Issue with multiple workshop maps on server

Ryne

<div class="IPBDescription">"File not found"</div>I installed Eclipse and Plant on one of the all-in servers using the workshop method.

If i set my server.xml to have <mapName>ns2_eclipse_beta</mapName> it lets me loads in fine. If I then do sv_changemap ns2_plant it kicks me saying "file not found".

Now, if I change server.xml to <mapName>ns2_plant</mapName> and restart it, the server loads ns2_plant and lets me join. Now if I do sv_changemap ns2_eclipse_beta, I get kicked for "File not found"!

Any ideas whats going on?

We've tried maps on several servers also, always get File not found as you described when we have tried to change the map.

All mods need to be passed in lua to the Server.StartWorld() command for map changes to work properly from what I am seeing, Im working on confirming/testing this.

is this why i can't connect to any of the ALL-IN servers ? It disconnects me with message saying i don't have required mod. I've subscribed to eclipse and plant, but they don't fully download in the game mod menu. They're all listed as unavailable, but download anyway. Upon reaching 100% they switch to unavailable, and the download begins again in an endless loop.

This problem has been fixed, thanks to Dragon with his DAK mod. He found a few bugs with the mod system and has fixed them

The All-In #2 custom map server should work now (I put a huge FIXED in the name :P)

BTW, you dont have to be subscribed to them in the workshop.... it auto downloads them regardless.

still can't connect to "All-in #1 24" player server. I get message saying i don't have a required mod and i get disconnected. Mods menu is acting wacky still.

Tried using sv_changemap on a server with DAK installed and I still got the File not found error. Tried ns2_turtle_b2c1 and I know the server has the file.
Does it not work unless the maps are listed in the map cycle file?

Just checking, you do have the mod listed in kModsReloadList in DAKConfig.json right?

Ryne

Any word if this will be fixed for B222?

Without a fix, maps from the workshop do not work without using the DAK admin mod.

Jekt

Is this fixed without using DAK? Tried connecting to servers without DAK that are running customs maps and I either get File not found or Server mod is out of date.

It's downloading the mods now :D

I would be very interested in a howto for mods/maps, would like to put up nsstats/dak/some classic maps.

Tried copying used mod folders from %appdata%\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\Workshop to my server at /home/username/ns2server/ns2/config/mods

starting it with:

#!/bin/bash
Xvfb :1 &
echo "NS2 Server Starting...."
sleep 1
cd ns2
DISPLAY=:1 screen -A -m -d -S ns2 wine Server.exe -name "NL|225|zaggynl's test server" -webadmin -webdomain 141.138.149.70 -webuser user -webpassword pass -webport port -map ns2_docking -ip 141.138.149.70 -port 27015 -limit 16 -lan false -modstorage "/home/username/ns2server/ns2/config/mods" -mods "m5fd7a38" "m4b430cc" "m49cc732" "m5f4f178"
#m5fd7a38 = nsstats
#m4b430cc = tanith
#m49cc732 = eclipse
#m5f4f178 = DAK

echo "Attaching to server console.."
screen -x ns2

Webinterface doesn't show any mods, nothing mentioning mods on the console.

Whosat

Webinterface will not show any mods as of yet until NS2 is released as the javascript requires information from the Steam Workshop for NS2, which is not publicly available yet.

The mods will automatically download if you specify them in the -mods command line option. They need to be space-separated within one set of quotes, not one mod ID per quote. Note also that the mod ID does not include the prefix "m". Thus, there is no need for you to manually copy the mod files.

e.g. -mods "5fd7a38 5f42a0c" will download and update to the latest ns2stats and Huze's Admin Icons.

Here are some mod IDs to get you started:
// DAK Admin Mod: 5f4f178
// ns2stats: 5fd7a38
// Admin Icons: 5f42a0c
