Questions to run a MP Server

[Das_Offertorium]

Hi there,
at first, sorry for my bad english i hope you can understand what i mean

I will run a small Quake MP on a Linux server for me and a few friends, we use Darkplaces as Client and Server.

In which order Darkplaces use the mods from the startup command? I mean, this is my command: darkplaces.exe -game rogue -game hipnotic -game id1 -game kleshik from which folder the config.cfg is used from rouge or from kleshik?

What is the best Coop-Mod out there to play the Singleplayer Campains, at this time i try Kleshik.
But I have missing models and sound files in Kleshik. For Example the Server says on startup:

Mod_LoadModel: progs/s_wrtgb3.mdl not found
Mod_LoadModel: progs/wrthgib1.mdl not found
Mod_LoadModel: progs/wrthgib2.mdl not found
Mod_LoadModel: progs/wrthgib3.mdl not found
Mod_LoadModel: progs/w_ball.mdl not found
Mod_LoadModel: progs/wrath.mdl not found

the same error in client.

Where i can download the missing files?

Kleshik is a litle bit �shiny�, to many blood, gore, cartridges, particels and evil pentragrams. How i can disable that.

How can i download the Rquake Coop Mod, i have the Maps but not the Server Binarys?

Ok thats it for the first, sorry Guys i have a few more Questions, i hope you can help me.

Hi,
thanks Burns, on this site I find the uncompiled Version. I will try to make the files and will report.

Today i find another error under my Ubuntu Server with the new Version from Darkplace (2016-09-17 autobuild) i become a segment fault error on startup.

Here is the log from my console:

P.s. Same error under root

P.s.s without any *.pak File in the Folder id1 the server will start without any issue. But with my PAK-Files from my steam installation i have this error. Is there a Patch or anything else for the PAK Files?

[Mr.Burns]

Being very, very, Very old I've never used Steam to install quake so it's hard to advise you. However, if the problem only occurs when they are present this does suggest that perhaps there are some differences with the files Steam has provided for you versus the original Quake Paks from the CDs. could they have become corrupted by any chance? If it helps, my original version of PAK0 is 17.4 MB (18,276,119 bytes) and PAK1 is 32.6 MB (34,257,856 bytes)

In terms of patching your PAK files it's not normally necessary for a server but I would just insure that you have an up to date engine such as Proquake or the newer Darkplaces versions just to iron out any old bugs.

Just out of curiosity why have you added " -developer" and "-developer_memory" to your command line? You might also try adding a reservation for some memory in your
command line to ensure that Quake has enough to run. This shouldn't be absolutely necessary for a basic server but its worth a try.

Hope this helps

There shouldn't be any difference between the pak files from the CD and from any online distribution. At any rate, I won't provide any link because it's illegal but you can very easily find rips of the pak files on the internet. You could try to download them and compare them with yours...

[Das_Offertorium]

Hi,
thanks for the help, I will try the pak from the CD and report.

@Mr.Burns i have add the -developer Commands to test why the server is crash. But sadly no more info.

Darkplaces allocates memory dynamically, so there's no need for adjustments like -heapsize etc...

I did said say that this shouldn't be absolutely necessary for a basic server but until further information surfaces it was worth a shot in the dark.

Hi,
sadly it don`t run with the orginal pak0.pak, i have checked the md5 from here here and test it with Version 1.01 and 1.06. MD5 is matched but same Error in any Version.

Is there a Bug in the last Version, darkplacesengine20140513 runs fine at dedicated Server?

Under Windows7_64Bit Darkplaces also crashed with this startup parameters:

@echo off
darkplaces.exe -game id1 -dedicated

Is there a place to open a bug report?

Bye
D_O

[Mr.Burns]

You don't normally need the -game id1.
Just as a process of elimination have you tried running the same server using Proquake instead of Darkplaces? If so what was the result?

[Mugwump]

Yes there is: Darkplaces error reporting thread.

[Das_Offertorium]

@Burns: I only find a proquake server here from 2008, that is the right?

@bfg: i wrote a post in the Thread.

Yes. To establish if your problem is engine specific or not perhaps try and run the same command line using the Proquake engine. If it runs OK with the PAKs it could suggest that the problem may be in your Darkplaces engine. If it has the same problem if indicates that the problem may be elsewhere.

Kind regards
