Package to test gamechars (ETPub & Jaymod) for windows

(ailmanki) #1

A bundle of ETPub and Jaymod, for Windows and Linux users :slight_smile:

It needs a preinstalled ET,
For Linux:
http://78.46.44.197/downloads/MapperBundle_Jaymod-and-ETPub_linux.tar.gz
please read the readme_install.txt for installation, and other infos…

For Windows:
Has a installer, which creates the Shortcuts, and basically same without shortcuts in a zip file.
I tested and created it on Windwos 2008 server…

Installer (install it to your ET directory):
http://78.46.44.197/downloads/mapper_setup.exe

ZIP:
http://78.46.44.197/downloads/MapperBundle_Jaymod-and-ETPub.zip

#############################################################################################
The linux version has a cfg I add, to quikcly get all csdumps.
(exec csinfo, and you get a bunch of condumps… :slight_smile:
This is not yet in the windows bundle, if you want it; get the linux bundle and copy the csinfo.cfg;
I have to update the windows bundle - but I will do that another day… )

Jaymod has AFAIK only one command which is usefull,
!status
it shows various information, its worthy.

ETPub has more commands, but they are also less obvious.

ETPub allows for various commands

  • csinfo
  • csdump #
  • entitylist
  • configstrings

Some info about these commands:

[INDENT]csinfo
this command will print the size of each individual configstring and print the overall length of the GAMESTATE at the end.
csdump 0
This prints out the SERVERINFO string. If you have any worthless ‘sets’ cvars, they will show here. Also see the g_serverInfo cvar for limiting the length of this string.

csdump 1
This will print the SYSTEMINFO string. This config string is special since it can be 8192 chars long instead of 1024 like all the others. The reason for this is it holds checksums for all pk3 files your server is referencing. Having unneeded pk3 files here is the most likely cause of most MAX_GAMESTATE errors.[/INDENT]

The configurations supplied are only tested for local play, not even for someone connecting in a LAN or anything else.

Jaymod is configured so, that anybody which is on, has all commands.
So !help will show various stuff, although being offline and local… and having lvl 0.

All Fame and Credits goes to Jaymod and ETPub, I put it only together for convience…
Please do not contact them about this package for support, as they have nothing todo with it.

Yet if you want em to improve these cmds, contact them! :stroggtapir:

These work for me mostly. It would have been helpful to know these need to be installed in the etmain directory. The installer makes me think I can put them anywhere. All the commands seem to work except the configstrings for some reason. And sometimes the mod doesn’t load up automatically through the shortcut.

Interesting info. csinfo has a number around 3200. But !status in etpro tells me my gamestate is at 71%.

I’d like to pipe these out to a logfile to make it easier to post. But for some reason, the commands that I was using to do that in another config file are not working. I get an updated log file, but it doesn’t show the results of these commands. Any idea how I can get that?

Also, I could really use this in a non-executable linux version. Our server at work is linux and since we have a lot more maps loaded up over there, I need to run it over there as well to see how badly our map count is affecting my gamestate.

EDIT:: Nevermind about the log files. It is writing them out. Just in a different place.

I have made a linux bundle;
it has a an additional cfg, so one can quickly get all csdumps.
more info in the readme :slight_smile: …
I hope it works fine, its a bit bizarre compared to installing it on windows at first glance.
