In general world this happens when the server loads too much stuff. Often it is caused by having too many custom pk3's. But I am glad you got it solved.

What kind of server settings? Reinforcements, AI respawning? These affect how the maps script works. If you are running with hardest settings and playing alone it may take some long time to kill and possibly your ammo might not be enough unless you pick respawning weapons..

Have you tried to use debugging cheats /give all and /god?

Yes. You need to keep same folders and name of the files. But add it in a new pk3, never edit original ones. And ofc remember to name it alphabetically after.

Remember you need to copy some files from RTCW files. Iirc it is folder texts in SP_pak1.

As a starter I am kinda against the classes, because it will easily break the balance, but I think there might be ways to implement it. With a different game setting, selecteable cvar ofc.

It would be pretty much Medic and Field Ops (call an ammo drop from a plane??) probably. But I think the count they can carry should be limited to only few. And also as in ET, they could not carry real guns anymore.. Reviving would be probably most useful thing so you would not have to wait for your friend to run back to your location.

As a side note it could be fun to implement random landmines (this could be manually preset in Ents file, forexample place 30 entities in a map and randomly spawn 10 of them). Then engineers could disarm them when encountered. This way we could limit the routes that are usable, so you cannot use all shortcuts. Also field/covert ops could maybe spot them? Basicly everything could be done in mapping, except the code for landmine and engineer. This would be only way to slow down the Web clan...

Cooool

Does the server run on same computer as client? Are you logged on the server as admin or such?

That would be so great! I think they dont currently get all the games they deserve.

What do you mean?

Great pics!

I think it is to do with having too much custom content loaded.

Here is a quote from Etlegacy site:

Configstrings or the configstring

The configstring internally controls the game and is splitted into single configstrings. Configstrings are strings containing data related to the game and game state. These are set on the server, and automatically sent to each client.

Each configstring is identified by a number, which is referenced by a #defined in the ET gamecode - see game/bg_public.h. A group of related configstrings up to 64 such as CS_MODELS, CS_PLAYERS usually have a symbolic name for the first value, with a number (entity number in the case of CS_PLAYERS) added to to get a particular value.
Important to know:

    Each connected player adds about 140 chars to the configstring
    pk3 files on the server are part of the configstring (admins shouldn’t put more than 20 maps into etmain folder)
    Server side forced cvars are part of the configstring!
    Fireteams reserve configstrings (this is the most case for ingame MAX GAMESTATECHARS EXCEEDED error + object trigger info)
    When using colors 2 additional chars are added (player names, announcements etc)

The map runs into MAX GAMESTATECHARS EXCEEDED error

This happens when the configstrings size - the configstring in total - reaches the limit of 16000 chars. This bug is heavily dependant on how many maps/pk3 files are in path because all pk3s in path (fs_homepath and fs_basepath) are stored in the CS_SYSTEMINFO (see cmd: "csinfo 1") twice. By name and by checksum.
It’s also dependant on how a map is designed and which settings are done by an admin (see above part "Important to know")

Shorten the strings - all names! This starts with the name of your map or the name of the pk3 and ends with file names.
In general keep names of any game objects short! The configstring is related to admin settings but also considers used names for objects of the map.

The Legacy mod has got an additional command to get the size of the configstring. Console "csinfo" cmd will print the total size of the configstrings. You can also add a parameter to this command to print the content and size of a single configstring "csinfo 1".
Trigger names and names in *.script and *.sound files

Ensure trigger names aren’t too long. See CS_OID_TRIGGERS part in the configstring.

New assets

Whenever you add new assets or objects: Use short names.
For names of:

    Shader definitions
    Files (sound, models)

Finally if there are less chars in the configstrings the server has less data to communicate!
How to see what’s inside the string?

In ET main you can use the /configstrings server cmd to get some info about the string. Some mods have special commands. In legacy mod or NQ f.e. there is /csinfo or /csinfo <configstring_No>.

Yes, great shooting!

Well done!
