Hi !

I can't get Metamod Source working with vdf on my win server running Left 4 Dead: metamod is not loaded. When I switch to gameinfo, the server loads fine metamod ...

I'm using Metamod Source 1.7 and this is my tree directory :



What could be the problem ?

I'm running into another problem too with Sourcemod but this is not the right forum I think (can't find "default" database whereas databases.cfg is stock ...)

Thanks !

PS : i'm currently writting my first plugin and it's a simple zombies killed counter for L4D (with total zombies killed stored for each players in mysql) :-D.

That's very strange. Try getting a new VDF here.

Re the SourceMod issue: It's looking for a entry in databases.cfg that doesn't exist. Try adding a default database and point it at SQLite.

Please revert gameinfo.txt and try:

plugin_load "..\left4dead\addons\metamod\bin\server.d ll"

in your console

Thanks for the replies.

I found the problem : I was lunching srcds without the +map parameter meaning metamod and sourcemod were not loaded until a changemap occurs. Too bad, I didn't read correctly the error message on the console ... Sorry.

Concerning the database, the problem disapears when the vdf solution worked ... FYI, it was the original databases.cfg coming from the zip file with only one line modified :

    "default"
    {
        "driver"            "default" => "driver"            "mysql"
        "host"                "localhost"
        "database"            "sourcemod"
        "user"                "root"
        "pass"                ""
        //"timeout"            "0"
        //"port"            "0"
    }

Between, Sourcemod does not work (crash, extensions not loading) when we use the new fork (>2) command. It complains about a lock when it try to update gamedata. Some reminder for the fork command :

The Linux dedicated server is now capable of running multiple server instances as sub-processes off of one parent process. This provides a memory savings (through sharing of read-only data), a speedup when starting multiple servers, and also enhances server stability by having the servers restart as new sub-processes after each game is completed. This is controlled by the "-fork n" option. For instance, you can run "srcds_run -fork 5" to start up 5 separate server instances in this mode.

I believe this is the bug https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3430

Yup, that's the bug.

It should not be crashing though.

Nice idea. May I suggest adding an option for where it saves it to a database right on the server (sqlite I think is what its called).

I may add this later. As for now, I'm thinking about adding more stats (currently zombies killed) : tanks, hunters kills, ... The plugin is running on my server : 87.98.154.187:27015 (public). Two commands availaibles at the moment : !ztotal (total zombies killed on the server) and !zcount (total zombies killed by the player). Bot kills are not counted.
