cod2 libcod problems

[Moolster]

Hi im totally new to linux but got a cod2 server up and running just wondering how i get libcod going? ive tried placing all libcod files into my server directory and running the commands but receiving no such file or directory error.

Any help would be great

You have tried what the readme file says?

https://github.com/kungfooman/libcod...ster/README.md

Also the newest libcod version doesn't require any std GSC files. The function that libcod provided are now real function.
You can find these functions with documentation at: http://znation.nl/cod4script/

Edit: you can post the little that your log says and your startup line?

Thanks for getting back, My startup line is

LD_PRELOAD=libcod2_1_3_nomysql.so ./cod2_lnxded +set dedicated 2 +set g_gametype tdm + exec server.cfg

These 2 images showing what im getting and also what is in my main server folder.

For some reason it can't preload the .so.

Are you using this one?
http://killtube.org/downloads/libcod...1_3_nomysql.so

If you are using that version or it also didn't work then you might need to recompile the .so for Linux Mint.
(edit confg.hpp to disable mysql)

Edit: to run libcod you don't need the source files (.hpp, .cpp). You only need the .so. Your current startup line requires the .so to be in the same directory as your linux binary.
Also linux cod2 doesn't need the cod.bmp or any dll.

I have just tried with that .so and no source files in my main with the same error. Sorry to sound stupid but where is the binary located for me to put the .so into?

[Mitch]

I just recompiled libcod. Try these one:
http://znation.nl/libcod/libcod2_1_3_nomysql.so

And if that doesn't work try this as start up line:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. LD_PRELOAD=libcod2_1_3_nomysql.so ./cod2_lnxded +set fs_game ...

Thank you so much libcod is now loading great but theres one issue no one can seem to connect to my server just sitting on connection 1,2,3 etc. If i use localhost i can connect but my external ip doesnt allow connections, i have port forward all the ports requires so not sure what is going on. Again thank you so much for getting libcod sorted , Hopefully we can get the server fully online

[kung foo man]

Nobody can connect because you are running libcod now or is it an independent problem? You might just need to configure UDP-Port-Forwarding in your router, e.g. at http://192.168.0.1

Thank you both for the great advice now got a fully working codlib server . Time to mod and have some fun.

Edit: Sorry to bug you both but how would i go about using the scripts e.g. Disable collision?

You can disable global collision by adding

disableGlobalPlayerCollision();

right after

Callback_StartGameType()
{

in your gametype.gsc file.
