You can start your server with any arena from the drop-down menu you are offered, which will include all the new arenas you have put in your map file. The problem is, if you limit the time of that arena, the next arena you get will be an old arena, and the arenas will cycle through in the same old way from then on. Unless, that is, you go into the Nerf.ini file or files on your computer. I have three of these for some reason, but it is the biggest of the three, at 14KB, which, near the bottom, has lists of maps. The third list is the one for PointBlast arenas; the first twelve lines (maps 0 to 11) have the regular arenas listed, but after that the lines just have the map number; so, fill in the names of the new arenas there, for example if you just wanted to add the earliest new arenas, it would be:
Maps[12] PM-HallofGiantsRemix.nrf Maps[13] PM-LongestYard.nrf Maps[14] PM-Morbias][Remix.nrf Maps[15] PM-MorpheusRemix.nrf Maps[16] PM-Vulcanizer.nrf Maps[17] PM-InjectorRemix.nrf Maps[18] PM-SpaceNoxxRemix.nrf Maps[19] PMOrbitspire.nrf Maps[20] PM-FrigateRemix.nrf Maps[21] PM-Surge3Remix.nrf Maps[22] PM-HealPod][Remix.nrf Maps[23] PM-CoughinRemix.nrf Maps[24] PM-FractalRemix.nrf ...etc In fact, you can choose whatever 32 maps you like. It is vital that you use exactly the same spelling and punctuation as listed above; note the missing hyphen between "PM" and "Orbitspire". When you have saved the changes to the file when prompted, and closed it, you should now have a server which goes through all the maps, old and new, in order, so if you set it going with 15 minutes of Hall of Giants, that will be followed with the same time for Longest Yard, Morbias, and so on - and it will be eight hours before you get to Hall of Giants again, if your list is 32 maps long! |
