Zelly

The my_cgame is part of FA's special package it might be worth a try to try a clean install on a non-fa server just in case(however I haven't heard of any problems with it before)

E: Also just to check are you running as admin?

Since no one has responded. thought id give my input(don't play much anymore, so take it with grain of salt)

My guess would be that its trying to load the wrong cgame dll. If it were me I would just delete everything in silent folder except for my silent.dat and just start over.

Thanks. I will give that a go.

Am looking for a way to get the winning team during intermission through lua.

Is there some server cvar that holds this?

I am drawing a blank at the moment, can't seem to locate any.

Are there any luas?

I know my lua can block people that are not on an actual team, or other conditions, from voting.

It  is possible another lua is doing something similar.

Just curious as it wasn't mentioned, unless i skimmed over it. What version did the server / client have.

And if its 0.9.0 are you sure you upgraded both server and client correctly. (As in using correct qagame/cgame and not mistakenly using the binary from the old version)

Also if 0.9.0 does it work on 0.8.x fine? (Trying to isolate which version is affected.)

as auth

/sudo update theirusername password newpassword
Example: /sudo update Zelly password secret123

as rcon/console

lua update theirusername password newpassword

You should probably confirm it is happening and not just people saying so.

Screenshots if possible mod version etc. also any hooks + luas you running to give us an idea

Sorry was away for the day

That version may not even work with silent 0.9.0 or at least some things may not work. I am working on the next version to be compatible with silent 0.9.0, but I am a slow worker now I lose interest pretty fast.

If you wish to track progress in the version compatible with 0.9.0 then follow this topic: http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/topic/6720-progress-on-next-version/

Ignoring that it probably will not work on silent 0.9.0...

What the current problem seems to be is that it can't find the save path though.

There is probably 1 of 3 things happening.

1. Is you don't have permission to write in your save path, I have never had this issue but it could possibly cause this.

2. (The Most likely) Is the folder structure isn't properly setup in your save path.

3. Some other error is preventing it from saving/reading files in save path, don't think so though since it would show in log.

What I would do is make sure you have the proper folders created in your save path.

Since lua can't make directories by itself, if your homepath is different than your base path then you have to manually create the directories.

Like said in the wiki, you need in your /fs_homepath/silent/ a folder called LESM and inside that folder you need a save folder.

So you would need to make a folder inside the silent mod homepath folder with LESM, and inside LESM you would need to create save,extra, and logs folder.

/fs_homepath/mod/LESM/
/fs_homepath/mod/LESM/save/
/fs_homepath/mod/LESM/extra/
/fs_homepath/mod/LESM/logs/

Hope that is somewhat helpful...

I tried but I always run into some problem that just doesn't make sense.

Also I can't do SQL. I can't even get as far as compiling the lua sql or finding the correct ones is too much of a hassle for me, which is why I have been asking for help on that part from the beginning.

I believe the censor module is separate now:

Hey all! I am still here.

I am kind of working on the next version a little more lately since silent 0.9.0 is out and it has lua 5.3.

I kind of already had a developmental build on a separate branch because et legacy runs lua 5.3 as well.

So I just went #YOLO and am going to work on making it a main release.

I still have to go and test a lot of stuff.

I went and wrote up a make shift change log of what is currently in the new release.

Seperated many functions into seperate classes to make a little more sense.
config-option-add: "AutoLevel.Message" Customizable message when reaching autolevel rank
	<xp> is the xp they reached to get the new level
	<newlevel> is the level they were promoted to
config-option-add: "AutoLevel.Location" Location for AutoLevel.Message

New guid validator will validate a guid before allowing a player to do any client commands or anything else.
	This vary's between mods the three main mods supported:
	etpro: It will wait until the etpro guid is active ususally takes about 2 seconds after connect.
	silent: Waits until silent guid is available to be read, takes less than a second.
	legacy-mod: Waits until cl_guid is avaiable to be read, takes less than a second.
		I think* if client's arent using the etlegacy client and they do not have pb enabled, then they may not be able to join.
	Other mods untested.

Started work on a kill spree/multi kill system.

config-option-add: "Profile.GreetingsFormat" and "Profile.FarewellFormat" so you can customize how the messages display
	<message> is the user's custom message (They can customize their message with things as well)
config-option-add: "ConnectPrint.Message" and "ConnectPrint.MessageBots" message format for the connect print(replaes the like 6 values before)
Completely re did connect / greeting / farewell messages
	They now work with the message replace system:
	(Bots and Humans)
		<players> Total players on server
		<axisplayers> Total players on axis
		<alliesplayers> Total players on allies
		<specplayers> Total players on spectator
		<playingplayers> Total players on axis + allies
	(Bots only)
		<bots> Total bots on server
		<axisbots> Total bots on axis
		<alliesbots> Total bots on allies
		<specbots> Total bots on spectator
		<playingbots> Total bots on axis + allies
	(Humans only)
		<clients> Total clients on server
		<axisclients> Total clients on axis
		<alliesclients> Total clients on allies
		<specclients> Total clients on spectator
		<playingclients> Total clients on axis + allies
	<c1> Color.Primary
	<c2> Color.Secondary
	<c3> Color.Tertiary
	<cvar(cvarname)> Get server cvar value
		Example: <cvar(sv_hostname)> would be replaced by the value of sv_hostname (Your server name)
	(Client specific - Meaning the message has to have an associated client, like deathprint,connectprint,farewell,greeting,motd and most others)
		<clientname> Name with colors
		<clientcleanname> Name without colors
		<clientcountry> GeoIP Country name
		<etkeyguid> ...
		<shortetkeyguid> Last 8 letters of etkey guid
		<silentguid> ...
		<shortsilentguid> Last 8 letters of silent guid
		<etproguid> ...
		<shortetproguidguid> Last 8 letters of etproguid guid
		<ip> Full client ip
		<ip1>,<ip2>,<ip3>,<ip4> each section of the ip
		<clientclass> Class title
		<clientclassnum> Class number
		<clientteam> Team titles
		<clientteamnum> Team number
		<clientnum> Current client slot number
		<clientversion> Client ET Version
		<clientprotocol> Client protocol (ET 2.55,ET 2.60b, etc..)
		<clientping> ping on the server
		<cliententity(fieldname)> Advanced entity get
			(http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/Silent_Lua#gentity_get)
			Example: <cliententity(sess.kstreak)> would output the current client's kill streak.
		<clientuserkey(key)> Output a key value
			Client has to be logged in for this to work.
			Example: "My real name is <clientuserkey(realname)>" would output something like "My real name is bob"

