Crash When Starting Listen Server.

Adambean

<div class="IPBDescription">Back to the desktop!</div> The search here seems to be broken, so I'll post this anyway.

Whenever I start Natural Selection Listen Servers, it crashes just before it joins the map. This also applies to the Natural Selection Training Map, but no other Half-Life Mods.

Any suggestions? Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Could you tell me what exactly a listen server is?

A listen server is a server in which the operators PC can join.

It is basically what you start when you play a single player game, it's just that the developers sugar-coat it...

CombatGold1, does the same thing occur when you start a dedicated one?

Adambean

Dedicated works fine.

Are you running ANY<--- I MEAN ANY plugins on your server, This could have a BIG affect, Are you Running Metamod? Amxx? Amx? If you are running one of those please tell and i might be able to help you. If you ARE running amxx or Amx in listen Try This.




-----------------------
1.Go into the NS dir/Addons go into amxx or amx, Open the logs file and check if it says Modules arnt being read right or something, Try removing all the modules from the modules.INI

2. Go into your NS Dir/Liblist MAKE SURE YOU DID EXACTLY as the Metamod readme said, Make sure there are no typos in your Gamedll part.
Also Are you using WINDOWS? or Linux To host the server.
------------------------===
If these 2 options still wont work please reply.

I've also had it do that on uplink? I cant remember the command now its been so long, but both the nix and win srv would crash every time till I disabled that.

Nope, no mods. Just a plain HL1 listenserver.

I only want to use listen server so I can explore the maps.

todorov

that happens to me since i messed the listenserver.cfg i cant get my listen server to run since then

Adambean

I haven't even modified that.

Just wondering if anyone else has come up with any ideas <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

OK, I was having the same problem, I use a no-steam version of Counter-Strike 1.6 mainly becaues I have mates who unlike me don't own it. I find the hacked version easier to use so unless I'm playing HL2DM or CSS I don't even bother with steam.

When I installed NS3beta I had no problems, updated to latest 3.0 final and it crashed everytime I tried to load a listen server. I'm not sure what causes it, since I don't have the same problem with steam.

On that note I did end up fixing my problem, I copied the listenserver.cfg from 3.0beta to the new version and it seemed to fix my problem.

Not sure if this will help anyone else but hopefully it will since it's such an easy fix.
