level.db help and punkbuster

[Oxifresh]

Hi everyone, I am helping one of my buddies with setting a server up for fun basically. He wants to learn how to use jaymod and all that stuff. I have a little bit of experience but not much to help him out but i know some of you can. He went with some hosting site that I have never used or have no idea about but when he edits the level.db and saves it and restarts server, it will reset back to 1 level. Also there is no punkbuster files for him there. The main thing he wants is to have xpsave which he said he has enabled on config but it still wont save his xp. Last time I used a server hosting site was years ago and it was hard enough for me to figure out so please let me know if u can help him out. thank you:)

Did he have an etkey in his etmain folder? Even if his server is set up properly, if he does not have an etkey in his etmain folder, it would not work.

 

If he does have etkey and it still does not work, it would be good if you attach the server.cfg to your post but please remember to remove any sensitive information like rcon password, ref password, shoutcast password as well as the server name (to avoid advertising) etc. This way, other members and I can take a look at it.

[Xernicus]

Could he or you please post the level.db contents using the code function? (to the left of quote button)

What is the result of doing !setlevel with rcon?
Was server rebooted after level.db change?

Also: PB dropped support for ET years ago. Turn it off. If you want anticheat, run SilEnT mod.

[Oxifresh]

He said he added at etmain key now but there are the following categtories he says in his etmain folder which are mp_bin.pk3,objectivecycle,qagame.mp.i386.so,server.cfg,etconfig.cfg, then he added his etmain key now too

[Xernicus]

ETMain files have nothing to do with JayMod server, except for map PK3s and server.cfg. What's in the JayMod folder?

In all honesty, we need to see the contents of the files (level.db, shrubbot.cfg) to find out what the problem is- if he's uncomfortable sharing that, then there's nothing we can do.

AFAIK JayMod will automatically create a shrubbot.cfg file with two levels (0 and 1).

In order to save XP, these lines need to be in jaymod or server.cfg

set g_XPSaveFile "xpsave.cfg"
set g_XPSaveMaxAge "nnn"
set g_xpsave "1"
set g_xpmax "nnn"
set g_xpcap "nnn" 

Where 'n' is a variable.

[Oxifresh]

what would he set n too? and his level.db is only able to be editing when he is using rcon in server, he can add levels in server and do all that stuff but he cant in his file for some reason on the level.db?

He would have to decide that for himself.

 

Common values would be:

set g_XPSaveMaxAge "30d"
set g_xpSaveTimeout "1"
set g_xpmax ""
set g_xpcap "0" 

Restarting the server should not cause those issues, as long as user.db is in the JayMod folder (stores XP and admin levels for each player). There is also the !dbload command which can be used after the server has been started.

 

He should not be typing in these cmds via rcon, but rather putting them manually in his config. If they are set via rcon, the values will reset to default once the server is shut down afaik.

As Xernicus has stated, He should edit everything from the folder not rcon.

does that go in server config, under misc setting^?

You can place the cvars anywhere in server config but most likely the cvars already exist in server config so to prevent overwrite you should search for it and replace the cvar variables accordingly. You can read the Jaymod Documentation on XPSave. The server config you should change is the one in jaymod folder.

[Oxifresh]

hmm i did put that in my jaymod config but it still is not working, I will try to get the files for you guys soon but it is now saying no guid again for everyone. My question is do i edit under server.cfg or jaymod.cfg whats the difference?

[jaie]

do you have exec jaymod.cfg in your server.cfg?;

 

There is no difference (I thtink.. i'm not sure about speed), it's just organisation, each mod has different cfg settings, so you can split your settings into general settings and mod specific settings, that way if you decide to have a noquarter server you don't have to start from scratch or have  a bunch of jaymod settings. you would do exec noquarter.cfg and instead and load up your mod-related settings from there.

add exec jaymod.cfg;

and any other cfg you want your server to use

and I strongly recommend that you read the manual

where is set dedicated...

[Oxifresh]
