Rotating Maps

Windows

All paths should be in 8.3 notation e.g. progra~1 not program files

Don't forget to add -g and -time <secs> to your config files.

Press CTRL-C twice and "y" to answer "Terminate Batch Job (y/n)?" to exit.

You will probably need to edit the paths to the bzfs binary and your configuration files.

You should have all your config files in the same directory as you specified in the script.

@ECHO OFF

BREAK ON

SET BZFSPATH=c:\progra~1\bzflag~1.2\bzfs.exe

IF "%1" == "" SET CONFDIR=c:\your\path\to\conf\files

IF NOT "%1" == "" SET CONFDIR=%1


:loop_top

ECHO.

FOR %%b IN (%CONFDIR%\*.conf) DO %BZFSPATH% -conf %%b

ECHO "Reached end of rotation, starting over.


GOTO loop_top

Linux

Put seperate config files for each map into a folder and direct CONFIGPATH to it or enter the path on the commandline.

b=0
if [ $1 ]; then
   CONFIGPATH=$1   
else
   CONFIGPATH="/your/path/to/configfiles"
fi

until [ $b -lt 0 ]; do
   cd $CONFIGPATH
   ls -1 > /tmp/confnos
   
   LIMIT=$(awk 'END { print NR }' /tmp/confnos)

   for (( a=1; a <= LIMIT ; a++ ))
   do
      COM="NR=="$a
      FILE=$(awk $COM /tmp/confnos)
      FILE="$CONFIGPATH/$FILE"
      bzfs -conf $FILE
   done
done

Mac OS X

Save the script below as rotate.sh

After editing the CONFIGPATH and path to bzfs, type chmod a+x rotate.sh and then ./rotate.sh to run the script.

b=0
CONFIGPATH="/path/to/config/files"
cd $CONFIGPATH
until [ $b -lt 0 ]; do
   for FILE in *
   do
      RUNFILE=$CONFIGPATH"/"$FILE
      /path/to/bzfs/bzfs -conf $RUNFILE
   done
done
