Unable to load any mutators

[Ragonz]

Been scratching my head with this for a while now. I cant load any mutators at server startup. However after the server is loaded I can add them using the web admin tool.

Commandline

Ucc.exe server CTF-EpicBoy?game=Botpack.CTFGame?Mutator=MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote multihome=IPADDRESS

IPADDRESS replaces the actual IP address

I've also tried with Instagib but get the same issue.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

Also tested on a clean install with nothing other than MapVoteLA13 in same issue

It's right there in the log. It can't load mapvote because it's not on the server.

[Ragonz]

The files are there and it works after the server launches when you add it using the web utility
Also that doesnt explain Instagib as that comes with the standard files (I think)

I notice that you have the server package listed as "MapVoteLA13vv", but your command line specifies "MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote"

The .int file for MapVoteLA13vv shows:

MapVoteLA13vv.BDBMapVote

So maybe that's the problem?

Tried that too as well as several other variations. All give same error

Only add "?mutator=" once, then string together the mutator class names as a comma-separates list.

[Ragonz]

?mutator= is only added once?

[Wormbo]

Yes, something like:
DM-Whatever?mutator=Botpack.Mutator1,Botpack.Mutator2 ,CustomPackage.Mutator3

[Ragonz]

no sorry you have misunderstood my reply.
?mutator is in fact only added once, I am not adding it multiple times and at the moment am only using a single mutator

[Ragonz]

any other ideas?

I guess try a different mapvote then if it run through, try re-installing the mapvote you're trying to use.

[evilgrins]

I don't use MapVote so I can't speak to this specifically... but along with that line you've got up there, and the serverpackages however you put them: when you start the game do you select whatever MapVote you've got in the mutators selection window too?

Secondary idea: Have you tried starting a practice round and seeing if you can get it to work that way?

The file in question is not in the proper folder or your server would be finding it. There is an issue that you are either loading another mapvote by mistake, your int files are messed up, or a combination of the two. There will never be a time when a properly called mod will fail to load then be available via webadmin or any other method.

If you still can't figure this out then email me. agutgopostal at either hotmail or gmail. Let me see your config files and find the error. I have several people I call upon to do this for me because it's *incredibly* easy not to see some stupid simple comma or space or the like. You just get too close to working on it and go blind to seeing it like fresh eyes would. It used to really humble me when I got my problems like this pointed out but now I know it's just part of the whole U-experience. Now I have a set group of people I go to and just send them everything to find my mistake.

It's always something basic.

Guarantee if you asked me or anyone who has replied to this thread they will find the problem in less than a minute by seeing your configuration and comparing that to a sample log from your startup.

This is slightly off topic, but if I remember right adding the DE to your server packages will cause a version mismatch for a lot of people. It's been years since I hosted a server, but I remember getting the version mismatch due to that file in the serverpackages on a ton of servers.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I also think that package is all serverside code... I'm wrong, I just opened the package.

Yes you have to remove this serverpakage from servers
