ETPro 3 Server Install

Post by WeblionX »

<div><b>Installation</b><hr><ul><li><a name="Install">File installation:</a>
Note that the <tt>etpro</tt> directory should be in the same directory as <tt>etmain</tt>. <i>Do <b>NOT</b> extract the files to etmain</i>
<ul><li>Linux:
Unzip the server archive to <tt>enemy-territory/etpro/</tt>
<li>Windows:
Unzip the server archive to <tt>Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etpro</tt>
</ul><li><a name="ServerStart">Starting an ETPro server requires <tt>+set fs_game etpro</tt> to be appended to the end of the command line.</a><ul><li>Linux example:
<tt> ./etded +set fs_game etpro</tt>
<li>Windows:
<tt> et.exe +set fs_game etpro</tt>
<li>Windows Shortcut:
Right click on the shortcut for Enemy Territory and select "Properties." In the "Target" Box (Top text box) add <tt>+set fs_game etpro</tt> to the end, after the quotes.
<tt> "C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\et.exe" +set fs_game etpro</tt></ul></ul></div>
<div><b>Warnings</b><hr><ul><li><i><u>WARNING: Server improperly installed! Incorrect fs_game setting! Please notify administrator.</u></i>
<ul><li>Incorrect <tt>+set fs_game</tt> string. Make sure it is set to <tt>+set fs_game etpro</tt>.</ul>
<li><i><u>fs_game is write protected.</u></i>
<ul><li>You must <a href="#ServerStart">start your server</a> via the command line (Or by changing the shortcut) with the <tt>+set fs_game etpro</tt> command.</ul>
<li><i><u><a name="ServerCPK3">Client .pk3 missing!</a></u></i>
<ul><li>The PK3 file that is contained in the server install file is missing. Download the <a href="http://bani.anime.net/etpro/download.html">server install</a> again and place the PK3 file in the server's ETPro directory.</ul>
<li><i><u>Incorrect client .pk3 installed on server!</u></i>
<ul><li>The PK3 file mentioned <a href="#ServerCPK3">above</a> does not match the version of the server. Download the PK3 (And possibly updated server) from the <a href="http://bani.anime.net/etpro/download.html">download page</a>.</ul>
<li><i><u>Multiple client .pk3 versions installed on server!</u></i>
<ul><li>This means that the server has more than one ETPro client PK3. Remove the older versions from the server's ETPro directory.
<li>This can also happen from having fs_game set twice in your shortcut or config.</ul>
<li><i><u>Incorrect ET version!</u></i>
<ul><li>This happens when you are attempting to install ETPro on a non-patched ET server. Download the <a href="http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein">patch</a> and try again.</ul>
<li><i><u>Cvar dedicated is 0! Some features will break!</u></i>
<ul><li>ETPro is meant to be installed on a dedicated server. Set the server to dedicated by using <tt>+set dedicated 2</tt> in the command-line used to start the server.</ul>
<li><i><u>etpro_cheats.dat is corrupt or missing!</u></i>
<ul><li>The ETPro database file for positively identifying cheats has either been corrupted or does not exist on the server. Download a recent version of <a href="http://etpro.anime.net/etpro_cheats.dat">the database</a>.</ul>
</ul></div>
<b>Other Errors</b><hr><div><ul><li><i><u>Server sends users the ETPro PK3 file over and over.</u></i>
<ul><li>If you are using download redirects, make sure that the download path is set correctly if changed between versions.
eg: If the old PK3 was in <tt>server/etpro2</tt> and the new version is in <tt>server/etpro3</tt> and the redirect path in the server configuration was not changed, it would send the old ETPro 2.x files; which not being what the server is using, it would cause the download to start again.<li>If you are redirecting to an http or ftp server, make sure the pk3 on the http/ftp server exactly matches the pk3 on the game server.<li>Some http servers may incorrectly try to send pk3 files as text/plain, which will corrupt downloads. Make sure they are sent as application/octet-stream</ul></ul><ul><li><i><u>*WARNING*: PunkBuster Reports PB Server Running Old Version Cx.xxx</u></i><ul><li>Run <tt>\Wolfenstein - Enemy territory\pb\pbweb.exe</tt></ul></ul>

_might_ pay to write a different set of instructions for server operators as for players ( who only use it like a server when playing demos )?

For example, people running current etpro servers should first either rename or delete their existing 'etpro' directory. Otherwise there's a good chance they'll leave older etpro pk3's in there.

Also, the default install path for ET on a Windows system is:
"C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory"

But that looks pretty good :)

Er, yah, thinking about how I have a Games\ directory. :x I suppose I could split it up. If I get the time tonight I'll try to split it, if not then probably tomorrow.

and i put this in the command line

set fs_game etpro +set dedicated 2 +set com_hunkmegs 64 +pb_sv_sspath "pb/svss" +exec server.cfg " is what you put in the command line

And it gives me this

]set fs_game etpro +set dedicated 2 +set com_hunkmegs 64 +pb_sv_sspath "pb/svss" +exec server.cfg " is what you put in the command line
fs_game is write protected.

and it keeps repeating- WARNING: Server improperly installed! Incorrect fs_game setting! Please notify administrator.

You have to make a new directory called etpro and put all the files from the etpro-zip in there.

Sorry, but there are no such commands.

btw:
I closed this thread, because the documentationforum is more for reading than posting questions. please post further questions in the etpro serveradmin forum
