Spring RTS Engine

Argh..
Yeah, try changing autohost.xml defaultmod to XTA v7
It should not crash in such "hard" way though. But another person reported me same crashing and installing AA 2.23 fixed it :)

Tobi .. links broken? They work for me.. Probably some temporary glitch.

Springie keeps crashing on me as soon as It asks for a login

.

Is springie dedicated, or will there be any plans in the future?

Im planning on buying a server or two in the near future. Now, these arnt going to be some 10+ year old POS gateway/dell desktop running linux... Im looking toward 4x Opterons. TA Spring was one game I considered hosting, though its not doable without dedicated mode.

It is dedicated and you need AA 2.23 to start it (thats why it crashes).

Rendering will be disabled completely after next spring update.

Take a Look at the ServerLandscape now - One week + Springie and you wouldn`t think it is the same Lobby. Licho thx again again and again.

So if I have AA 2.23 and it crashes...?

Try doing clean install of spring with just AA 2.23 mod. Or contact while in lobby, I will send you debug version.

I guess I'll install AA 2.23 then

I do not like having to install a huge mod that I don't play just so that I can auto-host mods I actually do want to play

An auto nanoblobs host would be ftw.

I will put one up as soon as I can get Springie to work. I'll try it tonight before I go to bed...

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 02:48**

So, why exactly is it AA 2.23 dependent?

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 03:10**

I really don't know. I don't mind that it's .NET dependent, but the requirement of AA 2.23, when most of us who are going to use it will probably autohost something else, is kind've amusing

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 03:13**

I can't think of a content requirement, but I am a little behind in terms of coding ability.

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 03:48**

It's NOT AA dependent :)
But you have my default autohost.xml and it contains "DefaultMod = AA 2.23" line ..

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 03:51**

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up, Licho.

I've rewritten your autohost.xml file... you must have those values hard-coded... it'd be better to remove them and ship the software with that file, honestly... who knows, though, maybe it's crashing due to other stuff.

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 06:17**

they aren't hardcoded argh...

I'm currently running a Gundam autoserver. Deci is running an EE autoserver.

All you need to do is copy paste the name of the mod that is in the modinfo.tdf

For example...

NanoBlobs v.0.61(beta)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AutoHostConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Password>*</Password>
  <HostingPort>8452</HostingPort>
  <MaxPlayers>8</MaxPlayers>
  <MinRank>0</MinRank>
  <DefaultMod>Gundam RTS 1.0b</DefaultMod>
  <DefaultMap>Evergreen_Haven-v03.smf</DefaultMap>
  <DefaultRectangles>
    <BattleRect>
      <Left>0</Left>
      <Top>0</Top>
      <Right>200</Right>
      <Bottom>30</Bottom>
    </BattleRect>
    <BattleRect>
      <Left>0</Left>
      <Top>170</Top>
      <Right>200</Right>
      <Bottom>200</Bottom>
    </BattleRect>
  </DefaultRectangles>
  <GameTitle>Gundam Autoserver (fixed - Damn Firewall)</GameTitle>

It's very simple actually.

I imagine it is crashing because you do not have the name of the mod right.

<defaultMod> needs to be exactly the name that you used in modinfo.tdf

Still not working

Would a crash report be helpful? It doesn't tell me anything useful when it dumps, but the memory-dump might be handy.

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 17:55**

Sorry for inconvenience .. wait for next update.. it will show messagebox with details about error (instead of crashing) and I will then be able to quickly fix it..

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 19:25**

This might be a stupid question, but are you sure you're writing the name in the right case? It seems to be case sensitive.

Posted: **13 Nov 2006, 20:57**

I literally copy-and-pasted the name into the field. It's not that.
