Hi,

I've manually set up a dedicated sof2 server on a linux box, and im havnig a few problems.. and was wondering if anyone could help.

When I run sof2ded - this is what i get:

Code Sample

root@atlantis [/usr/local/games/sof2]# ./sof2ded +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg SOF2MP V1.02a linux-i386 Sep 24 2002 Initialising zone memory ..... ----- FS_Startup ----- Current search path: /root/.sof2/base /usr/local/games/sof2/base/MP /usr/local/games/sof2/base/update102.pk3 (213 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/therest.pk3 (7125 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/textures1234.pk3 (10843 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/textures0.pk3 (2816 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/skins.pk3 (4117 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/musicandsound.pk3 (3055 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/mp.pk3 (338 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/models.pk3 (3643 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base/maps.pk3 (466 files) /usr/local/games/sof2/base ./sof2ded/base/MP ./sof2ded/base ---------------------- 32616 files in pk3 files execing sof2mp_default.cfg execing sof2mp.cfg execing autoexec.cfg Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok --- Common Initialization Complete --- Opening IP socket: localhost:20100 Hostname: xxxxx.xxxxx.xxx.xx Alias: atlantis IP: xxx.xx.xxx.xx Working directory: /usr/local/games/sof2 ^3PunkBuster Server: PunkBuster Server (v0.993 | A0 C0.0) **DISABLED** execing server.cfg usage: seta <variable> <value> usage: seta <variable> <value> ^1ERROR: map cycle file 'ctf.mapcycle' not found Can't find map maps/nomap.bsp

Now.. of course.. ctf.mapcycle DOES exist in the sof2/base directory.. and to be sure, i copied it into the /sof2 directory as well.

I have double checked the server.cfg file and cant see any problems there.

---------------

BTW - this setup was based on a guide from this forum. (cant remember the url)

Ok. Fixed it.

I just copied my ctf.mapcycle file into the sof2/base/MP folder..


Now.. to try and find my server in the list.......

ok.
I cant find it in the server list..

i added it to my favourites manually..

and it only shows the IP:PORT for the server name, the Map Name, # Players [ 0 (24) ] Type: ---  Ping: ...

when i try to connect o it.. it just sits there.. awaiting Gamestate..


Anyone is welcome to try..

207.58.140.90:20100

Ok. UPDATE.

by starting it with this:

Code Sample

./sof2ded +set dedicated 2 +map mp_jor1

I got it as far as saying this:

Code Sample

----------------- Gametype Initialization ----------------- ----------------------------------- Hitch warning: 5735 msec frame time Resolving master.sof2.ravensoft.com master.sof2.ravensoft.com resolved to 63.146.124.45:20110 Sending heartbeat to master.sof2.ravensoft.com Resolving master.sof2.ravensoft.com master.sof2.ravensoft.com resolved to 63.146.124.124.45:20112 Sending heartbeat to master.sof2.ravensoft.com

And thats as far as it goes..

Fist a few quick questions..

You are not running this as root right?

If you look in the home dir of the user account used to run the server you will find a .sof2 dir. If you look in the initial fs pat of the server output that is where it first looks for the cfg's. You can place your cfg's in that dir for faster load times.

Does the server have more then 1 NIC in it?
