Warcraft 3 MODs

and take my kid to school and pick her up if i'm too drunk or drugged.

If there's sufficient interest I'm happy to code something that will convert player info and races from vault to the new mysql tables. If someone who is familiar with sqlite wants they can modify that for their system.

In the beta forums I've posted some SQL queries which migrate most data from ...

Please point me in the general direction of that 1GB wc3 or hlds config file.

Do yourself a favour, and install notepad++ -- it's free, tabbed, and has syntax highlighting. XP doesn't "see" .cfg files as config files either, you need to associate it with a program before double-clicking them opens ...

The guys and girls on my servers disagree. There are one or two semi-major exploits in the beta (not the RC) that either are, or shortly will be, resolved. But my users definitely prefer to put up with the small inconveniences in order to play the new version.

Each to their own. I think Geesu and ...

Yea, missing sprites, sounds, etc, will stuff up hlds pretty hard. Odd how it doesn't seem anywhere near as picky about missing textures, but... w/e.

Since Windows Vista doesnt support .cfg's WHATTTTTTTTTT ????? !?!?!?!?!?!

TBH, that wasn't spam. I find it bizarre that you would randomly rename all the files in a plugin, and a mod, and expect it to just 'work'. Then, post a bug report about it?!?!?!!

What do you mean Vista doesn't support ...

I define yelling on a forum as posting in bold and/or using excesive caps.

I MEAN that THIS FEATURE DONT WORKS!
That sure seems like yelling to me....


Fair enough. But can you see how he did that out of frustration, rather than anger? It wasn't yelling at you it was just a 'Gah!' reaction. He ...

He's not yelling. Seriously. It's just broken English. I get this all the time on my servers. Sorry if it sounds like I'm spamming this subject, it's just that I think there are some interesting bugs his players may have found that the rest of us haven't. The language barrier is a pain, but at least ...

- Only 1 HE Buy at Round Start (want works)
-> You mean you WANT the 1 HE per player to work? That it should work but doesn't?
This is a feature. Look in the war3FT.cfg file about it

No, he means it is a rule that is enforced inconsistently.



- Moles still cant buy Weapons
-> I think again ...

I re-read the above, and your server forums are in German, right? I have a Russian admin who may be able to translate the originals better (he's pretty crazy, in a good way, but that's Russians for you).

What the developers are trying to tell you is that either what you're asking for is not a bug ...

Are you using a MySQL database? If so, try optimizing the database table:

OPTIMIZE TABLE war3users;

Change 'war3users' to whatever your table is called. 25+ players is a lot, and this isn't a small plugin. Try reducing your server load by removing unnecessary plugins, etc. Also check that you're ...

No, sorry, he means that on his server spectators gain XP simply by following a player who is in game. i.e., switch to spec at spawn, follow someone who is killing people, then rejoin later on, and you get the assist XP for all the kills that you specced.

I'm not saying whether he's right or not ...

By 'godmode' he means spawn protection, and what he's trying to say about XP is that there is some way to get XP assist points while you're a spectator.

Like I said: it does not do that for a vanilla cs 1.6 install. However the speed difference is minimal between that and a wc3 server. w/e...

To be fair, I just tried it out on a vanilla server and a wc3ft 3.0 rc6 b4 server. In both cases I started from spectator and a fresh map change. It was *marginally* faster on wc3ft 3.0. Really nothing much to complain about, and barely effects gameplay, if at all.

IMO: buggy map ^ 5. Nothing much ...

It crashes without the slight speed increase. It's not that much faster, so I don't really think that's the root of the problem.

I'm no mapper, so I can't really say if these details can be fixed by a plugin or not. Short version is: if a player is in one of several places when the round starts, then the server crashes. Yes, I know people at spawn get slain. I don't really want to go into any more detail publicly. There are ...

Many people have a love-hate relationship with that map. Most server operators hate it, most punters love it. I fall in both categories. It's buggy as all hell, and there are at least four known exploits which will reliably crash your server HARD. No, I'm not posting them on a public forum ...

Try this:

Disable metamod in your liblist.gam and try again. If it still happens, then from your hlds directory type:

./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir ./ -verify_all

I think you're using some ancient version of metamod, or have some other very serious version conflict. What else have you done ...

Try this version of metamod:

http://metamod-p.sourceforge.net/

And make sure you're *not* using the 64bit binary version of hlds when you start the server. I'm unfamiliar with hlds on windows, but on linux you have to add:

-binary ./hlds_amd

to the command line when you launch the dedicated ...

Fair enough too. Since they have teleport anyway it hardly seems an issue. Just thought I should mention it.

Cheers & thanks,
Anders

Hi guys,

One of my users reported finding this in the early hours of the morning while waiting for people to join:

Does this count as an exploit for humans?
What you do is go to a crate or ledge thats just a little 2 tall to jump on look up at the sky or someplace where you can't tele and get the ...

Wait a bit longer, I'm testing it. You know how's my drill, I have to make sure before saying it's this, or that.

It takes a while testing with SQLite and 3 MySQL server versions.

Cheers,

If you like I can give you ssh access to a server with MySQL 4.0.x and WC3FT on it.

You're welcome! Now -- the actual code for creating the db table in the plugin is fine. It looks like this:

format (mquery, 511, "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `%s` ( `playerid` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL, `playername` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL, `xp` INT(11) NOT NULL, `race` TINYINT(4) NOT NULL, `skill1 ...

Hello, anders_dog:
Thank you for your interest and feedback.

You're welcome! It only takes a moment to give feedback, but I know how much I appreciate it on my jobs, whether it's good or bad news.

I'll suggest that you try your SQL statement, play with a friend for a while and then inspect the ...

Hi there,

The MySQL create table SQL is incorrect. It looks like it's designed for SQLite.

CREATE TABLE `war3users` (`playerid` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `playername` VARCHAR(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `xp` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `race` TINYINT(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `skill1 ...
