Killing Floor problem

[deathcon62]

Identifier or Server DNS: DeadFloors

Game (CS 1.6, CS:Source, BF1942, Unreal etc): Killing Floor

Explanation of problem: I can not get my mutators to automatically come on when the server is restarted. They default to off.

Server log as follows:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17347758/server.log

With this command line:
KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker?Mutator=IJCWeaponPack-WhiteV27.IJCWeaponPack-WhiteV27?Mutator=MutKillMessage.MutKillMessage

Only the kill message mutator works, the others still default to off but if I turn them on manually they will work. I have tried editing the .ini file, it was no help.

The log is showing that the server is using a different line than you specified on your command line to start the server -- one with only the one mutator:

Are you certain that you don't have a LocalMap or other line in your .ini file that says this somewhere?

It also might be worth testing the mutators in your command line one at a time. It's possible that one of them is causing the line to be parsed incorrectly, such as IJCWeaponPack-WhiteV27 (which contains a "-").

KF-BioticsLab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker,MutKillMessage.MutKillMessage,IJCWeaponPack-WhiteV27.IJCWeaponPack-WhiteV27 then-anything-else-here

?Mutator= Uses a comma as the delimiter.

Confusing yea but thats how it is. I hope that helps but I'd do what Edge said and test 1 mod at a time alone to rule out problems. Default.ini holds a clean configuration file just copy that and rename it. Do something like this...

Code: Select all

KF-Doom2-Final-V7.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker log=kfserv-mut1.log -nohomedir ini=kfserv-mut1

Code: Select all

KF-Doom2-Final-V7.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker log=kfserv-mut2.log -nohomedir ini=kfserv-mut2

Code: Select all

KF-Doom2-Final-V7.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?Mutator=MutKFAntiBlocker.MutKFAntiBlocker log=kfserv-mut3.log -nohomedir ini=kfserv-mut3

It seems like a lot of work but it will save you time in the long run so you can pin point where your problem lays.

I used commas as a delimiter like you said, and now antiblocker and the kill messages are working, but not the weapon pack.

I have uploaded the new server log, just recheck the old link I posted

Have you tried loading that one on its own? Have you tried renaming it to not have the hyphen?

[deathcon62]

I tried renaming the file, got some critical error messages, wont start.

Ouch. In that case, you may have to speak to the author of that mutator for more help in troubleshooting it.
