DCF help plz

Post by Dragonlizard »

Ok so I made a DCF patch using ur tutorials , then I tested it like your testing tutorials said , and everything worked they way I modded it too .But, as soon as I gave my map patch to the server owner and he installed it , none of the mods showed up when he ran the map , why will it work on a dedicated and not a paid server ?

Extra info : i modded the map DCf El_Alamien and after I removed all the extra stuff , leaving only object spawn templates ,objects spawns , and Init.con(or i don't remember) , I saved it and named it El_Alamien_001. Is that the right way to name it ? Iv heard ppl who won't name their patches under _555 or something .

Hi
Naming is not a problem as long as you don't collide with another file name (i.e. the server already has a _001 patch.)
If the server is running Linux, you must rename the file to lowercase, in this case it would be "el_alamein_001.rfa" instead of "El_Alamein_001.rfa".
Object spawns and object spawn templates should be OK, don't know about init.con - I usually do server side without it.
It also depends on the kind of scripting you do - always use ObjectTemplate.active, never ObjectTemplate.create.
Place your edits only in ObjectSpawnTemplates.con, not in ObjectSpawns.con.
Move your patch out of your levels directory on your pc before joining any server.
Hope this helps.

Well like I said , it's on the server ... But none of the mods are running , just the original map. Iv tested the map on multiple dedicated servers with NO issue , all the mods worked like they were supposed to .

Oh And I used the Init.con for changing the soldier kits

In that case it looks like a server issue. Here's some more shots:
The server has to be restarted after uploading the patch.
The patch has to be readable by the server (file permissions.)
The server must have content check disabled.
Is this a windows or a linux server? Was the file put in the right directory?

Welcome to the site, Dragonlizard.

Can you ask your server owner to either sign up here or perhaps get you some answers to the above?

If you can get your server owner here, as Fookie said, you can get the help you need.
