I have 284 mod files, and when i updated from 0.77b2 to 0.77b3 by installing in same folder as 77b2 were installed, i got error "no mods found, terminating" when i executed TASCLient, it found maps, but not mods.

Does it detect mods found or not by some file? it doenst even try to look in the mods folder?

Last time i install in same folder >_> i was just too lazy this time. usually i make it in new folder and move maps/mods -.-

EDIT: i installed it again on different folder, moved the map/mod folders there, and same error again. i cant play anymore

Edit2: why the fuck this is downloading XTA even when i didnt select any mods to be downloaded (just like always) O_O

Edit3: omfg, it downloaded BA and XTA even when i unchecked them, and now when i ran the TASClient again, it still says "no mods found" even i didnt move my mods folder there yet.

Edit4: i tried to run spring.exe and it says same shit, some bug in unitsync.dll ?

This is my infolog.txt

Check your unitsync.log and ArchiveCacheV7.lua files to see what data directories are used/scanned and which maps/mods are registered.

You can try to delete the ArchiveCacheV7.lua file to regenerate the list, though it should do it by itself...

You might have an old springcontent.sdz and/or bitmaps.sdz in the wrong place. Check your mods and maps folder for these files and delete them if they exist. If either of them did exist, then delete ArchiveCacheV7.lua and try to start lobby again.

edit: From that log, I am pretty sure you have an old springcontent.sdz someone overriding the 0.77b3 version.

Posted: **10 Oct 2008, 10:29**

nope i dont have springcontent.sdz and/or bitmaps.sdz in my mods or maps folder

WAIT, WTF:
Using read-write data directory: I:\Spring76b\
Using read-only data directory: I:\Spring77b3\

READ ONLY? WHERE THE HELL THAT CAME FROM

Edit: i made my folder NOT-read-only, but still same shit error

From that log, I am pretty sure you have an old springcontent.sdz someone overriding the 0.77b3 version.

how i can have, its fresh install to a fresh folder.
Edit: checked the springcontent file and they are identical as in the version which worked for me yesterday

edit: wait lol, its still making the changes in my folder, stupid windowless progress, 12 minutes left.... lmao.

That error is what happens when using an old springcontent.sdz, it looks like it is probably using the one from I:\Spring76b\base. Why the heck is it searching that path ? Anyways, try to rename I:\Spring76b and then upload new unitsync log.

Posted: **10 Oct 2008, 10:37**

why rename?

i have one mod and one map in that folder already, it should find the mod from there.

Edit: renamed that shit into other crap and now spring.exe RAN!!

would be nice if it told me what mods infologs its getting errors from

Did you install a SVN revision some time ago ?
There were some SVN revision of Spring that used to put the install directory into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SJ/spring/SpringData registry key. AFAIK this registry key should be set to "", otherwise it produces bugs like the one you currently have (check mantis issue #977 for more information).
So, try to find this registry key and set it to "".

Posted: **10 Oct 2008, 10:41**

I can say with 95% certainty that you are loading springcontent.sdz from 0.76. I asked you to rename that folder to prevent unitsync from searching it. I asked you to upload unitsync.log to verify it isnt searched after rename, since I have no idea why it searches both directories.

edit: bibim's post explains why it is probably being searched

Posted: **10 Oct 2008, 10:41**

omg yeah that registry key had the old path there =D

i indeed installed SVN, i think... but never used it, (forgot)

Edit: Cant we make the map loader (that thing which caches map stuff at first run) to support multicores? takes so fucking long. Or at least the minimap loader with multi threading?
