Author Topic: Can't Join Some Servers...  (Read 871 times)

I'm guessing I'm the only one having this issue since I haven't seen it posted.

I received this error once last night while trying to join a server with Slezak's Windows Add-on. Kept trying to connect, but kept saying "(Failed to open file 'Add-Ons/bricks/4x1x5WindowT.blb'.)" Downloaded, and installed Slezak's Windows, connected fine.

Another issue, just now, trying to connect to a server I receive this error, "(Server is missing decal texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.PNG)." But has 4+ people connected, so must be my end.

Here the console section in regards to this issue:
"Could not locate texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png (will attempt to download)
Unable to load texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png for decal! - using default texture
Connection error: Server is missing decal texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png.
Issuing Disconnect packet."

I am unable to download Aloshi's Emotes in Text Add-on, so I cannot test to see if I can connect after installing add-on.


My question is, is there a cause for this crashing when a server has a graphic, or object that a client doesn't have? Never had those add-ons before, and connected to servers just fine. Did notice in the v7 Changelog, "Missing terrain and water textures will now be replaced with defaults if they cannot be downloaded from the server. This fixes some "Invalid Packet: 12" errors." Would this be the root of it?


Thanks,

I think the servers you are trying to connect to are running maps that you don't have. Could you post your console.log?

Both ran Bedroom maps, so that wouldn't be the issue, nor was it at that point of loading.

Problem lies within the content either not downloading correctly (second error,) or loading downloaded files right (first error.)

Curious on what Badspot thought actually since it didn't happen until the new version of Retail was auto-downloaded and installed.

I have a problem.... I'm enter the server "[Tagy] [Challenge]" and there is an error when I downloading datablocks and the download stop and it quit from blockland.
If you trust me to say you:
"If someone says for you to press alt f4, don't press! Dont press or it close blockland! Remember it!"

Look mister, You need to check the dates these topics were posted. If they were posted more than 5 months ago and haven't had a reply since - chances are the problem is solved. You making all these old threads go to the main page really messes things up.
