Soldier of Fortune 2

[Edward]

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......

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

[Edward]

Yes please, take a look.

 

I made some screenshots...

Try adding +map <mapname> to your commandline.

 

 

[Edward]

No, no difference...

 

 

 

The server loads (takes 5seconds) then stops loading and after 2 seconds the server terminates...

[ECF]

What are you using for a commandline?

 

 

 

SOF Is pretty straight forward. Sounds like you are missing some files or maybe they are corrupt.

 

 

[Edward]

+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]

No... same issue with the 2 new uploads.

 

 

 

Maybe someone can help me by posting his working server.cfg here. Thanks in advance......

[ECF]

Can you give us the error you see in the console?

 

 

 

 

[Edward]

It says:

 

 

 

"failed to load dll looking for qvm"

[Edward]

and:

 

 

 

loading vm file vm/sof2mp_game.qvm

 

 

 

But I have no 'vm' folder

 

And on my home PC there is no 'vm' folder either, but there it works.

 

 

 

Also re-uploaded the dll files.... wasn't the solution either

[Edward]

Great!!!

 

 

 

What is your E-Mail?

[Edward]

Started uploading shouldn't take long

 

 

 

Hope it helps

[Edward]

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

[ECF]

Glad to here it. DEP also effects Mani Mod in the same way for future reference.

 

 

[Edward]

Nice to know that.

 

 

 

Isn't there anyway of disabling DEP(shutting down the service)?

 

What are the real benefits of DEP?

[ECF]

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.

[24play1]

Just glad I could help and its all working for you

 

 

 

You know my msn if you need me

 

 

 

Ty ECF for the follow up info ref switching it off it saves me a post in experts exchange hehe
