    To add Clanmod to your NS-server is almost as easy as adding adminmod. There are a few things you can do to the configuration files to prevent your admins to try things that are not relevant for NS.

    Until VadaKill writes an installation guide for ClanMod I can share the changes that I have made to the configuration files.

    Download the generic (not mod specific configs) ClanMod files from www.unitedadmins.com. Also download the NS specific configuration files for ClanMod. You find them in the NS forum on www.unitedadmins.com. Yes! They also have a NS forum! The only real change from the generic configs that I could see at a glance was that the cm_maps.cfg held the correct rows to enable menubased mapchanges.

    I will not tell you how to install ClanMod but its pretty straight forward. Here are my changes to the configuration files:

    As you can see I have stripped much of the menu alternatives. The stuff removed were weapon restrictions ala CS and the setting of CB and such configurations. The three restarts and go is still here though, as is the load PUBLIC Settings alternative. I just renamed it to Reload Settings. I left the repeat map alternative here since it might just come in handy.

    I have also addded the Ready Room alternative to the client command menu and renamed the CT and T alternatives to Marines and Aliens respectively.

    <b>EDIT</b>
    I have now changed the Aliens and Marines commands from CS style to NS style. I have'nt checked them out yet. Hope they work =]

    I also removed some stuff from the conmotd.txt file. These will not affect gamplay in any way, but I show it here for completeness.

    <b>conmotd.txt:</b>
    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->

    Thats it really!

    <b>IMPORTANT</b>
    You need to bind the keys 1-0 to slot1-slot10 for the menus to work!!!
    Add this to your config.cfg (client-side)

    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    Happy hunting!

    <b>EDIT: Things that won't work in NS</b>
    I will begin to start a list of things that do not work in ClanMod for NS. The idea is that I will add stuff to this list by editing this post. That way this stuff is easy to find. My intetion is not to create a complete list of stuff that doesnt work. I will add the things that I come across during causal NS play. I will try to create a quite comprehensive list though. Check back on this post once in a while.

    Legend: [CM] Means feature in ClanMod. [ADMIN] Means feature in AdminMod


    <ul>
    <li>[ADMIN] admin_csay do not work. Probably due to the way NS displays text on screen
    <li>[CM] cy and all other clanmod commands for centertext do not work. Related to issue above.
    </ul>

    <b>Debian package installs</b>

    You’ll need to download the package and install it using the apt-get command. You will have to be logged in as ROOT in order to install them. Use the following commands for lynx and unzip packages.

    <!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
    apt-get lynx
    apt-get unzip
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    Once both are installed you should be able to type “lynx” and “unzip” at the command prompt to get either a lynx web browser (Q to quit) and a short help on the usage of unzip.

    Couple of suggestions.

    1.) You don't need to add +server.cfg on the command line. It is executed auto.

    2.) add exec autoexec.cfg to the server.cfg file. In the autoexec.cfg file put maxplayers X (x being number of players you want your server to have.) If you do this then leave the +maxplayers line off the command line also. I find it easier to do this way, because you can change maxplayers whenever you want and it will change on map change.

    Adminmod is working on my server, and the user.ini file is correct and I am doing setinfo correctly, but for some reason it is now allowing me to do commands.
  • PhalckPhalck Join Date: 2002-06-03 Member: 722Members

    Then the most probable problem is that something went wrong in the authentication process.

    Check the following:
    <ul>
    <li>That the password field in adminmod.cfg is the same as the setinfo line in autoexec.cfg
    <li>Try enclosing the value assigned to the password field paramters with "-signs
    <li>The passwords are the same in the user.ini and the autoexec.cfg file
    <li>Join your server. In the console type disconnect. Type exec autoexec.cfg. Type retry. (Just to make sure the file is executed)
    <li>Try with no encryption on the passwords. Check the adminmod paramater for this in adminmod.cfg
    <li>Check the server-console (e.g. print-out in the screen application) for lines that say that adminmod is running correctly, that the users.ini file has been loaded etc
    <li>Checkt that there is a line in the console at login that says that you have become admin
    <li>Make sure that the commands you try work with NS. admin_say and admin_map will work
    <li>Make sure that you have the appropriate access level to execute the command, assign yourself the highest level of access for debugging purposes
    </ul>

    One quick comment on the use of Lynx..

    try "wget" sometime. It is much nicer than lynx IMHO.

