Map graphics not displaying

[mrdek11]

I just changed the rcon_password to a temporary one "temp", I'd love it if somebody could test it! Thanks!
Also, I run my own webserver, so I know its not being filtered. Apache2's access.log shows no connections from Nexuiz.


[edit] I just double checked, and the client is getting the defaulturl wrong.
it says:

Code: Select all

"http://www.nexuiz.com/contentdownload/getmap.php?file="

for the current setting and the default setting.

[esteel]

There is NO setting on the client that reflects the server setting. The server just combines the pk3 name and sv_curl_defaulturl (OR the url from curl_urls.txt) and sends it to the client on connect so the client can download it. No setting on the client is changed..

I just tried connecting to your server.. did not get a download either. Not sure yet why, but for example you have strange settings like g_antilag 1 (the 2.5 default is 2 which works a bit better.. i wonder why other funny settings you have active )

[mrdek11]

Lol oops. I was following the server setup guide in these forums. They must be outdated, as they told me to set it to 2 if I wanted it enabled.

Here's my server.cfg, hopefully I just made a simple mistake in there...
Thanks again for your help!

If you mean this thread: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=18 it clearly states its outdated in big red letters.. Basicly i don't find time to update it.. and Nexuiz/Server/readme.txt and the other files should almost have more info by now then that thread. I started it when all those files have not yet been added to Nexuiz..
The server.cfg file looks ok.. Have you just added those files to the data directory? Have you maybe unzipped them?


OH are you running on linux or mac? You need to have libcurl installed to make the download work. Look up your server.log file and take a look at the beginning.. it should print several lines about it loading libraries.. does it find and load libcurl??

Looks like this for me:

Code: Select all

Nexuiz Linux 20:46:36 Apr 22 2009 8937 debug
Trying to load library... "libz.so.1" - loaded.
Added packfile data/common-spog.pk3 (26 files)
Added packfile data/zzz_svn-compat-dummy.pk3 (2001 files)
Trying to load library... "libcurl.so.4" - loaded.

[mrdek11]

Haha, yes that's the thread I used, and I can't believe that I somehow didn't notice the massive red warning... wow, I'm an idiot.
It took me forever to figure out how to make the maps work. What I finally did, was I unzipped all of the maps into the data directory, and that seemed to work. (PS I tried manually installing the capturecity map on my client, and it works fine)
And for the downloads, I just have the pk3 files in the directory I'm using for the downloadurl.
I'm running the server on an Ubuntu Linux 8.10 server, and I'm running my client is Mac OS X.

I can't find server.log, I would've expected it to be in the root server directory, but it's not there. I'll try creating one with 777 permissions and restarting my server to see if its just having trouble writing.

[edit]That didn't help, it didn't write to the new file. Where should I be looking for server.log?[/edit]

[mrdek11]

Aha, I wasn't able to find server.log, but just manually saved the output of the server to a file.

Code: Select all

Trying to load library... "libcurl.so.4" "libcurl.so.3" "libcurl.so" "./libcurl.so.4" "./libcurl.so.3" "./libcurl.so" - failed.

Looks like it's not loading libcurl.

Alright, manually installed libcurl, and now:

Code: Select all

Trying to load library... "libcurl.so.4" "libcurl.so.3" "libcurl.so" - loaded.

Still doesn't seem to allow clients to download the maps though...

[divVerent]

Actually, only clients really NEED the library.

All files written by Nexuiz are to be found in ~/.nexuiz/data as programs usually do not have permissions to write to the path were the program itself is installed and also because its simply the unix way of doing stuff.

DO NOT extract the pk3 files.. The server needs those files to know the name of the pk3 file to be able to combine the curl url and the name to tell the client what file to download! Try to delete those 'extracted' files again..

It should be enough to download the pk3 into either the Nexuiz/data directory or into ~/.nexuiz/data and then (re)start the server..

Actually, only clients really NEED the library.

Oh, i was not sure.. well in that case the extracting of the pk3 files if at fault

[mrdek11]

Weird, I had read that they needed to be extracted server-side.

capturecity-v2r2.pk3 is in Nexuiz/data/

Code: Select all

changelevel capturecity-v2r2
SpawnServer: no map file named maps/capturecity-v2r2.bsp

[edit] I don't know what changed, but after restarting it twice, it now works. Downloads and all.

Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it!

[esteel]

Its capturecity_v2r2

a _ not a minus sign..
