug. but just curious, is it possible to make maps which have charlie and delta bases/flags? I think it would be kinda cool to have 2v2v2 or 2v2v2v2 pr 3v3v3 etc etc matches in CTF

actually, if a team doesn't have a spawnpoint, they will spawn at bonus spawnpoints. likewise, if at least two grenade box spawnpoints aren't placed on a map, grenades will start spawning at player spawnpoints. don't ask why, i haven't got a clue...

PS can anyone see my avatar?

do what keydon wrote. /setteamX always work. You have to be admin tho..

Does it only work in Soldat Server (console version)? I was trying it before with Soldat Dedicated Server.

he, this gives me a idea of a new kind of zombie server, normal ctf, but all bots on yellow
