Custom Server Music

[FruitieX]

I don't notice that much difference either, even with my crappy connection and location (256kb up/dn, Finland, middle of nowhere :>) while listening to a 24kb/s AAC stream. Sure my ping goes from like 60 to 80 but it's still pretty playable. I'd never listen to music while playing a 1on1 match though, only DM and CTF . (No need to know where the enemy is by hearing, they are everywhere around you!) ^^.

I can't seem to get that format working, div. Can I get a little pointer?

Here's the layout

Code: Select all

ls -R
.:
GulchMusic-1.0.txt  maps  sound

./maps:
brokenworld_r2.cfg    evilspacectf.cfg  map-ctf_facing_worlds_nex2.cfg  succer_socks_r3.cfg
capturecity-v2r1.cfg  map-cbctf1.cfg    mentalrespaced.cfg              vitamea-v2.cfg

./sound:
cdtracks

./sound/cdtracks:
07-warm.ogg  bi-wedding.ogg  ck-nugget.ogg  dm-world.ogg  elyuc.ogg  jq-digital.ogg  jr-kansas.ogg  ts-howsoon.ogg


I have all that zipped up into GulchMusic-1.0.pk3 and:

sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0
(have tried .txt and .pk3 as well for curl url)

What's going on and what am I missing...

Thanks

[John Galt]

To clarify, the server never even triggers a download of the pk3. If I load a map that I've added a .cfg file for, it still tries to load its default ogg. Such as 'cd loop "8"' instead of whatever custom ogg i have listed.

If I download the pk3 manually and put it in .nexuiz/data/, I'm able to specify via console 'cd loop myogg' and it works.

sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0.txt has to work. Note that changing this cvar needs a map reload to become active.

[John Galt]

Well, it's not

I've done fs_rescan, restarted the server, nothing seems to make it download the pk3.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by a 'map reload'. I assume restarting the server would accomplish the same?

[KadaverJack]

did you really use "sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0.txt" as divVerent suggested? (note: sv_curl_serverpackages lists files the clients needs to play, not pk3 names!)

[John Galt]

Kadaver, yes, I have tried three variations -

sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0.txt
sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0.pk3
sv_curl_serverpackages GulchMusic-1.0

I now know the .pk3 and blank extensions wouldn't have worked anyway - but what else could I be missing? I also have sv_curl_defaulturl set to the correct location as well.

the client side shows no errors, no 404 or failed curl download.

This is going to be a face-palm, I'm sure.

What should the contents of the .txt file be?

[KadaverJack]

What should the contents of the .txt file be?

Doesn't matter, it just needs to be there, but credits & a copyright notice would be a good idea.

Last idea what your problem might be: is the pk3 in your server's data/ dir?

[John Galt]

Yes it is.

[John Galt]

I changed the name of the package per pavlvs' instructions on IRC. Starting up the server, I definitely see it adding the packfile:

Code: Select all

Added packfile data/zzgulchmusic-1.0.pk3 (18 files)


I have tried these sv_curl_serverpackages lines:

Code: Select all

//sv_curl_serverpackages zzgulchmusic-1.0.txt
sv_curl_serverpackages zzgulchmusic-1.0


And the new layout of the actual package:

Code: Select all

ls -R
.:
maps  sound  zzgulchmusic-1.0.txt

./maps:
basement.cfg        capturecity_v2r1.cfg  evil(space)ctf.cfg      mentalrespaced.cfg   vitamea-v2.cfg
brokenworld_r2.cfg  cbctf1.cfg            facing_worlds_nex2.cfg  succer_socks_r3.cfg

./sound:
cdtracks

./sound/cdtracks:
07-warm.ogg  bi-wedding.ogg  ck-nugget.ogg  dm-world.ogg  elyuc.ogg  jq-digital.ogg  jr-kansas.ogg  ts-howsoon.ogg


I'm racking my brain trying to figure what's wrong...

pk3 in /data on server - check
pk3 available on webserver for curl - check
server adds packfile on start - check
sv_curl_serverpackages set correctly - check
sv_curl_defaulturl set correctly - check

I nkow this is going to be something dumb. arrgghh

Any other ideas?
