Lord Sokar Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I'm not sure freezing is the right word, but after 3 or 4 players listed, it just ends at a prompt. It makes it a little difficult to kick clients if their names don't work. Any help is greately appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinHoMi Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I have the same problem... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 Mine is pretty consistant, it shows only 3 or 4 and that's it. Never has it given me a good list. It sucks to tell someone you're going to kick them only to not be able to. If you have any luck figuring this out, please come back here and let me know how you fixed it. This really is a problem. Anyone else got a suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerys Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Its got to do with their names. Use your dedicated server console to kick people, you'll always get the full list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 ^ Right now, the console isn't an option for me. Here is what I get with 'rcon status' right now: map: ffa_bespin num score ping name lastmsg address qport rate --- ----- ---- --------------- ------- --------------------- ----- ----- 0 3 181 Player1 0 62.31.213.114:28070 12926 4000 1 34 51 Player2 0 68.49.27.61:28070 59588 25000 2 22 80 Player3 50 68.45.127.73:28070 64037 4000 3 0 93 Player4 0 65.35.126.239:28070 As you can see, although there are 12 players on the server, the status abruptley ends after 3 1/2.

MatrixCPA Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 You're using v1.02 aren't you? Upgrade to 1.03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 ^ Uh, no. That isn't going to happen. But thanks for the input. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixCPA Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Well, I'm just letting you know that they fixed that problem in v1.03. If you want to stick with v1.02--then you're stuck with the problem. Now, if I remember correctly, the server console status command was broken in v1.02c (windows). So, if you downgrade to 1.02b (windows) you can at least get around that. However, the rcon status command didn't get fixed until 1.03. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerys Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 The problem still exists in 1.03 and is caused (as I said) by the ANSI color coding in some people's names. You will get only so many lines of the STATUS command and then it will stop. If you kick the person in the last line you see, I bet the problem goes away...

MatrixCPA Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 It was always my understanding that the original problem was due to a buffer limitation that goes back to Q3. If you figure out a particular combination of color codes that causes the problem, I could enable my admin bot to auto-kick those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 This problem does not happen some of the time, or stop only when it haves a problem with certain names. It stops everytime, and in the same place EVERYTIME. Without fail. I understand the whole 1.03 thing, but at the same time, I have no desire to start a server for a game that I do not enjoy. I'm doing this because I love 1.02 and want to keep playing it. If we're lucky, there won't be any more patches and 1.02 will live a long, long time. Nonetheless, I'm putting my money where my mouth is and keeping this thing going the way it was meant to be. But I have taken into consideration an earlier version (was there an A and a B version of 1.02?). Also, if you know anywhere that I can download these versions, I would be greatful.

MatrixCPA Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Linux or winblows? I saved copies of the linux versions for my own personal archive. You never know when you might need to "downgrade". Oh, just to let you know, Aerys. The rcon status command works perferctly every time on my 1.03a server. So, it there's some combination of ansi colors that's the cause, I'm the luckiest admin around because nobody on my server ever uses them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 MatrixCPA, Both versions, actually. I have a duel on Win32 and two on Linux. My email is courtney@housequake.net if you want to email. If not, I have an FTP server that I believe is set up for write permissions (I'll have to check), you can email me for the address. I appreciate your help. Oh and just to let you know, I set up a new server last night with 1.02c and got the same thing, ONLY WORSE! Yeah, it bites. Thanks for your help.
