SILENT MOD NOOB ISSUES! Options

[{WeB}*DoG*]

Hey guys we have just started our silent server and are having a few problems, despite reading silent wiki and help forums have not been able to fix all problems anyone that can help i would be truly grateful as i am begining to lose the plot!!.... here is the post i made at our website...

Unfortunately default .cfg's dont help with specific issues. Right now silent is more glitchy than Ians laptop or brotzys PC.
The server, or at least the parts of the server that are working are sweet and very smooth I am also convinced that the issues we are having are nothing to do with server hosting but all to do with the silent mod itself.

I recall from our last attempt to run with silent some of these issues were problematic then as well.
Right now there are three major issues as i managed to rectify some of the earlier issues, they are as follows.

1. XPSAVE i have made the same settings as etpub but sadly the xp saves only from map to map if you dc and come back xp is safe but as soon as you restart server it is all gone!!!

2. BOTS, Lots of problms here! on etpub we had three bot commands !addbot !bot and !nobot i tried adding these commands into the shrubbot file and whilst they appear when you type !help sadly they do not work, then (see earlier thought) i was convinced there was a similar issue last time and if memory serves the commands were !addbot !!boton and !botoff despite several attempts these commands still dont work and on a server restart the bots are not on (usually we have 12) and then once added they dont leave when a human arrives.

3. SOUND/GREETING/USEREDIT.... this is a group issue which i presume relates to a deeper database issue. Let me explain, in etpub there was two files shrubbot.cfg and xpsave.cfg... the xpsave i think is self explainatory it just stores xp automatically the shrubbot file was more in depth and once opened the entries looked something like this

[admin]
name =
guid =
level =
flags =
greeting =
greeting_sound =

so what would happen once someone logged into the server in the shrubbot this would appear ill use mine as an example with an example guid

[admin]
name = ^1{WeB}^7*^4D^1O^4G^7*
guid = 11111111111111111111111x
level = 0
flags =
greeting =
greeting_sound =

[admin]
name = ^1{WeB}^7*^4D^1O^4G^7*
guid = 439857FC4F229481A63E0B0F39563A3A
level = 5
flags =
greeting = Salve Salve!! These are the happy happy days!!!
greeting_sound = sound/themes/doggie.wav


so i would then after the nights frag go into the file and change level set a greeting and add some music simple!
in silent the only way to do this is in game.... via the !useredit option now the first nite it was coisty g reap and myself and the other 3 songs worked fine but mine would not so we dleeted database and tried again this time mine worked and none of the others did then g had an idea after i noticed you could reove a intro,,, anyhow long story short three days later still cant get more than one intro to work... and am a bit stumped.

Whilst silent certainly looks good with regard to fps and smooth play our experience so far is administeratively its a fooking nightmare unless of course we are missing something either simple or obvious, anything or any light anyone can shed onto the isses please post here

set omnibot_enable 1

Your using OGP ? what have you got set in the "Extra Parameters" when you start the game ?
in ours we have +set fs_basepath "/home/harry/OGP_User_Files/test" +set fs_cdpath "/home/harry/OGP_User_Files/test" +set fs_homepath "silent"
and everything works fine.
To test if yours is reading the config from where it should, add a test message in the banner.cfg as soon as you join the server you should see the test message, if not its not reading the right config.

Yo man,

For XPsave, try set g_XPSave 21

And verify with rcon if the value is well setted after server restart.

Good luck DoG

EDIT: for bots, first verify if you don't use the same folder as your other server. You must have a 'omnibot' folder different for all servers

Thanks for the heads up guys I'll try these out over the next couple of days and report back

[$mart]

XPSAVE works like a charm on your silent server 148.251.46.49:28015
(but seems not be on the masterserver list, maybe because same servername as the etpub one ?)

[Boosted]

EDIT: for bots, first verify if you don't use the same folder as your other server. You must have a 'omnibot' folder different for all servers

Not true.
I run a silEnT and a Jaymod Server off the same OmniBot Folder without any Problems.

All our servers use the same omnibot folder with no trouble.

[$mart]

Yes ofc it works, but if you want différent bot settings, you are obliged to have distinct folders.

Yup got all that working should have reported back also got intro music working and spree sounds working in fact most issues now fixed. EXCEPT
custom vsays... I took our custom vsay with sounds from our etpub server but have been unable to get them working on silent! i managed to download a generic one that works but was wondering what it was that caused the etpub to not work in etpub... perhaps i just need to edit the generic one... just very time consuming but thanks for all the help previously!
