Edward Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hello, When my SoF2 server starts it crashes right away. I have been working a lot lately so maybe I am missing something here. This is what I did: -Installed game and patched to Gold Edition on my PC -Zipped the files and uploaded to server (windows 2003) -Made a server.cfg -Made a mapcycle.mapcycle -Made shortcut with correct Target lines (for testing first , later with TCadmin) With the same server.cfg and .mapcycle the dedicated server runs at my home PC(XP). I begin to wonder if the sof2 dedicated server is windows 2003 compatible.... I hope someone can tell me what I am missing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24play1 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 its definately compatible as I have ran it on 2003 Any chance of a look at the file structuer so I can see what you have in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECF Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Try adding +map <mapname> to your commandline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 No, no difference... The server loads (takes 5seconds) then stops loading and after 2 seconds the server terminates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 What are you using for a commandline? SOF Is pretty straight forward. Sounds like you are missing some files or maybe they are corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 +set net_noipx 1 +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 20100 +set sv_pure 0 +set com_hunkmegs 32 +set net_ip 85.17.3.226 +exec server.cfg I also guess some files are corrupt. The thing is it takes me 10 hours to upload all again to the server. Does anyone know which files are needed for the dedicated server? Or can someone provide me a download from server to server?

Edward Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 No... same issue with the 2 new uploads. Maybe someone can help me by posting his working server.cfg here. Thanks in advance...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 24play1 helped me alot. I already thanked him over MSN but I wanna say thanks to him here a well. -There was nothing wrong with my configs -There was nothing wrong with the files -There was nothing wrong with the start-up line Thanks to 24play1 we found out that the DEP in Windows was blocking SOF2!!! LOoool Suddenly 24play1 remembered that he once also had this problem! n1 mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Glad to here it. DEP also effects Mani Mod in the same way for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Nice to know that. Isn't there anyway of disabling DEP(shutting down the service)? What are the real benefits of DEP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yes you can disable it in the startup.ini file for each server. DEP is basically a security method built into Win 2k3 which allows or disallows programs to be run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
