Upgraded to linux

[PabloP]

OK this seems to be a weird one. I had NFO switch my server to a new machine running linux. When i 1st loaded gungame first problem i noticed was people getting a multi level bonus after 1 kill. So i looked in the cfg file, which was totally scrambled (as in notepad had the whole thing on like 2 lines, had to use notepad++) what i saw was something out of a horror movie where all my files in the cfg folder were like triplicated and default. As in normal file was this:
1
2
This is wat i saw:
1
2
1
2
1
2
So i just loaded a backup i had from a few days ago and reloaded gungame. Everything ran fine and normal for about 4 maps and then gungame didnt load. when i loaded it it was back like it was above^^
So i loaded the backup again but now it isn't running normally like instead of what it normally says in chat, it'll say "RespawningPlayer" and "RoundInfo" "RespawnWhenAttackerDies" and stuff like that.
Know what happened?
Also just noticed, besides a lot of the cfg being weird you can pick up and throw down your weapons. And this is Elimination.
So a restart seemed to fix it and ill do more testing when i wake up but id bet im not in the clear eh.

Heres a log file and a gungame log file.

It sounds like their tool for transfering you to linux scrambled a few files. I suggest deleting ../addons/eventscripts/gungame51/ and ../cfg/gungame51, then following the installation intsructions unti you get to the step that says:

Edit the newly appeared configuration files in ../cfg/gungame51/ to your likings

At this point, upload your cfg file backups, if they appear to be normal / intact.

lol thats what i told them but i dont think they believe me ha

[PabloP]

Well I'm not sire if this is related or not but earlier it just stopped being elimination and became normal gungame. I just set gg_elimination 0 and then 1 which worked. Server had been running a few hours.
I think it happened on the map change all at once. Below it would happen gradually.

Anyway thought i would post i had a similar problem on the old gungame where when i had warmup rounds set to deathmatch and normal play set to elimination after about 8-12 hours it would "degrade" into a deathmatch server. Which i fixed by making warmup rounds elimintaion also. My warmup rounds above were just normal, no DM or ELIM. So idk if its related or not. Never had this happen before though.
I think i'll put my warmup rounds on deathmatch since thats how i would prefer it ive just been a little nervous since that was happening.

[Warren]

Let us know if you see it happen again. It's odd that it would randomly change after some time. Do you remember anything out of the ordinary happening, for example:

• Manually changing maps after a win
• Changing maps during another warmup round
• The round ending without a win

Also, are there any errors in your ../cfg/gungame51/logs/ directory for the revision you were testing on?

[PabloP]

Well i changed map through rcon immediately after it changed. before any warmup round started. I did see in the map switch log that it said
gg_elimination "1" . Didn't see anything else unusual didn't even notice it wasn't ELIM until someone pointed it out after a few minutes. I did have my first gg error log since 4/05(damn that's good) earlier in the day. Its attached.

I think it was earlier in the day, unless it has a different time then normal logs. but idk.

[PabloP]

OK ive included the 5 logs involved. im pretty sure. sorry for the fluff had log detail 3 on and statsme and hadnt updated some stuff to linux version.

[PabloP]

i did notice ROUND START. but you guys are the experts. heres last 2.

[Warren]

I reproduced the issue by changing maps before warmup started. It should be resolved in r423.

[PabloP]

Well back to post #1. This happened again. Im posting here because this only happened to my /cfg/gungame51 folder. this time no one had any guns it seems to randomize the config.. like it enabled gg_knives_only 1 maybe. even though in the cfg it was 0 3 times lol. or it could have been something else but yeah its really weird idk wat to do..

[Warren]

For anyone following this, I have been talking to PabloP privately about this issue. It is likely due to some corruption of his files, causing cfglib issues, and the proper course of action would be to delete GunGame5.1 completely, then re-install it.

[PabloP]

So this may actually be a bug. maybe i should have this in knives_only thread but oh well. I heard yesterday from someone when i won a game during a knives round that that might make it knives only next map. that didnt happen, but today i did a vote for knives_only_next_round. the vote succeeded but i won the game before the next round started. so we got to the next map and were running around with knives for a bit. didnt seem to be normal warmup length.then it said gg_knives_only 0 . and game started but cfg files were screwed again. so i backed up wins, replaced cfg with a backup, and restarted server. But it was knives only and it wasnt gungame, which a reload of gungame seems to have fixed.
