but should my demo be in .etwolf/etpcl/demos or in ettv/etpcl/demos ?

Perhaps some1 could share his startscript with me?
You need to tell us what you are tyring to do before we can help you. What you described:
I start Master server
I start Slave server

I connect to Slave server
I enter rconpassword
/rcon demo demo0000
deosn't make sense.

Code: Select all

./ettv.x86 +set vm_game 0 +set net_ip 83.170.72.156 +set net_port 27980 +set fs_basepath /home/flames/ettv/ +set fs_homepath /home/flames/ettv/ +set fs_game etpcl +set sv_punkbuster 0 +exec ettv.cfg +demo demo0000
In ettv.cfg there are all kinds of settings like servername, passwords...

This is how I try to start it

Shouldn't this be etpub?
Our servers now run on 64 bit steroids. Point your ET to:
- Forgotten Ground StopWatch Server with occasional wolfrof 1
- Fraggle Rock ETPub Server - Mix up ET/UT & Duke Nukem

Yes, but what are you trying to do ? Are you trying to run a demo playback server ? Or a delayed feed ?

Then all you need is an etpub server with ettv enabled and a couple of slots. No need to connect it to the master.

Your demos should then be in /home/flames/ettv/etpub/demos according to your fs_homepath settings.

Just make sure your fs_game is set to etpub since fs_game tells the binary what mod you're running, and etpcl isn't a known mod IMO.

Yes but ETPCL is not a mod now is it? Only the name of the mod is allowed in fs_game.

Never put an etpro qagame in your etpub directory, you need the etpub qagame...

All you need is ettv.x86 & tvgame.

Elaborate on "doesn't work"

deej:
Except for etpro which has special code to complain if the fs_game isn't etpro, the actual name doesn't matter. You can put etpub in whatever directory you want, as long as you set fs_game correct. Of course, from a clients POV it will be a different mod, but that doesn't matter.

When you say it "doesn't work" what do you mean ?

FWIW, I can play an ettv demo with

Code: Select all

 ./ettv +set fs_homepath ~/etserver/tvplayer +set fs_game etpro +set sv_punkbuster 0 +demo demo0000
edit:
./ettv is actually a shell script:

Code: Select all

cd "/opt/enemy-territory"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
exec ./ettv.x86 "$@"
