Setup script missing? (springlobby)

[Zantza]

Hello,

after not played this game for ~half a year i now installed it on my new computer. Now that i have it sorted out, downloaded BA 7.94 and some random maps. As i try to start a single player match i just get a small window saying: "Setup-script does not exist in given location: \script.txt" Am i missing something obvious here or is this a bug in the current releases or what?

Here is the infolog.txt:

uh if you want to just play against AI you can use the lobby program for it
by hosting a private server or use the lobby internal SP feature

and what AI to use, RAI is a old general purpose AI but not really challenging
there is also KAIK and AAI but I dunno how to set them up

alternatively you can just use the chicken defense mutator for BA

script.txt is automatically generated normaly in spring folder I think
did you played around with the settings on spring.exe like mods,maps,ai/script to use?

Think he is doing one of those ways. Question is which one?
It seems a bit like problem from lobby, so which lobby are you using: TASclient, Springlobby, zeroK-lobby or something else?

[Zantza]

I am using the standard SpringLobby and i didn't modify any settings.

[Jools]

Try to use Spring Lobbys Help->System info. It prints out all the directories. From what I see from your infolog, your data directory is

Using read-write data directory: C:\Users\Käyttäjä\Documents\My Games\Spring\

and that's where the script file (_script.txt) should be. Maybe SL looks instead somewhere else?

[Zantza]

Well, this is what the system info thingy looks like:

Code: Select all

LobbyWriteDir (C:\Users\Käyttäjä\AppData\Roaming\SpringLobby)
	WX: yes POSIX: no TRY: no
TempStorage (C:\Users\KYTTJ~1\AppData\Local\Temp)

[Jools]

Well, it's due to wrong path of spring data dir. But I'm not a pro with SL, maybe someone else knows how to fix it? Maybe try to reinstall it?

[Zantza]

I have already reinstalled it multiple times with no results. So, anyone have any ideas on fixing this?

[Jools]

To me it seems SL:s datadir is empty, but is that normal when spring is not installed in portable mode? Where does SL store its datadir information?

You can alter the datadir in springsettings.cfg file with parameter SpringData = <path> (create such a file in same directory as where spring.exe is and put that entry there if it doesn't exist), but how to tell SL what the datadir is, that I don't know.

[Silentwings]

What do you see when you go to edit -> prefs -> spring in springlobby ?

[Zantza]

This is what the preferences window looks like. The unitsync library's path which is not visible in the picture is C:\Program Files (x86)\Spring\unitsync.dll



Edit: Btw, when trying to launch a game the lobby also says that "The spring executable was not found at the set location, please re-check." I suppose this is related to the data directory aswell?

[SinbadEV]

I suspect it's the ä in the path... shouldn't be a problem but it's one of the few things that would make sense.

(Namely that the script.txt isn't getting created because the lobby isn't able to write to the correct directory)

[Zantza]

I tried installing it on the D drive so now the path is D:\Spring. So that's without ä's. I also tried messing with the preferences. Still the same window pops up.

Edit: I noticed in SL that in Tools>Open Spring DataDir it opens C:\Users\Käyttäjä\Documents\My Games\Spring. Then again in Help>System Info it says the data directory is LobbyWriteDir (C:\Users\Käyttäjä\AppData\Roaming\SpringLobby). I guess the question now is how do i change these two paths so that they match.

Edit2:Oh yea those two paths in the previous edit do contain ä's so that might be a problem also.

[smoth]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Spring\

there may be a permissions issue..

[Zantza]

It shouldn't be a permissions issue on the D drive as far as i know.

[abma]

does the current development version work for you?
http://springlobby.info/temp/builds/abma/sl_master.zip

what does it print in help->system info? (will show a bit more info)

as long as CurrentUsedDataDir is empty it can't work.

also 0.185 should have fixed most problems.

[Zantza]

With that dev version for some reason when trying to start a SP game it does nothing after pressing start.

[abma]

ok, tried myself, created the user "Käyttäjä", same result.

to workaround, just create a username without any special chars / spaces in it.

sorry, will take a bit until this is fixed.

[SinbadEV]

I'm curious, is it an issue with springlobby or spring itself?

Further... If it's spring, shouldn't it be possible to specify the engine run entirely from the D drive? (AKA Springsettings.cfg located next to spring.exe with a SpringData location on the same drive)

[Zantza]

I noticed yesterday that the game works perfectly when launching it straight with spring.exe. Also, the user name "Käyttäjä" problem is rather odd, since i think my previous computer had the same user name with the letters ä. But as the game has got updated i guess this has become a problem then.

Further... If it's spring, shouldn't it be possible to specify the engine run entirely from the D drive? (AKA Springsettings.cfg located next to spring.exe with a SpringData location on the same drive)

How would i do this?
