Yes we do. And the search feature does too.

If someone asks for directions, you're not going to tell them to go to a tourist center, buy a map, and tell them to figure it out, are you?

No. (Well, I hope not.)

Give him the map, point him in the right direction, don't baby him, but don't leave him lost, either.

Oh, and next_ghost;

...some threads which adress the same problem (SV_botfreeclien: bad client number...). Neither issue seems to have been resolved

Searching for "SV_BotFreeClient: bad clientNum" gets 7 hits....

I see no mention of where to grab a new tremded, do you?

[David]

He doesn't need one, all he has to do is delete whatever mods some stupid server dumped in his base folder.

Had you read his post you would know he was making a server with the menu ingame, don't need a tremded for that.

perhaps?

That's exactly what I did.

[Plague Bringer]

Yes we do. And the search feature does too.

That's giving him the map, where's the direction? Tell him what to search for, or better yet, give him a search page with the search already input (as I did). Or even give him some links from the search, then leave him to figure it out.

[David]

Your link to the search results failed.  As you would have noticed had you looked at what you pasted.

[Plague Bringer]

Another reason why the search function is useless -.-;;

Atleast I tried.

Since the question contains the error message and this topic is not in General Discussion, I think it's pretty safe to assume he KNOWS the obvious direction. :roll:

I clicked "Create server", choose the map and click the Create arrow and i get this error.

Hence it being in the server section.

any 1 know why?

Not much direction there.

Well.. the thread pointed to suggested as well that you might have multiple copies of certain files interfering with eachother. David's idea is also a pretty good one..

my suggestion is just install trem again in a different place, clean install and run it from there for servers.. for home use you should be fine, and you don't have to delete any mods or screw around with your existing install.

Arguing about search will most certainly not fix the problem though.
