Can't Create server

Greenmarine · 03-10-2008, 12:45 AM

Everytime I try to create a server to practice concing I'll start the map , the map loads, the menu comes up fine and I'll pick a team. (this is were the problem happens) As soon as I pick a team color the map gets a little screwy and no class menu shows. So there is no way for me to practice concing or anything for that matter without joing an actual server.

Everything worked fine in 1.0 seemed to start in 1.1 and carried over to 2.0.

DFI Lanparty 790fx
AMD 6400+X2
4 gigs corsair extreme DDR2800
Nvidia 7800gt
WindowsXP 32bit home

Any help is much appreciated

You don't have the .lua for the map your trying to play. This is probably because the mapper didn't make a .res for their map so even though you have played it, you aren't downloading the .lua from the server.

Let me know which maps your talking about and I can get you a .zip of all the .lua's you need to be able to play these in a listen server.

Thank you, I'll get the map names.

.lua should really be downloaded with the maps.

I totally agree, but a lot of mappers tend to not add a .res with their maps. It's a shame really...especially when your trying to find their map and get it up on a server and they haven't been around for a long time. 9 / 10 times the download they have listed is broken and trying to find someone with a mirror or the .lua is a bitch!

what if i only want you playing my map on my server??

that tends to be the main reason when it comes to the conc maps out there. there are a few ppl who do this, and frankly, their maps arent good enough for me to give a damn about anyway.

yep...I think it's dumb TBH but I know that's their prerogative, but like I said...later on down the road when people want to host it generally you will find the maps have been completely lost.

Greenmarine · 03-10-2008, 11:35 PM

you're correct I don't have the .lua seems like I have the .lua files for the rest of the maps but not the concmaps.

The concmaps are concmap5 , concmap_cave , conc_adam and conc_foamy_r that's all I have been able to download from other servers so far.
Most of the servers I try to join that have a new(or I haven't heard of) map for some reason don't have the server configured correctly to let the clients download the map.

Thanks again

Well see now that's very strange b/c all of those maps DO have a .res that is / should be allowing you to dl the .lua wierd! Anhoo here is a zip for you:

lua's

Yeah...the UGC server is having problems with that right now! I think I have fixed it, but unless someone can jump on and try to dl a map from that server I can't test it til I get home from work. I have narrowed the problem down to my server.cfg though so that's good news!

Greenmarine · 03-12-2008, 10:22 PM

Thank you Sir: works perfectly now

Much appreciated !

Dr.Satan · 03-12-2008, 11:36 PM

great news!

Also for the time being I have found a work around for the UGC server...so if you want to play any map...do this:

say:nominate <mapname>

say:rtv

w/out the <>'s and it *should* work so that the rtv maplist has the nominated map you wanted to play.

I am really getting tired of seeing that shit.

yeah...I was going to let the 1 / 2 slide, but then I saw like 20 and it just started pissing me off. was going to take them out but I think geokill beat me to it!

Nuk3m · 03-15-2008, 07:45 PM

Is there a way to incorporate the lua into the bsp, as a default setup?

Circuitous · 03-15-2008, 09:50 PM

If it's in the .res file it SHOULD be downloaded alongside the BSP. I can't imagine why it's not.

Yeah...I'm not sure why it doesn't download with the .res either. All of the maps he needed had .res files, but for some reason he didn't get them. This could be one of two things I'm thinking:

something is messed up with the .res and for some reason it's not downloading
something is different when using a fast download like it's not reading the .res file and therefor isn't allowing people to get the correct file for some reason.

Unless I'm mistaken the .res is used to link any custom textures,sounds, ect and also the lua but tha mapper has to tell it to DL the lua. Some mappers want there map only on certain servers for how ever long then they forget to update the .res to allow people to DL the .lua file.

So it is but it isn't server/fast DL side issue it's actually the mapper for not telling it to do so in the .res.