Added message of the day
	Can use replace text above

Worked on xpsave a little more, needs more testing though to verify it works on lua 5.3

Added the ability to use one of 3 distance units.
	units: is the ET(quake3) game units
	imperial: is feet and inches
	meters:
	Users have the option to choose server default or one of the 3
	Server can set the default to any of the 3

Added max rows user options
Added ability to configure if you want the server to lookup your console width.
	Server has an option for how often it checks (if at all)
config-option-add: "Profile.AutoWidth" Time between checking r_mode,r_customwidth on silent mod
	if 0 then it will not check

Removed scandirectory, will now warn when no Commands.json is found


config-option-add: "DeathPrint.Global" if true would spam deathprints to everyone after each death, not recommended
config-option-add: "DeathPrint.Message" format for death print message
	<killername> name of killer
	<teamkilled> "killed" or "teamkilled"

config-option-add: "Distance.Measurement" 
	0 quake units
	1 imperial
	2 metric
config-option-add: "Distance.ImperialFeet" message format for the feet
	<feet> = # of feet
config-option-add: "Distance.ImperialInches" message format for the inches
	<inches> = # of inches
config-option-add: "Distance.Metric" message format for metric units
	<metres>
config-option-change: "FreezeStart" and "FreezeStartTime" are just "FreezeStart" if 0 or lower then won't activate
config-option-add: "ConMaxChars" Number of characters that will output in server console per line.
	Useful for rcon and stuff

Lots of small changes to commands
Entire lua has a error wrapper around it now
	Which means errors will not be caught and logged to /fs_homepath/fs_game/LESM_Errors.log
	Errors still will cause problems, it will just be easier to identify them this way.
added /prune rud time <days> command for auth
	Will delete all RegularUserDataUser's that have not played in the past <days> days.

guess from my general knowledge: your current libmysqlclient.so was built for a different distribution of linux, takign a guess from the '64' maybe you have wrong architecture of the file.

Are you sure you updated the server correctly? I would verify that first.

qagame.so/dll replaced and the silent-0.8.2.pk3 replaced by silent-0.9.0.pk3?

Also check server logs and client console logs see if it says anything else.

I was tired okay.. leave me alone

@COOLSQUAD:

The point is in short "you" being the server manager are forcing what you think is "ugly" on other people that may think your menus are ugly. It should be up to the player what he thinks.

@silent dev:

Question:

Can client's make a client pk3 for themselves now then?

I think the answer is no, or only partially yes(Client's can create a menu for when they are not connected to a server)

I think the direction you are heading is a good one(despite unfortunate backwards compatibility glitches) giving more control to the client.

It would be nice to have like a cvar like:

cg_loadui

0 would load default silent mod ui.

1 would load custom client mod ui files when present

2 would load  server mod menus when present

Sorry if it kind of already works like this, just kind of thinking of ideas. I can make a proper feature request if needed.

Yeah you do not need the commands, but it does not hurt to have them.

And at the time thing, I looked at my posts and only found 1 other one, so I don't think so.

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Zelly/6d89e71525c504638ac0/raw/d62313a175e2f55819761f8ed8f4f3c38cf5716b/shoutcaster.lua

If they were capable of checking forums this wouldn't be a problem

It would cause many more problems than it would fix.

I guess, I just think a lot of server operators don't upgrade within few days more like a within a few weeks and the really slow guys within take months some times. Their loss I guess. I personally am not too concerned about it, just a little worried about the smaller servers.

Not sure if I fully understand, so correct me if I misunderstand.

If I connect to a plain 090 server and then I try to connect to a 082 server, I would get an error? And to fix it I would have to manually delete the dll/so ?

If so I understand you wanting everyone to upgrade but like purple said people are not going to upgrade right away for various reasons.

I also don't recall this being a problem in other mods, in the past(has been a while though).

If this is the case then this puts a lot of unneeded stress on the small amount of remaining players, most people just simply will not understand why they can't play.

I am not talking about supporting an old version am just saying they should still be able to load the old version.

EDIT: a word, a sentence

i will when silent mod goes open source x)

exactly.

there already is one out somewhere.

I challenge you to find it.

could make a makeshift version of this in lua I think.

pseudocode:

if has shrubbotflag somerandomshrubbotflagthatisntbeingusedyet and playerlevel < targetlevel and targetlevel not equal highest_level and not target_is_bot then

  do shrubbot command from console

end

also could only allow this for a specific list of whitelisted commands like throw, gib, burn, etc. (So they would not be able to ban or kick)
