Topic: [HELP] how to run a mod in CTF or TDM?

i enjoy the mod "military" but i'm unable to start a game with CTF or TDM settings. it always starts just as standard DM.
what's the right server config?
and also,what does it mean to play in a pure vanilla server?
i intend to run this server just for lan parties, anyway. i read you risk a ban? is it true?

I don't know the military mod but, like each ather mod and server, need a config file to execute. Build a file called name.cfg with your text editor and save it in the teeworld_srv folder. After that launch the server using the command:
teeworlds_srv -f name.cfg

Like said, I dont know this mod, but the basic config for play on standard ctf servers are:
sv_name NAME
sv_port 8303
sv_players 16 (i'm not sure at 100% about this... bad memory)
sv_spectator_slots 4
sv_tournament_mode 1
sv_map ctf2
sv_maprotation ctf2

Vanilla servers are standard and official non-tuned teeworlds server (DM-TDM-CTF), the one you can download from teeworlds.com in the download section.

You risk a ban if you run a MOD version of the server (non-vanilla) with the gametype set to DM-TDM-CTF. For instagib, for example, you need to put i in front of the tag (iDM, iTDM, iCTF).
Btw, if you wanna use teeworlds in a lan party, you don't need to call the masterserver, so in the config file you can add this line:
sv_send_heartbeat 0

thanks!! you helped me a lot.
an other problem i had, is that when I start a game for me and my friends playing on my router, other people on the net can't join if I give them the direct IP address to connect. How come?
do you know other good mods with classes selection, like Team Fortress?
thanks again!

They can find your server in the LAN tab of Teeworlds. If they can't see you, I don't know tongue

I remember there were some good mods in old version like 0.4.x, actually, I don't think there are many. You can use the search function in the forum tongue

yeah sry...
It's sv_gametype ctf. If still don't work the mod may read this:

*** Gametypes ***
ctf
tdm
dm
(all named: MILITARY)

so i think sv_gametype ctf will work.

BTW
