linux dedicated server problem

Snecx · Post by **Snecx** » Tue Sep 21, 2004 12:52 am

Hello

I like to host a chaos Ut 2004 dedicated server linux based.
i downloaded the .zip version and unpacked to root folder of ut2004
in my case /ut2004_dedicated.
now i have a new folder ChaosUT2 and in the System folder
i have ChaosGames.det ChaosGames.int ChaosUT.det ChaosUT.int ChaosUT2.ucl.
as mentioned in the docs i added
ServerPackages=ChaosGames
ServerPackages=ChaosUT
to the [Engine.GameEngine] section
but everytime i try to start the server it crashes..

what went wrong? is the installation process different in dedicated server mode with linux?
server version linux = 3323
UT Chaos Version = 3.5

plz help...

Hmmm not a linux guy here..so anyone have ideas?

Also what command line did you use to start it?

Sorry for the trouble.

Did you add the pathing lines as well? (also mentioned in the docs.. or should be)

Anyways, the problem right now is that it cannot find the chaos files that it is trying to load (hence the error). ChaosGames.u is in your ChaosUT2\System folder, for instance, and it cannot find that. Im not 100% sure with linux, but i think two things can cause this: a) not adding the pathing lines and/or b) not allowing UT2004 access to the new folders we placed.

Anyways, the pathing lines to add are as follows:
[Core.System]
Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Animations/*.ukx

Think these were mentioned in another part of the docs (installation maybe?) for those who didnt install using a umod. The same goes for people who are manually setting up their ini files.

No thats our fault. About 5 files were accidently left out of the full version. These files will make 2 or 3 of the maps not load up. I have them identified and will upload a small zip of them tonight. Sorry for the trouble. We had to rush to meet a contest deadline and did not have nearly as much time to check our final builds as we would have liked to

i ran some tests and the server is now starting and i can play but i get one error.
this is my command line:
./ucc-bin server "DM-Rankin.ut2?game=XGame.xDeathMatch?mutator=ChaosGames.ChaosUT,utcompv14beta3.MutUTComp -MOD=Chao
sUT2 ini=ChaosUT2.ini -nohomedir log=ChaosMut.log

part of the log:
ScriptLog: Mutators ChaosGames.ChaosUT,utcompv14beta3.MutUTComp
...
WebAdmin: Unknown Mutator in use: ChaosGames.ChaosUT
..

in webadmin i can´t see the ChaosUT tab

i started a dedicated server from my windows installation and i have the ChaosUT tab..

ummm try removing utcomp from the server packages. in your INI file.

also try this

./ucc-bin server DM-Rankin.ut2?game=ChaosGames.ChaosxDeathMatch?mutator=ChaosGames.ChaosUT -MOD=ChaosUT2 ini=ChaosUT2.ini -nohomedir log=ChaosMut.log

Snecx · Post by **Snecx** » Tue Sep 21, 2004 4:55 pm

did it both..
still the same error.
maybe i should do a clean install of the dedicated server and try again.
i have have some server packages in use maybe its one of them.
or any other ideas?

Snecx · Post by **Snecx** » Wed Sep 22, 2004 7:06 pm

got it to work.

after a clean install in a new folder all went fine.

maybe i missed the news. did someone upload the 5 missing files?

/me checks to see who I asked to upload these files

/me sees that me was assigned to do that task

/me blushes then blames Pepito anyways for good measure

Sorry will get that up tonight. My fault

jb · Post by jb » Thu Sep 23, 2004 2:18 pm

Ok I upload the missing files as one approx 3.5 mb zip. If anyone has the PR3.5 full and has these errors that prevents Arena, Colosseum and Oilrig from loading let me know. As soon as I get some one else to make sure we got the right files we can post it...

Sorry about that

You mean there wasn't a single beta tester or team member available to test these for you?

Wow. That's not good.

I helped as much as I could!

Code: Select all

9:44 PM:         Jb: any testers here
9:44 PM:         Jb: with a clean ut2k4 install?
9:47 PM:    halprin: not me...
9:48 PM:    halprin: why?
9:48 PM:         Jb: there were a few files left out of the full
9:48 PM:         Jb: that caused 3 or 4 maps not to load
9:48 PM:         Jb: I have a patch to correct for that
9:48 PM:         Jb: but want some one to try it
9:49 PM:    halprin: oh
9:49 PM:    halprin: yeah, ummm
9:49 PM:    halprin: I can start up a server and the errors show up there
9:49 PM:    halprin: a dedi
9:51 PM:         Jb: ok i got these files added
9:51 PM:    halprin: ok
9:51 PM:    halprin: the..
9:51 PM:    halprin: do you need to know them?
9:51 PM:         Jb: in static mesh
9:51 PM:         Jb: duelcolosseum
9:51 PM:    halprin: whoa wait
9:51 PM:         Jb: liandri2003
9:52 PM:    halprin: I can list them to you the ones that you need to add
9:52 PM:    halprin: ONSTrike
9:52 PM:    halprin: wait...
9:52 PM:         Jb: I counted 3 statits
9:52 PM:         Jb: 2 textures
9:52 PM:         Jb: and one map
9:52 PM:    halprin: where?
9:53 PM:    halprin: where do you count them?
9:53 PM:         Jb: I remember from when I added back to cvs
9:53 PM:         Jb: as well as this thread
9:53 PM:    halprin: oh, ok
9:53 PM:         Jb: http://forums.chaoticdreams.org/viewtopic.php?t=4267
9:53 PM:         Jb: these are the ones that stop it from loading:
9:53 PM:         Jb: 'DuelColosseum' 
9:54 PM:         Jb: ChaosCity
9:54 PM:         Jb: 'ChaosFX_1'
9:54 PM:         Jb: Vergeofextinction
9:54 PM:         Jb: then needed Liandri2003.usx
9:54 PM:    halprin: I only think you need the first 4
9:54 PM:    halprin: no landri stuff
10:03 PM:         Jb: I think that you need it
10:03 PM:         Jb: but not right away

I helped. I am not sure when Jb needed people again to test the extra files but as you can see that this was 9:45 PM to 10:00 PM. From the post, it looks like the the thing was uploaded on the 23rd, today, at 8:18 AM, which I was still in school. So don't worry, the entire mod team has not gone to the dogs b/c you left! Well... hmmm... dogs...
