Loading a server-sided save onto a dedicated server

[Xalos]

Before someone tells me to use

Code: [Select]

schedule(1000,0,serverDirectSaveFileLoad,"Saves/Slate/Lava Trench Wars "@$mapVers@".bls", 3, "", 0, 1);I should like to point out that's what I am already doing. This gives the following error in the dedicated.bat console:

Code: [Select]

ERROR: ServerLoadSaveFile_Tick() - $LoadingBricks_BrickGroup does not exist!
BackTrace: ->ServerLoadSaveFile_TickAs best I can infer from this, ServerLoadSaveFile_Tick() isn't working in the way it's supposed to.

If anyone knows how to make this work, then I would be quite thankful.

you're trying to use $LoadingBricks_BrickGroup but it doesn't exist

[Destiny/Zack0Wack0]

you're trying to use $LoadingBricks_BrickGroup but it doesn't exist

obviously
This happens to me as well. I would also like to know what I'm doing wrong.

[otto-san]

post the script

it would probably help

[Xalos]

post the script

it would probably help

That pretty much is the script

It loads bricks, well, theoretically

Code: [Select]

schedule(1000,0,serverDirectSaveFileLoad,"Saves/Slate/Lava Trench Wars "@$mapVers@".bls", 3, "", 0, 1);
schedule(1000,0,echo,"Loading bricks (Hopefully)");

[otto-san]

why are you using a global variable

not that there's a problem with that

but why

[Greek2me]

I had this problem because my script loaded the bricks right when the mission started (which should work). However, you must give it more time in the schedule (10-20 seconds I think)

[Xalos]

Ahh, so that's the problem! I was doing the same thing too   .   .   .

Thanks a lot! :D


Edit: Nope, that did not fix the problem.

[Greek2me]

Make sure that you call the parent BEFORE the load. If that does not work, increase the delay until it works.

[Xalos]

This isn't a package or a function that's overwriting anything. It's just a schedule running a function.

[Greek2me]

I thought you said it started with the server? If possible, post the code please.

Server_ServerMods.zip/server.cs

Code: [Select]

function servercmdloadServerMod(%client,%name)
{
if(%client.isSuperAdmin)
{
if(isFile("Add-Ons/Server_MyMods/mod"@%name@".cs"))
{
exec("Add-Ons/Server_MyMods/mod"@%name@".cs");
%client.chatMessage("<color:0000ff>Mod "@%name@" loaded.");
}
else
{
%client.chatMessage("<color:ff0000>Mod "@%name@" was not found!");
}
}
else
{
%client.chatMessage("<color:ff0000>You need to be at least a super admin to use this command!");
}
}
if(isFile("Add-Ons/Server_MyMods/modl.cs"))
{
exec("Add-Ons/Server_MyMods/modl.cs");
}
Server_MyMods/modl.cs

Code: [Select]

function run(%name)
{
exec("Add-Ons/Server_MyMods/mod"@%name@".cs");
}
run("1a");
run("1b");
run("xalbot");
run("chatfaq");
run("shutdown");
//run("spectate");   *Broken: You can still use weapons if you discard them before spectating or if someone gives you their weapons.
run("kill");
run("setCol");
run("5");
//$mapVers = "4.2b2";
//schedule(15000,0,serverDirectSaveFileLoad,"Saves/Slate/Lava Trench Wars "@$mapVers@".bls", 3, "", 0, 1);   *Doesn't seem to want to work right, even though the file exists and there's plenty of time from the start of the server to when it's called.
I tag commented lines to explain the problem for future reference.

[Greek2me]

O yeah, $LoadingBricks_BrickGroup doesn't exist until a client joins the game. I wonder if you could create it manually?

[Xalos]

Hmm, maybe I should add the following:

Code: [Select]

$mapVers = "4.2b2";
package onJoin
{
function GameConnection::AutoAdminCheck(%client)
{
if($loaded != 1)
{
schedule(15000,0,serverDirectSaveFileLoad,"Saves/Slate/Lava Trench Wars "@$mapVers@".bls", 3, "", 0, 1);
$loaded = 1;
}
return Parent::AutoAdminCheck(%client);
}
};
activatePackage("onJoin");

[Greek2me]

That would work, but what I'd do is deactivate the package instead of having it check whether to load the file every time someone joins.
