Server Troubles

[Jack Bauer]

Ok, I rented a server from noghost.net. Some people are able to log on just fine but others....
First of all, when I tried on my desktop it worked just fine, but when I tried on my laptop, I could see no HUD. I dont mean a custom hud, i mean no hud ingeneral. When I clicked I couldnt join a team or anything because the menu didnt show. I could only see chat through the console..no idea why, so I logged onto the irc and someone told me to set sv_pure to 1, so I did that an noone could connect, not even myself. Said UNPURE CLIEN DETECTED and everyone was booted....
ALso, a lot of people when they connect, their name changes when they enter the game to some name that they used who knows how long ago.....

And now some people cant connect at all. It says Awaiting Game State, and then they go right back to the main menu. Any ideas how to fix this?


I wondered if it was because of the way its set up in noghost.:
There is a main folder called tremulous, and in that folder are 2 more folders, base and mods. The base folder has all the maps and the data.pk3 and thats it. Mods has another base folder, with all the .cfgs and the vm folder. Also tremded is in the main tremulous folder....
I REALLY would like to get this fixed thanks
Not sure if i put this in the right spot :/

The name thing is probably caused by fs_game being something other than base.  If you're not running a mod with a download, then set it back to base.
The pure thing is probably because the server is missing data-1.1.0 or vms/1.1.0, enable pure and make those are both there and uncorrupted / unchanged.

Well when I get on the server and do  /fs_game, it says mods/base   which it claims to be defalt. Also data-1.1.0.pk3 is there, I haven't changed that at all. But like I said, it is kindof a different folder set up on noghost.

Theres a picture of the file explorer on the webconsole, so you can better visualize the structure.
That first basefolder under tremulous is where the maps, data, and vms are located. And then the base folder under mods is where server.cfg, admin.dat, misc.cfgs, info, mapconfigs, and the vm folder obviously with the qvm inside...
Are the problems Im having just because of this unusual set up?
There is also a section called Game Setup where I set the default setup .cfg which is set to server.cfg
and mod/game is set to mods/base. Not sure if posting that made any difference but...

the picture says "mod/base" should be your fs_game.
Does fs_game on the server say mods/base or mod/base?

[Jack Bauer]

It said mod/base that was just a typo. Anyway, i determined that it was just because of the bizarre set up, so i tried to rearrange things so that fs_game is tremulous/base, but now I cant get the server to start :/

Again, this might just be how you said it, but if the base folder is located in "tremulous/base" then you need fs_game to be just "base".

Also, what happened to the other "base" folder in your picture?

Finally, talk to the guy who set this up. From what I understand the default values are set in the code itself, so its not just the directory structure that's messed up (and doesn't sv_pure default to 1 normally?).

[Jack Bauer]

Yeah I rearrenaged everything and set game to base instead of mod/base. And its running now, but still not sure if the problem is fixed or not. The 1st base folder is where maps data.pk3 and vms.pk3 were. ANd the 2nd one is where the vm folder, all the .cfgs, and mapconfigs were. tremded was in base/mod. But i moved tremed to tremulous and everything else to base basically. Ill find out if it worked later in the day.

[UniqPhoeniX]

Uhh maybe the 'mod' folder is supposed to be fs_homepath? Then fs_game would be 'base'.

[Jack Bauer]

Well, I don't know but it seems to be working now. One of the people who couldn't log in can log in now but when he uses tremfusion, he still has no hud...I wonder if its tied to tremfusion some how. I don't see how it could be, because I use tremfusin on this comp and it works just fine.