    Syntax: "wget <a href='http://www.file.com/thisfile.tar"' target='_blank'>http://www.file.com/thisfile.tar"</a> <-- this will find the file and download it.. It will work with FTP files as well.
  • BrutusBrutus Join Date: 2002-10-20 Member: 1555Members
    I found where I went wrong. When I made the users file I named it user.ini instead of users.ini.
  • BitchSL4PBitchSL4P Join Date: 2002-08-04 Member: 1062Members, NS1 Playtester
    Let me add to this another problem we've been seeing a lot of.

    If you get the "LoadLibrary failed on ***/hlds_l/ns/dlls/ns_i386.so: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" error, look for a file named libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 in your lib directory. If you find that make a symlink to it, i.e. ln -sf libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2.

    Great newbie guide to setting up the server, I only have one question. I don't want to run an internet server, I want to run a LAN only server, for my college. What options to I need to pass when I start it up so that it will only show up on the lan, and users joining won't have to authenticate with WON (slows things down)?

    You would set "sv_lan 1" in your server.cfg file <b>or</b> "+sv_lan1" to command line, also you will need to add "-nomaster" to your command line. I've also heard that you may have to "setmaster none" in your autoexec.cfg file for the server.
  • ZildjianZildjian Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8688Members
    yeah, I got that fixed with the +sv_lan 1 and -nomaster. My problem now is that my server doesn't show up on the lan listings. You can go to the internet listings and specifically add my ip, but you can't see it in the lan listings. This may very well be something in the way that the campus lan is set up, but does anyone have any other suggestions?
  • SuicideDogSuicideDog Join Date: 2002-11-10 Member: 8104Members
    when you use the -nomaster switch it will prevent it from showing up in the lan listings.. I don't think there is a way to prevent it. I may be wrong though
  • MarlboroMarlboro Join Date: 2002-11-01 Member: 2585Members
    In order for a LAN server to be automatically seen by clients on the LAN: You must not use +ip or -ip or +port or -port in your start line. Don't ask me why, I just know it doesn't work. The server has to be run on port 27015, or the clients will never see it. Yay, eh?

    Make sure you are in the hlds_l directory when you try to run the server. Basically, you should be able to see the hlds_run file when you do an "ls -l" in the hlds_l directory.

    ...note:
    In directory hlds_l is File ds_l_3110_full.bin This was dumped in there by the hlds_l_3110_full.bin after running it,and NS directory with all the rest plus the 1.2 patch NO other files!Me being rank beginner is stuckith

    "ls -l" has a space between the "ls" and the "-l", it tells linux to list the contents of the directory in "long" format.

    If you have the "hlds_l_3110_full.bin" file you need to run it. To do that you need to "chmod 777 hlds_l_3110_full.bin" to give it permission to become an executable file then, run the file by typing "./hlds_l_3110_full.bin"

    When it executes the file it will give you a license agreement, you have to agree to it and then it will extract the .tar.gz file that you can actually expand into the server structure. From that point you should be able to follow the guide the rest of the way into "offspring beatdown."

    Do I need the ns_102.zip also for a Linux dedicated server install? Is that the patch and do I need to have find a .tar version of it or will the .exe work with Linux

    Well now you need 1.03 instead of 1.02. I usually unzip the zip on my machine, make all the changes needed to the config, then take the server down for a sec, upload it all, and bring it back up.

    There is no .tar.gz version of the patches.
