<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it was done in the mapcycle file now</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AFAIK there were no new commands just a mapcycle

<BR><FONT size=2>> Subject: [bf1942] +overlayPath not working and other
issues?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>> </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> Doesn't seem
like the overlayPath is working in the current version</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> of the linux server ( bfv_linded-v1.0-20040312.2254 )</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> Starting with +overlayPath ends in random
settings.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>possibly i don't understand what the overlay path is for, but
i thought that the config information had to be there already. if there isn't
stuff there it should fall back and use the settings from the mod path. your
traces show the failure mode of lacking existing config info.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>is this not the case?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>> without using +overlayPath I get:</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> linux_access("mods/BFVIETNAM/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0)
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> ERR#2 'No such file or directory'</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>>
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/ServerSettings.con",0)</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> ERR#2 'No such file or directory'</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>>
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0)</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> = 0 (0x0)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
linux_open("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0x0,</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>> 0600) = 28 (0x1c)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2><sigh> another internal bit i meant to gank. it was
useful when testing directly off of files i pulled off of the windows file
server. the failed accesses (and stats are fine)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>> Also noted that is using the old map format. Are we
expecting </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> a version thats</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>> synced with 1.6? I ask as this has vital fixes for the win32
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> servers to support</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
multiple servers and remove the GFX dependencies.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>huh? i don't think that the two points are related. the
windows server should look exactly the same as the linux server (i used
andreas's status monitor).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>anyway, since i can't sleep ive done most of the 1.6 maplist
format stuff, but have a question about using it. are there new commands?
someone on this list keeps saying mapcycle, but greps didn't show anything
interesting.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>> Finally whats BFVIETNAM.pid? There seems to be only one
and </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>> this would cause</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>>
issues in a multi server env unless this was also stored </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>> under +overlayPath</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>i don't know what this is for. the windows client does it so i
just do it too. i guess sticking this in the overlay path is the right thing?
someone mentioned using scripts/tools for monitoring (it sure as hell doesn't
check for multiple instances)</FONT></P>
