View Full Version : Libcod causing stuck on a few maps

Hi!

Starting the server with libcod is working fine for 90% of the maps, but there is a few maps at which it doesn't. The server does not crash these times, but the map loading icon freezes and only manual map change helps, or there is an iwd mismatch error.

mp_africaren: stuck
mp_cus: name mismatch error
mp_integrall: mismatch, invalid iwd files references
mp_mountaintown: invalid iwd files
mp_nightshift: stuck

Worked: at 35 maps I tested (so stucked or error at 5/35)

It does not matter if the sql version of libcod or the version without libcod is used. The servers were started with libcod, but without using any function from them. As soon the server is started normally then all maps working.

What can cause this? Thank you very much

Update: I am using extreme 3.0, I will also test this on basic cod.

Are you using proper MANYMAPS?

How many IWD files are in your fs_game + main folder?

Thank you for the answer.

I never heart of manymaps, i will search for it, i just put the plain libcod.

There are 40 maps on server, 35 was ok, 5 had problems (they are in map packs in the main folder). My client side main folders content counts other than this? The map was stuck for every player on map, until i changed manually (list of problematic maps above), so it was something server side. Server was not down, only stuck.

Thank you for the help, have a nice day.

Which libcod do you use (mine, some old precompiled .so, Vorons, Mitchs)?
