HELP!

[tnarocks]

Hello, I am a very close friend of TNARocks, he has lost his abilities to connect to the internet, and at a very inconvenient time. The update happened, and messed everything all up. He enlisted my help, because I am a trusted friend, and have built and run his website. However, as I am digging around trying to fix the server, I am realizing more and more, that I have no idea what I am doing.

Our server is on gameservers. I am trying to get the server back. In attempts to do so last night, everything hit the fan. When the server finally came back, it was just bare. No gungame, no anything. What I am trying to do now is reinstall and get GG working again. I have followed the directions given to me here, but I still can't seem to get my server to load gg, the maps, anything. As if anything I do to the FTP, the server, anything just isn't taking. I have no idea what I am doing, and I have no one to help me.

Is there anyone who may be able to give me some advice here? I know everyone is wrapped up with their own servers right now, trying to hammer out all the little bugs, I just wish I was at that point . Thanks for listening.

Just so there is no confusion, I did post under his name here, but this is me here, I took the time to register here on the site so you all could know who I was. Thanks again

First, you'll need to make sure you are using this version of EventScripts:

Then, you can download the newest GG5.1 here:

Note that it is still a work in progress, as they are trying to find/remove all bugs/crashes.

I have done both of those things, and nothing changed in the server. I understand it is still a work in progress, I just know that people have it working somewhat at least, and I can't even get that

[Drakk]

I loaded Eventscripts.

I loaded the files for GG5

I had to create "autoexec.cfg" because one did not exist

I attempted to load rcon commands "rcon es_load gungame51" and "rcon es_reload gungame51" to load, but comes back "es_load" and "es_reload" unknown commands.

Thats where the red flag popped up.

[satoon101]

If those are unknown commands, you do not have EventScripts installed correctly. Are you 100% sure you have that particular version of ES installed?

Satoon

[Drakk]

I'll reinstall it, from a fresh download of the es, and ill try it

[Drakk]

Reinstalled the Eventscripts, still unknown command.

[satoon101]

Is it a Linux server or Windows?

Type in rcon plugin_print to see if SPE is installed.

It's a linux server, which may or may not be the root cause so far, but after reinstalling ES again, and restarting, I watched the console load, and this is what I noticed. Is there something I am doing wrong here?

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(240)/version(4248)
Unable to load plugin "addons/sp_extensions_ep2"
KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons/metamod.vdf
(*Plugin*),
Unable to load plugin "addons/mattie_eventscripts"
KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file addons/mani_admin_plugin.vdf
(*Plugin*),

sp_extensions is important?
unable to load ES
KeyValue errors? ack!

What am I missing?

[Drakk]

Ok, fixed the Keyvalue errors, so metamod and mani-admin mods are loading properly now. However I am still getting the unable to load for ES and sp_extensions

[Drakk]

So thats what I have narrowed it all down to, it is unable to load SP extensions, and Eventscripts. Both are installed correctly, with the correct versions of such. I know I am missing something but I just can't figure it out

[satoon101]

Yes, SPE is important. GunGame will not load without it installed properly on your server. So, it just says "Unable to load plugin" for both of them now? I've noticed a few people running Linux have had to change their SPE vdf file to something more like:

Expand/Contract | Select All

"Plugin"
{
    "file"    "addons/sp_extensions_ep2_i486"
}

Not 100% sure, as I don't run Linux. If that works for SPE, try changing the vdf for ES to match the exact filename of the .so file.

Satoon

[Drakk]

I saw that too, and followed suit with both, however they both came to the same conclusion of unable to load.

Unable to load plugin "addons/sp_extensions_ep2_i486.so"
Unable to load plugin "addons/mattie_eventscripts.so"

[satoon101]

Wait, did you put .so in the vdf? If so, leave that out, and try again. That obviously changes nothing for ES, but might help get SPE loaded.

Satoon

[Drakk]

Ok, so the "unable to load addons/sp_extensions_ep2_i486" is gone. However Eventscripts is still popping the unable to load. I completely deleted both ES and SPE and reinstalled both. I think that fixed the SPE problem, but it did not fix the ES problem. God I wish this would just work!

[Drakk]

I did notice that when I look at my old files, the ES file is followed by the _i486 but the EX version for linux I downloaded with the new updates, did not. Is there a possibility there was a mistake made by Mattie and he has a windows version in both the linux and windows downloads?

[Drakk]

Scratch that, installed SPE wrong the second time around, fixed the install and poof its back on the list of things that are unable to load
