Setting Up My Linux Server

bert · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">sry i'm a server newbie</div> hey i just set up a half life dedicated server and it works like a charm for cstrike and other halflife mods but gets stuck whe nit comes to ns...

i eventually wanna get admin mod and some plugins like unstuck but i figure i should try it normal first....

i've installed the ns dedicated server and the 1.04 patch and when i run it says:

Console initialized.
Protocol version 46
Exe version 3.1.1.1
Exe build: 22:35:19 Apr 19 2003 (2378)
WON Auth Server
Server IP address 127.0.0.1:27015

and then stops there forever...

the command line i'm running is ./hlds_run -game ns -ip 192.168.1.99 +maxplayers 16

192.168.1.99 is my ip behind my router but i have my router set on port forwarding to this server (as i said, it worked for cstrike)

can someone help me i'm stumped.

thx,
cockbert.

I'm just guessing here, but shouldn't you add a -map to that?

./hlds_run -game ns -ip 192.168.1.99 +maxplayers 16 <b>-map ns_eclipse</b>

On second thoughts, it might be +map...

tried it
didn't work.
thx tho.

any other suggestions?

actually with the +map in there it gives me a segmentation fault or something

i dunno its crazy.

er....post the segfault here...are you on RH? using 3.1.1.1 ?

bert · July 2003

yea i'm using redhat 7.3

ds 3.1.1.1

heres the error i get:

./hlds_run: line 83 1471 Segmentation Fault $HL $*

what do you think i should do?

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but I've experienced no end of problems trying to get an NS server working on Redhat. You're probably best trying out Debian - the minimal CD is a 200 MB download, and it worked fine for me first time.

Using 3.1.1.0 will fix your RH woes. w/o upgrading your OS.

Instead of -ip 192.168.1.99 try +ip 192.168.1.99
And yes, you need the +map or you need to load a map manually.

Don't know if that solves your problem tho.

Yes, this was incorrect but it is not what is causing your segfaults

can you tell me where to find hlds 3110 ?

and are you sure this will work and not give clients the "your version differs from the servers?"

btw thx for the help if 3110 fixes it i will worship you

****bert.

crackerjack mac you are my god

3110 works perfectly

THANK YOU SO MUCH

on a similiar note maybe the incompatibility with 3111 should be checked out.... it might prove a problem for anyone who wants to make a new server...

thank you again mac, you saved me.

****bert.

The Compatiblity for 1.04 is ignored at this point mainly due to the face that 2.0 is VERY near completion in which case Vada and Myself (and all the other beta ops using linux) will put the linux server binary under HEAVY tests and loads to fully verify that the binary is release worthy. Mainly due to the fact that the release of 1.0 was tragic for most linux servers in the sense it was not tested heavily enough. We will have 3-4 diff servers/distros testing it for this reason.

The release of 2.0 should be much better than 1.0 in the linux sense.

Have a nice day

Sounds good! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
It would really suck if it wouldn't run on some distributions so I'm glad you're going to test it that way.
