clanforge/shrubbot and admin levels returing to zero

[jizz]

hi peeps any help greatly appreciated:

 

started server which uses clanforge, we have no driect access to the install via ftp only rad only access.

 

silent is running very well and we can set admin levels using the rcon console in clanforge. this works until we disconnect and then admin levels return to 0 and xp is not retained!!!!

 

this is copy of server.cfg:

--------------

i suspect that the install structure may be wrong but ca not do anything about this re: ftp access. thisis pic of install structure:

 

• silEnT (5)
  • campaigncycle.cfg
  • lmscycle.cfg
  • maps.cfg
  • objectivecycle.cfg
  • server.cfg
• GV Streaming (3)
• pbsvlog.cfg
• pbsvucon.use
• pbsvuser.cfg
• shrubbot.cfg
• Other (2)
• pbsvuser.cfg
• shrubbot.cfg

as said any help greatly appreciated

 

thxs in advance

Hi !

 

Your problem comes from "set g_XPSaveMaxAge "12o""  the unit is in seconds so you dont save xp a lot

[jizz]

ofc didnt see that (smacks head)...any idea as to why shrubbot does not retain admin levels??

[JohnDory]

were are you executing your silent.cfg ?

[Ray]

Hi !

 

Your problem comes from "set g_XPSaveMaxAge "12o""  the unit is in seconds so you dont save xp a lot

I changed the value it into 2592000s, but it still doesn't save the XP's.

 

Edit:

admin levels seems to be stored now.

@hh: is that not simply a matter of instructing server.cfg to load shrud: -set g_shrubbot "shrubbot.cfg"?

 

sorry new to this!! should explain ....me and ray doing this together so he is referring to same thing;)

Please visit our wiki for the details of how the shrubbot works in silEnT mod.

http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Shrubbot

 

You need to have g_dbDirectory set to have shrubbot working.

I can see that you have it set to "database" but I don't see this directory in the listing you posted.

[TheSilencerPL]

I would also recommend visiting installation page:

http://mygamingtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Silent_Mod_Installation

[jizz]

hi silencer, this is one of issues....i can not work out how to set the database in clanforge as .db is not one of the associated files and no ftp write access?

clanforge support not the best when it comes to et so we are kinda shooting in the dark....especially when clanforge tech ask us what shrub is^^

[TheSilencerPL]

Generally it all should work after you unzip the silent.zip. After that it's only a matter of tuning.

However it all depends on the service provider and integration of their scripts. I don't know clanforge and how they handle mod installation and what you have available. Please tell them that you need the directory structure as in the silent.zip file from our release package. Anyone here has any experience with clanforge?

[JohnDory]

Hi jiz,

You have to have the silent.cfg execute from your server.cfg, you upload it via clanforge in the configs tab of the profile your editing.

Once that is done it should create all the default files and things it needs.

I'm not sure what version they uploaded in clanforge as I have ftp access to my machine.

[JohnDory]

 Anyone here has any experience with clanforge?

Clanforge isnt like that, it does everything for you, is easy once you know what your doing, the multiplay staff try.

[jizz]

tbh 'we' prolly made it harder for ourselves.....so i have uninstalled silent, reuploaded the release zip pointed to by silencer and asked clanforge to uninstall and reinstall as per the file structure contained in the zip, this way any mistakes by 'us' will not hinder progress.

 

@hh i appreciate you must be a busy bee but would you have the time to help us set it up just the basic structure in terms of what to upload etc and where....

[JohnDory]

sorry I cant tonight, I'll try tomorrow.

How are creating your silent profile ? through clanforge with the create profile button.

[jizz]

@ hh no no m8 i appreciate that....anytime you have free we will fit in with you.....it will prolly take a bit of time for clanforge to uninstall and reinstall mod......and yes i created profile through clanforge profile,button.

 

would it be poss to hit you up on skype/msn tomorrow night sometime...my skype/msn adi is dpsholt@gmail.com

Edited January 20, 2013 by jizz

[JohnDory]

are you around tomorrow ?

I'll try creating a new silent profile in the morning if I get chance, test it to see if it works and then let you know how I got on, I'll have more of an idea how to help you then.

One last question, have managed to get a plain ET server running via clanforge yet ?

[jizz]

arrgh m8 you are a star.....yes i am about from about 8am till 3pm then work till 8.30pm(rl sucks) but i can be got hold of anytime between those times and after 8.30.

 

yes we managed to get plain et install running but was v vanilla no alterations or shrub running etc infact it is still up we have just deleted the silent profiles

[Ray]

This version is now running on the server: Enemy Territory ( v2.60b )

 

I'll go play Angrybirds while I wait for you guys.

Edited January 21, 2013 by Ray

[JohnDory]

sorry it was easier to explain off the forum, I think everything is sorted now

[Ray]

omg harry what a cluster****...the 1st tech made us a new profile (nq) and loaded them to there and then said didnt know what he was doing so we had to raise a ticket^^

[JohnDory]

they do have a couple of people who know something of ET but its getting the right people.

If your on live chat with them and they cannot fix just ask for them to turn your chat into a ticket, its much easier.

I would suggest to change host.

 

started server which uses clanforge, we have no driect access to the install via ftp only rad only access.

 

 

What kind of host gives only read access to FTP? 

[Ray]

Multiplay - Hosting company

[Petbark]

Game servers give full ftp access.

I have no problems running silEnT.

[hellreturn]

Multiplay - Hosting company

 

Post reviews here:

 

http://mygamingtalk.com/forums/forum/15-game-server-hosting-support-and-reviews/

 

Change host. Without access to FTP it's hard to run server. How do you upload maps if you have only read access? 

 

Their are tons of host out in market. I would say find another host. If host doesn't care for business time to take business elsewhere.
