Re: [hlcoders] Dedicated server for mods broken by new steam update
I tracked down the animation problem. For some reason, even though the mod was created as a DM mod, it wasn't reading the animation mdl's from DM. Extracting them manually and copying them to the mod directory fixed that. This is very strange because the animations were only not working on dedicated servers, on listen servers they worked fine. The death notice thing I talked about earlier still sporadically happens. Sometimes (so far I've only seen it on dedicated servers) it just reports all the player deaths as a player named unconnected suiciding no matter who dies or who. I'm not sure what the cause of that is. On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 11:12:39 -0800, Alfred Reynolds [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't know about that problem sorry, haven't had any reports of it either.

RE: [hlcoders] Dedicated server for mods broken by new steam update
The death notice problem is caused by the modevents.res file being out of sync with the client, make sure both the client and server have the same version of the file (the new IGameEventManager2 interface doesn't have this limitation, the server communicates the event formats to the client on connect). - Alfred -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Flanagan Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 10:05 AM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Dedicated server for mods broken by new steam update I tracked down the animation problem.

Re: [hlcoders] Dedicated server for mods broken by new steam update
Looks like the Make a DM mod option in the SDK doesn't actually include a ModEvents.res file. I extracted the DM one and copied that over and that seems to work.
