Hi, I’m Sphinx. I help out this llama to test his mod on my server.

I want to apoogize up front ifyou have connection or download problems of the mod. For some reason, my server (Win32 based) does not want to play nice when it does the file download redirect so a user can download the files. I’ve tested it and it works fine all the time but then my ping is rather low to the system so i don’t know what’s up.

It’s not the mod that’s causing this issue I think it’s my server. I don’t understand why since RtCW runs so stably on my box and I really doubt the developers will be offering up any more patches to this game.

But, Demo’s a good guy so I’m trying to help him.

Any rate, download from the link he’s provided and connect up to my server and give it a whirl. I’m running some standard campaign maps and some RtCW throwbacks like ice, village, and base.

The Win32 ET server has a nasty, nasty bug that’ll make it crash if a redirected download fails.

Do you know how to correct this or am I S.O.L. on this one?

(Rain) #5

You can’t really fix it per se. I think using disconnected downloads may help, but I don’t remember for certain.
etpro works around the crash by patching the ET binary in-memory, but this is a ridiculously ugly approach. :expressionless:

(sphinx175) #6

in-memory? holy crap that’s freaky.

We fix 3 different bugs that way. :frowning:

[ul][li]Win32 download crash
[/li][li]Missing disconnect reasons
[/li][*]Truncated CS_SYSTEMINFO[/ul]

Would it be possible to share that work around with Demoman so he can put it in his mod as well? Since it’s a new mod a lot of people will try to download from the server itself rather than go hunting for a download link

(Rain) #9

It’s not a terribly trivial process, but yes, I’ll share the workaround if he’s interested in trying to implement it.

hey guys I found out why server has been crashing… if you are gonna run this… dont turn on d_shove… shove is causing the random crashes … I will either remove it for the next update this weekend or try and fix it

for the next update I removed the entire et weapon drop/pick up system and reworked in the RTCW style of dropweapon into it
and fixed some other bugs caused by me and etmain

If you can’t fix it I could PM you my shove code, I’ve yet to see a crash while using it :slight_smile:
