Wheres public option in create on 2.4 nexuiz

[oskar669]

I tried doing it with the dedicated server.sh now... the way the good lord intended us to - apparently.

But it doesn't accept the name I choose in the server.cfg,.. it pretty much seems to be the same thing, just running as an independent program.

Anyway... we'll just go back to 2.3
It just isn't worth the hassle. 2.4 users can still enter, so no worries.

Specifying the mode right at g_maplist is indeed no longer supported. It was a really ugly hack that could lead to corrupt servers, was hardly used, made it harder for map authors to put up their map and as far as i know Nexuiz was the only game around to offer that feature.

Morfar was half right with his stuff.. you now specify the gamemode you wanna play before you start the map but not in the way he said.. better use 'gametype ctf' for example to switch to ctf.

Wow you can use irony.. i put up Nexuiz/Docs/server to help setup a dedicated server and thought every line in server.cfg was clearly commented but obviously its not and you found a better way for your self. Have fun with it and do not complain when someone finds a security hole in the old server and hacks yours.. (just one of the reasons to use uptodate servers..)

[oskar669]

Well... I does look pretty straight foreward...

Code: Select all

hostname "LMS, KH(keyhunt), no bots, hook" // this name will appear on the server list

The hostname is still "Oskar 669's Nexuiz Server"

Code: Select all

g_keyhunt 1     // key hunt

The gamemode is Deathmach

Code: Select all

g_grappling_hook 1 // set to 1 to enable the hook

This is the only one that worked.

Many people get this right... so the problem might be on my side... But all I'm trying to do is to play a game of Keyhunt once or twice a week, so this is already overkill.

Anyway... If I'm the only one complaining... alright. I'm just hoping we'll get those features back with the next release.

Don't get me wrong... I know you're doing this for no profit, and you've created one of the best balanced FPS's, and pretty much the only game I've been playing for the last year.
But if 2.3 just works, and 2.4 does not, we'll stick with 2.3.

For a LAN game, this is really not so great anyway. If we're playing LMS, and we want to play a game of CTF, we have to restart the server, and everybody has to log out and in again?
Most of my friends prefer Q3 anyway, so this doesn't make the convincing easier.

well i tried with this server.cfg (i used the one that will end up in 2.4.1 so it looks a bit different then the one in 2.4 right now..) and it just worked.. played lms with the grapplinghook with the right name..

I also was able to see my server in the serverlist although its sv_public 0 like you would wanna like for lans.. I just wonder, it had a REALLY high ping display but playing was fine. I wonder whats up with the display..

And no people do not need to disconnect and you do not need to restart the server.. just type
gametype ctf in the server console before the new map loads and the next one will be played in ctf mode..
or gameype tdm
If you do not want to switch to the server console just setup rcon. Ala set rcon_password in server.cfg and also do the same in your client.. then when you connected to the server (or if not set rcon_address ip:port ... if you run the ded.server on your machine with default ports its just: rcon_address 127.0.0.1) and issue commands to the server with rcon command like rcon gametype lms or rcon map toxic..

server.cfg:

I had the ping thing too... It said 9999 or something... once the first player joined it went down to 40.

I'll try your config file... but apparently I moved some vital files while shuffling around the pk3's
I'll just get the latest build then.

[oskar669]

It works after I applied the hotfix.

Now the name is set to the one I have in the server.conf, and I can change the game mode. It doesn't seem to accept kh though.

However, it ignores the map list I put together (just loads the default maps) and people keep coming in even though public is set to 0. (I've only changed the map list and password from the server.cfg you posted.)

[esteel]

Strange, kh should work..
if (t == "dm") return MAPINFO_TYPE_DEATHMATCH;
else if(t == "tdm") return MAPINFO_TYPE_TEAM_DEATHMATCH;
else if(t == "dom") return MAPINFO_TYPE_DOMINATION;
else if(t == "ctf") return MAPINFO_TYPE_CTF;
else if(t == "rune") return MAPINFO_TYPE_RUNEMATCH;
else if(t == "lms") return MAPINFO_TYPE_LMS;
else if(t == "arena") return MAPINFO_TYPE_ARENA;
else if(t == "kh") return MAPINFO_TYPE_KEYHUNT;
else if(t == "as") return MAPINFO_TYPE_ASSAULT;
else if(t == "ons") return MAPINFO_TYPE_ONSLAUGHT;


However i have no idea why you had to install the hotfix.. the server setup stuff was not changed, just the config file was reordered by me to be more logical and more readable.

Is your g_maplist correct? its just the mapname now.. Like in the example:
g_maplist "aggressor aneurysm basement basementctf bleach bloodprison bloodprisonctf bluesky darkzone dieselpower dismal downer evilspace farewell final_rage reslimed ruiner runningman_1on1remix runningman runningmanctf silvercity skyway slimepit soylent starship stormkeep strength toxic warfare"

If you type g_maplist in the server console it will show you the value its currently set to.. maybe something is wrong with it

[oskar669]

I didn't find a build of 2.4.1 and I don't really feel like compiling... so I tried the hotfix

If I type g_maplist in the console while logged in, it shows me the default maplist, not the one that I have in the config file but the server always starts with 7mm towers - which isn't in either list.

Code: Select all

g_maplist "bluesky darkzone evilspace minimanq3 qdolphin"

Other players can log in, but they see a black map (even if they have the map that is loaded)

When I do "chmap ..." Nexuiz crashes on their side.
They can also do "chmap" and it will change on their side, but nothing happens on my side.

Of course this might be a problem with the hotfix...

- I have the pk3's linked between the 2.3 and 2.4 folder with "ln -n" (I'm on linux)
I can't imagine this causing a problem, but I thought I'd mention it.
