[cod] server log (has to be a bug)

Fri Apr 28 14:17:13 EDT 2006

And this is the winner.... It is working like a charm.. Looked also what
this pb_sv_LogSync cvar does on punkbuster.com and here it is... 

PB_SV_LogSync [0/1]

When set to 1 (default is 0), PB will name Game log files in accordance with
PB log files using the same serial number system; Game log files will still
be stored in the same location inside the game directory either way, but
will have the same filename as the corresponding PB log file and both will
be closed at the end of each map and a new log file will be opened

Stupid we didn't see this... So if you are using the template files from
punksbusted.com change this cvar...

Yeah found this out also after the post and looking again in the logdir...

But I found this solution on fpsadmin and so far so good... Restarted the

map several times and still my good own logfile...;-)

So did i.

You're right, it can't change to config_mp_server.cfg but the value of 

that dvar can still change without writing it to a config file.
