Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 4:15 am Post subject: Problems with asss on win 98? |
|
|
|
|
I recently dragged my old subgame server out of the closet and hooked it up. I sent a copy of my dev asss zone to it and can't get it to run from that system. It worked (still runs) fine on my XP pro system but I get "Bad command or filename" when I run the bat file on win 98. Is there anything I need to download to fix this or do I need to upgrade the os? If I need to upgrade will win 2k be enough to run it?

It should work on win98. Open the .bat file in wordpad and save it to convert the unix line endings to windows line endings.

I just tried that and it didn't work... I put a new copy of asss on there and it didn't give that error but had a couple module errors... imma see if i can't fix that now
Edit* This is what the asss window says
asss 1.1.8pre built at Apr 27 2004 17:06:50
Loading Modules...
I <cmod> loading C module 'deadlock' from 'internal'
E <cmod> error in GetProcAddress: The specified procedure could not be found.
Unrecoverable error (5) : Error in loading module 'deadlock'
Press any key to continue . . . |
Edit 2* I tried to disable that module then it gives me another module error. Going to try setting up a fresh server and see how that goes.
Edit 3* Ok that failed... currently this is what it is showing
asss 1.1.8pre built at Apr 27 2004 17:06:50
Loading Modules...
I <cmod> loading C module 'prng' from 'internal '
I <cmod> loading C module 'logman ' from 'internal '
Unrecoverable error (5) : Error in loading module 'scoring:presist'
Press any key to continue . . . |

I'm not sure what you meant by 'sent a copy' but you should at least get the latest version (which currently is 1.4.2) from http://sscx.net/asss.
Make sure to get the full windows version and to unpack it preserving path names.

Open up the .bat file, and type it in manually into a command window (After cd'ing to the right spot). See what command is giving you trouble. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

ok I guess I did this right. I went into run and typed command. In the command window I changed the directory to the server and then typed asss.bat and it says bad command or file name

ok i'm getting confused... sorry but what I see on the screen is giberish to me...
Open asss.bat in notepad - ok understood that
Type those commands in - This is where im lost... what commands? Also where do I type them in at?
It just seems to me that its got to be something with win 98 seeing that the exact copy of the asss server works on my XP Pro system. Is there a possible missing file or program needed to run it?

I think what he's trying to say is type 'bin\asss.exe' into the command prompt.
My first thought was you didn't have the complete distro or correct directory layout, since it can't find a file it needs (such as one of the .dll's containing the modules).
Alternatively you could try a version between 118pre and 142.
And if it is missing a system .dll such as msvcr71.dll it usually pops up a message dialog.

Ok, I think I know your problem.
Open asss.bat in WORDPAD. Then hit the save button.
Try it again.

By try it again I mean running the server.
I think his issue is Windows 98 doesn't like unix linebreaks in its batch files.

If your asss.bat makes no sense, then something is wrong.

I still thinks its something with win 98... perhaps a missing file or something... I install perl to see if that fixed it and it didn't... not sure whatelse to try

Do the following in a command prompt:
cd C:\place\where\you\put\the\asss\folder
bin\asss.exe
See if that works. If it does, copy and paste (don't attach) the contents of your asss.bat.

No, you're just loading it from the wrong directory. You need to be in C:\asss and then run asss.bat. _________________ This help is informational only.

Gah, cyan. You need to read the original topic.
Cd C:\asss
bin\asss
(LIKE I SAID)
When that works perfectly, maybe you'll start believing me that it's an issue with your unix linebreaks?
If I'm a little ansy, it's because I gave you the correct solution 10 posts ago.

Like I said... if I type asss.bat while command is in C:\asss\ I get Bad command or file name
If I do it like Dr said then I get Can't open file 'conf/modules.conf' for reading
Open and save asss.bat with win 98 does no good either... So if the comment about unix headers or whatever is right, then why doesn't it fix it when I save it with windows?

I really hope you mean 'opened it with wordpad' not opened with windows...
Did you follow the error's advice? Check to see if a conf/modules.conf files exists and say so here. You might use past knowledge learned and re-save it in wordpad (although that shouldn't matter for this particular file).
"Unrecoverable error (5): Error in modules.conf: Can't open file 'conf/modules.conf' for reading" Can occur when you are executing asss.exe from within the bin directory.

Yes I opened asss.bat with wordpad and saved it, also tried that with modules.conf... both failed
whether I double click asss.bat or use command prompt to open it it always says bad command or file name... Only time I get the error about modules.conf is if I cd to bin and type asss. All files are in there so its not a missing file.
Guess i'll just save a little cash and get a 128 pc100 chip and upgrade to either xp pro or server 2003 since it works fine on xp.
