NEW [FGS] ZERO AUG SERVER IS UP and not running...

[ShadowRunner]

I reckon this topic might get some hits lol with this title.

Good news: You get a server log u can download with GD
Bad news: Server is not showing in the list.

I looked at the server log (not the one attached), I could see immediately that the server was searching for a masterserver which didn't exist. I removed the masterserver line for the non-existent masterserver and restarted the server. Still not showing.
I opened the ini and I could see that it appeared to be a default ini which had been half finished in the configuration, it was purgecachedays=30, augs 2 per kill, the admin password was a really dangerous one letter password, and some things I fixed up, but which would not affect the problem of server not showing in the list.
I then looked at the command line. I am only experienced with Icho/Alex/Noodz fixing altfire command lines, I have those only. I can't really say if this command line is correct or not:

DXMP_Smuggler?-server?log=server.log - but I did think to myself, hmm shouldn't that say DXMP_Area51Bunker? usually, but I'm guessing it doesn't matter as long as the map is in the folder. I wasn't sure if it should be map [0] or map [1] so I made smuggler repeat on both in the maplist and added A51 at the end.

Server still not showing. Epic Fail on my part.

So I'm attaching the server's ini and most recent log after restarting.
I can not see any problem at all by looking at the server log, the server appears to be running.
But the ini does look a bit funny. I was wondering how the hell tnag got there (removed the reference) and why it was kinda half configured, but not completely.

The other thing that occured to me is that something is not in the system folder or map folder that should be, but then that would say so in the log wouldn't it.

And Fear/Jima/Whiplash, my advice is have a massive maplist of zero aug maps from the beginning to most recent and put mapvote on, rather than a selection of zero aug, in the long run its less work rotating the maplist all the time, and u can just upload stuff the server and never need to remove it etc. Also maybe you might want to think about having message mod and DJ's mod or teamswitcher mod.

I... see no problems on the logs, nor on the DeusEx.ini.

But this:

Code: Select all

UseSound=True
GameRenderDevice=None
AudioDevice=Class'Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem'
Console=Class'Engine.Console'
NetworkDevice=Class'IpDrv.TcpNetDriver'
Language=None

It's listed over [DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine] (where you put ServerActors and ServerPackages)
AFAIK, There's nothing there like that.. This all stuff goes to [Engine.Engine] part, where it already exists.

UseSound is used there, though, and it's written two times.

I guess you should remove it from there and replace it on Engine.Engine, and make a backup first. But I doubt it'd fix anything...

I think you are on the right path, the sections of that ini don't seem right to me.

[ShadowRunner]

ok here the mutator ini, masterserver ini, manifest ini, dxmtl ini, the only other ini was the graphics. Attached...

Ah I notice an ini called Detected.ini

It's completely blank,

OK, just tried a manual connect on the IP listed in server.log, and it didn't work.

Perhaps you've got a port forwarding issue?

..well it isn't hosted it from home, so.. probably contacting the hoster would be a better idea. What does Jima/others host from? GamingDeluxe? Well whatever it is, I guess asking them for a solution would be a better idea.

w00der at GD is a friend of a friend, he's also mates with Stephen Myhill I think, even so I know they are extremely busy flat-out, I presume that Fear/Jima contacted him.

The problem with w00der is that he is not a Deus Ex player at all, he hasn't got the first clue, he just sets up a default server, it seems the ini is not like the one I had in 2008 either.

If we cant fix it, maybe we need to start all over with a new ini?

[~DJ~]

INI and Logs don't show any errors. Ah well, since we've got a backup now. I suppose you could restore the INI and all to default. Then add the mods later etc.

[ShadowRunner]

Hmm, I'd best get the back-up ini off Jima that actually came with the server I suppose?

[~DJ~]

..Iuno. As long as u has backup!

[~][FGS][Nobody~]

That's my suggestion too.. get the ini of the 0aug server and paste it to the new server.
Missing files will be added further.

When did you get this server up first? If you got it very recently then sometimes it does not come up when it says that it is, only noticed that with GD though.

If you can't connect to the server via its IP when its got default settings (like if you just re-installed it) then its a problem with GD.

[~DJ~]

AFAIK, It's hosted for ages. It went down unexpectedly.. and since then it's been down.. atleast, not down, just not listing.

BECAUSE OF ME.

There were 3 issues.

1. GD had put a firewall in place
2. GD had put command line in the wrong place
3. Old ini was searching for dead masterserver
