Difficulty with menus

[osensei]

The guyz on my server wanted to get into a match the other day when the opposing clan requested CAL Official match be turned on.

None of the other admins could set the option. They said that the option did not do anything once they chose it. So being the server op, I attempted to set it up myself.

I went to amxmodmenu in the console and the menus presented themselves as expected. However, when I selected the CAL Official Match configuration the menu closed and none of the configs where changed.

This coupled with the fact that none of my Windows servers will run VAC even when the option is set lead to an embarrassing situation of us being called cheaters. The AMX manual is so insufficient, its shameful. Only info on installation and config files is found there. Where is the documentation 4 operations?

Can anyone shed some light on the situation.

Thanks

There is a file in amx/config directory called config.ini


There are these lines:

; Menu configuration file
; File location: $moddir/addons/amx/configs.ini
; To use with Commands Menu plugin

; NOTE: By default in all settings the access level is set to "u".
;	   However you can change that, to limit the access to some settings.

; Commands Menu:
; < description > < command > < flags > < access level >
; "a" - execute from server console
; "b" - execute from admin console
; "c" - execute on all clients
; "d" - back to menu when executed

"Clanbase" "exec clanbase.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"Clanbase Charges Only" "exec clanbase_co.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"Clanbase ECUP 8" "exec cbecup8.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"

"CAL" "exec cal.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ProvingGrounds" "exec leagues/pg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"

"OGL CS Server Config" "exec ogl.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"OGL CS FF Server Config" "exec ogl_ff.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"OGL CS Advanced Server Config" "exec ogl_adv.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"

"CPL" "exec cpl.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"

"ESL Fun Map" "exec eslfunmap.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL 5on5" "exec esl5on5mr.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL 5on5 Charges Only" "exec esl5on5co.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL 1on1" "exec esl1on1.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL 2on2" "exec esl2on2.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL 3on3" "exec esl3on3.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"
"ESL EAS" "exec esleas.cfg.cfg;servercfgfile \'\'" "a" "u"

Look at them - evry configuration You want to invoke, You need some file *.cfg placed in cstrike directory (if I remember good th edefault place of them). It means You need to prepare these files before You want to use them (or take from some other colleague from his server). Another reason You can't activate the configuration You want - You don't have the access to execute these commands (that flag "u" in the example above - maybe is different in Your config.ini file).

Sounds liek you need to update your server.

Have you run the update tool in the base server directory lately?
For example my server is in c:\HLServer
Run this..
c:\HLServer\hldsupdatetool -command update -game cstrike

Mine was not going into secure mode, but after an update it does..
