ASSS Questions - Having an issue Anonymous - Sun Jan 18, 2009 4:50 am Post subject: Having an issue
Well, outside of still not being able to get the turf reward to work properly.
It seems like editing arena.conf is not updating my setting, even after I recycle.
I have all the proper mods listed in modules.conf as well.
For Example; I added a new <py> mod underneath pymod:pymod in modules.conf and I still have to ?insmod after every recycle.
I tried editing the Attached Modules in arena.conf and they wont change either.
Any help would be appreciated, I have been spending countless hours trying to get shit to work, and it doesn't... Dr Brain - Sun Jan 18, 2009 8:47 am Post subject:
What does asss.log say from a fresh start? If it doesn't load the module, it should fail rather than continue.

look at the buttom of arena.conf. quickfixes will override any settings at the top of arena.conf.
oh, and you have to restart the server for modules to be loaded. recycling doesn't do that. if you don't have access to restart the server, there is a parameter for ?recycle that will restart it.

This is what I don't understand...
If I edit in-game, the settings take affect. If I use FTP and get the file, then edit it, then uploaded it to the server, everything I did gets ignored, like I never changed anything.

yeh it's because of the position of the settings. when asss reads .conf files it reads from top to bottom. so if you have map=a.lvl at the top and then map=b.lvl at the bottom in a ?quickfix, when you enter that arena, it will be map b.lvl. hope this helps.

Thanks, but it doesn't.
I made sure that when I did it, I added to to bottom of the file, and even went through and removed ones above it.

Settings don't immediately reload from the file. Either use ?reloadconf arenaname or do a hard restart.
More likely, the includes aren't working the way you think they are. Are you editing arena.conf, or a file included from arena.conf?

I have been editing arena.conf I after that has failed so many times, I also edit the #include files, flags / balls.conf and server.cfg.
I am missing files in arena.conf and they don't update when I manually add them. And the updates always take affect when I edit using esc + c in-game.

are you in the right arena (folder)? any typos? what are you editing exactly?

I think I got it worked out for the most part.
Although it sucks because my plugin for turf doesn't work in AS3, everytime it comes down to the end of the turf game, and the bot is supposed to reward the winning team with jackpot points, it crashes.
So I went ahead and just started making a flagging based game, but I may switch to CTF soon.
Thanks for the help.

Take the time to learn gdb (or your Windows IDE's debugger). You'll never regret it. There should be plenty of tutorials and introductions online.
