sinoth Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 What did I do to deserve this... I like to download things. I have over 350 models/skins/maps. My /base directory is very full. Others like this because they get to use all their cool little models and skins. Others CAN join my server and play normally. I, however, CAN'T. When I try to join, my game freezes for a second, then drops out saying the server disconnected me. Looking at the server error messages, it says I was dropped because of an invalid .pk3 file! Now, you get dropped for an invalid .pk3 file when you have something the server doesn't, correct? I AM THE SERVER!!! I GET DROPPED!!! AAGHH Please help
Lightsaberboy Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 if it's dedicated..then you cant play on it from the same computer. Server stuff is so confusing for me...
sinoth Posted July 13, 2002 Author Posted July 13, 2002 Actually, thats a point I forgot to make.. before I added a whole lot of skins/models/maps, I could join my own dedicated server just fine. It is possible. In fact, I temporarily removed all my extra stuff, and it was fine again.. Soooo... I'm guessing the problem lies with one of my skins/models/maps, but how would I go about figuring out which one? Out of 350? Ugh.. And WHY, exactly, would a skin/model/map mess up my relationship with the server? Technically, if I have a file in my base directory.. my server is using it.. and my client is using it too. I've never had problems like this before. Can anyone shove me in the right direction?
seether7 Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 yeah.. the easiest way to solve this would be to make your server not pure. seta sv_pure 0 Or.. you could always see what pk3 file its complaining about and delete it, but then u might find there'll still be others it'll complain about and it could end up takin heaps of ur time.
sinoth Posted July 14, 2002 Author Posted July 14, 2002 Others have suggested making it an unpure server.. but isn't that a bad thing? I mean, can't people cheat and do whatever if its not pure?
sinoth Posted July 14, 2002 Author Posted July 14, 2002 This truly is making no sense because I can join others pure servers just fine.. I joined my friends server who does -not- have any mods activated, and I was fine. Yet I can't join my own server which also has no mods activated. *sigh*
MatrixCPA Posted July 14, 2002 Posted July 14, 2002 If it's just a matter of figuring out which one of the files is a problem, you could remove half and check. Each time, take half of the files that could contain the bad one and test. Give it few hours, and you might find it.
sinoth Posted July 14, 2002 Author Posted July 14, 2002 God, thats what I've been doing.. its not fun.. DARN YOU SKIN/MODEL/MAP MAKERS! Don't put mods in a skin, its confusing for ded server peeps :-(
