qrzy Posted April 30 Posted April 30 (edited) Hello. I'm not sure if this topic should go to ET Support section, but because it is not linked to any FA servers I thought this would be a better place. For some time I wanted to make a couple fun meme videos which use some mechanics I can't use in a regular self hosted game. Usually I would start another match on a laptop, connect and record scenes on my main PC, and use both characters (players) at the same time. What limits me is lack of double-jumps and playdead options. If you know how to enable those settings in regular ET: Legacy I will be very thankful. But I think it should be still nice to know how to configure a private server. I have my own tiny private (physical) server at home running debian with couple services such as samba (file share) and minidlna (streaming to tv) on Debian linux. I have dedicated user account and user home directory just for ET server. Is is based on LinuxGSM. Setup was straightforward, it generated etlserver script which has a couple commands including start, stop, restart, monitor, details, etc. When started the server runs in the background. Next step was to download silent mod 0.9.0, and follow the instructions. Installation was a bit messy, and there was a problem with linking to omnibot_et.so. As opposed to LGSM, this time I started the server with following command: `./etlded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game silent +set fs_homepath /home/etserver/serverfiles/ +exec silent.cfg`. It seems OK and log output looks fine, but when I want to connect to my server I get this error message: "VM_Create on cgame failed" "Make sure cgame.mp.i386.so exists in the mod's folder you're trying to run.". This file is indeed in silent mod directory on my PC. Linking to this file from various places does nothing. I even thought this file was needed on server side so I copied it there, but also no effect. All server and game binaries are 32bit. Do you know how to solve this problem?

ET Member RNGesus Posted April 30 ET Member Posted April 30 Much more info is needed. cgame failure would be client side are you trying to connect a 64b client to a 32b etl is the client linux as well? Your also saying linking omnibot are you setting your ominbot path or using some werid symlinking? Quote
