Hi,
How is it that some servers that play round based games SD, SR etc can display real time round information in their name? “CoD4Server | KillALL| Round 6/15” for example
Is there some script or something to do this? I notice a lot on Promod servers so is it a promod thing only?
Would like to do that also if possible with OW based MoD.
Many thanks.

Not come across this but it would be interesting to know
Have you seen what I mean @MAD_DAD it’s interesting. I had seen before but not really thought too much about it 
Would like to know how
example: eBc|Promod S&D - Round: 5/20 [cod4] Call of Duty 4
Yes its promod and seems that it could only be promod. Must be a way to use in OW though if so.
Could it be code in promod that does it?
If so why not download promod and search through the scripts to see if there is one.
Personally I can’t see how a server sided script could affect the server name in the browser in that way but I could be completely wrong
If there is a script in there then could it be isolated and extracted to be used in your OW?
ok Just looked at server browser in cod4 I would think the script is quite easy to do in theory:
script elements would be something like:
getcurrentround
if currentround = 1 set sv_hostname “servername - round 1”
if currentround = 2 set sv_hostname “servername - round 2”
if currentround = 3 set sv_hostname “servername - round 3”
etc
This is just simplified and not actual code to give you an idea on how it could be done
in gsx code it could look something like:
roundinname()
{
round = self getCurrentRound();
if ( round == "1")
self setDvar( "sv_hostname", "servername - round 1");
else
if ( round == "2")
self setDvar( "sv_hostname", "servername - round 2");
else
if ( round == "3")
self setDvar( "sv_hostname", "servername - round 3");
}
you would need to know what the currentround is actually termed as
That’s looks feasible and something to try out.
Will have a look in Promod too and see if I can see anything. It is also showing on RoTu servers so thinking must be something like you have described. Thank you.
If you find out anymore let me know and I will likewise.
This is in the RoTu basic server,cfg
// Use dynamic hostname (1) or sv_hostname above (0)
set game_changing_hostname 1
// Time in seconds between updates of the dynamic hostname, disabled if game_changing_hostname is 0
set game_changing_hostname_time 2
// Server Hostname when game_changing_hostname is 1
// REPLACEMENTS:
// PIHN_VERSIONFULL - Version (incl. "RotU-Revolution")
// PIHN_VERSIONSHORT - Version number only
// PIHN_PLAYERS - Amount of Players
// PIHN_SOLDIERS - Amount of Soldiers
// PIHN_ASSASSINS - Amount of Assassins
// PIHN_ARMOREDS - Amount of Armoreds
// PIHN_ENGINEERS - Amount of Engineers
// PIHN_SCOUTS - Amount of Scouts
// PIHN_MEDICS - Amount of Medics
// PIHN_ALIVEPLAYERS - Players alive
// PIHN_DOWNEDPLAYERS - Players down
// PIHN_MAXPLAYERS - Slots (without bots)
// PIHN_ZOMBIESALIVE - Zombies alive
// PIHN_WAVENUMBER - Wave Number
// PIHN_WAVENAME - Name of wave
// PIHN_WAVESIZE - Size of current wave
// PIHN_WAVEKILLED - Amount of killed zombies in the current wave
// PIHN_WAVELEFT - Amount of zombies left to end the wave
// PIHN_BESTPLAYER - Best Player Name (Score)
// PIHN_MOSTKILLSPLAYER - Most Kills Player name
set sv_newhostname "RotU-^1REVOLUTION ^7PIHN_VERSIONSHORT ^3Plrs: ^2PIHN_ALIVEPLAYERS^7/^1PIHN_DOWNEDPLAYERS ^7| ^3Wave: ^1PIHN_WAVENUMBER ^7- ^1PIHN_WAVENAME ^7| ^1PIHN_WAVEKILLED/PIHN_WAVESIZE"
I would say that the mod assigns them variables and they are actually called something else in game.
Maybe a more knowledgeable person could help out here?

trimRight( string )
{
i = string.size;
for(; i && string[i-1] == " "; i-- ){}
return getSubStr( string, 0, i );
}
Made for Promod so not sure will work with OW.
However something to work with
UPDATE: Ta Da…Thanks JEENNN
Just for info done exactly what it says on the code at top.
Nice one SMiLeY, glad you got it working
The only thing I will say is that it starts off as Round 0/15 for example. Should it not be 1/15 ? As in the server is currently in Round 1 ?
When you are on Round 2 its showing Round 1/15
Its showing rounds played rather than what round. Depends on how people read it i guess.
I would assume it should be
Code is set to current round
Thats an interesting workaround. I wonder if it would work with gametype. Just for kicks.
I tried changing “roundsplayed” to “currentRound” but never worked. Server would not start.
Will just have to get head around that 0/11 means no rounds have been played (completed) and it is on round 1.
I just think it would be better if it said 1/11 and meaning we are in round 1
addRoundsToHostname( currentRound, maxRounds ){
setHostName( getOriginalHostname() + " " + level.hostnameSeperator + " Round: " + (currentRound+1) + "/" + maxRounds );
}```Thx again JEENNN Perfect…

Help, pls. I used promodlive 262
Whats on line 1?
Send script
Thank you, I figured it out and added this script to my server https://pmlkam.ru
