<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This problem is occuring on both Windows and Linux.
We have setup all our servers to run from a base folder on each machine.
When connecting to a game server setup this way the client doesn't download
the mod.ff at all (windows and linux). However if we install the mod files in
the base folder then the client will download the mod.ff file. The main
issue here is that our customers may install different mods at anytime and some
mods have numerous versions, therefore it is impossible for us to maintain
all these different mods and their different versions from the main base
folder. <FONT face=Arial size=2>All the main/zone/exe/dll files are located in
the base folder "/home/servers/COD4-1.3".</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our command line looks something like this:
</FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>+set fs_homepath
/home/servers/ADMIN/COD4 +set fs_userpath /home/servers/ADMIN/COD4 +set
fs_savepath /home/servers/ADMIN/COD4 +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game "mods/damn"
+set sv_punkbuster "1" +set net_ip 123.123.123.123 +set net_port 28960 +set
sv_maxclients 32 +set ui_maxclients 32 +exec damn.cfg
+map_rotate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2><FONT color=#000000>Current search
paths show the server searching in the base folder mods
folder:</FONT><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>/home/servers/ADMIN/COD4/mods/damn/z_svr_modwarfare.iwd (182
files)<BR>/home/servers/ADMIN/COD4/mods/damn<BR>/home/servers/COD4-1.3/mods/damn<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2>So the questions are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080 size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#000080
size=2> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Is there another path setting that we
are forgetting in the command line?</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Is this how mods are suppose to work when
using a base install for multiple servers?</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you very much for any information you can
provide.</FONT></DIV>
