For the first option the cvar "mani_map_adverts" should be set to 1.

it is in both server.cfg (after loading mani) and in mani cfg

The decals are not in the   C:\Servers\cssource2\cstrike\materials\decals\custom\mani_admin_plugin directory.

They are

The decallist.txt or mapadverts.txt has not been updated in the cfg\mani_config.

both files were updated. I have checked and the only thing I could see that was possibly worth trying was in the decallist.txt file where you have the following entries:

   "mani_logo"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/mani_logo"
    "no_entry_ct"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_ct"
    "no_entry_t"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_t"

I have changed them to read:

   "mani_logo"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/mani_logo.vmt"
    "no_entry_ct"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_ct.vmt"
    "no_entry_t"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_t.vmt"

Server was then restarted and map changed.

Sorry for saying but it still dont works here

I have changed them to read:

   "mani_logo"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/mani_logo.vmt"
    "no_entry_ct"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_ct.vmt"
    "no_entry_t"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_t.vmt"

Server was then restarted and map changed.

:sad: They shouldn't need the .vmt extension as the install I have at home doesn't use it.  Does "ma_decal mani_logo" work?

As well as the no_entry_ct.vmt and no_entry_ct.vtf files, is there another file in the same directory with the same name but different extension?

ma_decal mani_logo does give the admin decal logo w/ wedadress on Aztec

Yup, there are 7 files in that folder in total.

Out of interest, once you are home,  can you please delete your local cache of the files and rejoin your home server to see if they show up?
Can you then delete them again and try boomer?

[Anonymous]

I've just checked my local cache and although I have never been on Whitey's server, or on our server since the updated decals were installed, I have 2 mani logo files in my local cache as well. I guess they have been installed by mani at some point.

OK. Checked server for a third time.

here is relevant part of mani_server.cfg:

// Module : Decal Map Adverts  
//
// Desc : In game map adverts can be placed onto static objects in the game
//        such as walls.
// *****************************************************************************

// 1 = turn on map adverts, 0 = turn off map adverts
mani_map_adverts 1

// Note about the following cvar. If you enable war mode with
// mani_map_adverts_in_war 0 then you must either change map or get the
// players to type 'retry' in their console for the existing adverts to disappear
// 1 = allow map adverts with war mode on
// 0 = disallow map adverts in war mode
mani_map_adverts_in_war 0

here is end of server27019.cfg:

mapadverts.txt is far too long to post here but is the file supplied by Whitey containing the coordinates of where the decals should appear and seems fine.

Hang on just noticed something. The decacllist.txt file is inconsistent.

"no_entry_ct"    "decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_ct.vmt"

against:

        "no_entry_ct.vmt"    "materials/decals/custom/mani_admin_plugin/no_entry_ct.vmt"

Note that the first line starts with "decals" and the second line starts "materials/decals"

Whitey can you check once home please that this is correct format? I would have thought they would both have had to start "materials/decals"

That's the same for me and it's working OK:g:

BB can you make sure there is no space in custom.  The stuff you've posted all has a space and it should be one word.

Directory of C:\Servers\cssource2\cstrike\materials\decals\cust  om\mani_admin_plugin

should be

Directory of C:\Servers\cssource2\cstrike\materials\decals\custom\mani_admin_plugin

Please contact me on MSN/Skype/X-Fire as I'm home now.

Once the server starts up and can see the decals it should create a .vtf.ztmp file for that decal.

There is no space in custom, it is the forum software being unable to cope with long strings.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Should come out as a row of w's but I bet there is a gap in it.
