Having trouble loading wads on server using shell

lampshadelampshade
edited 2015 Dec 24 in Technical Support
I have no problem creating my own server and having others join, but when I try to have the server load a custom wad by putting "load epic2.wad" for example in the options the map is not loading correctly. I will see the map from a distance and can't move (see screenshot).

- I have the latest version installed
- I do have epic2.wad enabled when launching doom2
- I have the epic2.wad file in both my custom wads folder and the server-runtime folder (see screenshot)

Perhaps I am missing something simple here? Others connecting to my server with the custom wad will see the same thing.

    Also, for what it's worth- I can upload the doomsday.out later today but I have no issues running doomsday single player or multiplayer other than loading the custom wads on the server.

    Machine specs:
    AMD FX8350 Processor
    16GB RAM
    AMD HD 7970 Graphics card
    Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
    240GB Corsair SSD

    I'm guessing the server hasn't actually loaded your WAD, which is why you spawn in the void. The Options field in the Shell is for executable command line options, which is not the same thing as the runtime console commands you have there currently.

    I can see how this is a bit confusing, though. My plan is to have the Shell show this kind of options as GUI widgets in the future.

    In practice, you can issue console commands via the command line options. Try putting this in the Options field: 
    -file "c:\full\path\to\the\epic2.wad" -cmd "server-game-skill 3"

    Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! I will try tonight and post back my results...

    Unfortunately it didn't work. I get the same result using -file the path in question.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling just now and that also didn't work. No trouble loading the custom wads in single player either. Seems like only the server is having trouble loading it. I tested other wads too, same result.

    When I installed Doomsday, I have installed in a simple path like "C:\Doomsday". Then I created a folder called "Wads" in the Doomsday directory which looks like this "C:\Doomsday\Wads". I put all my packs and wads in this directory. So when I use shell to load my custom wads, I use a command like -file c:\doomsday\wads\mywad.wad under options. "Options" is located under "Advanced" when you select "New Local Server..." under Shell. I don't put quotes around a path as you would notice. Try that.

    Check out the server-runtime Doomsday.out above. I have -file with the directory and file specified, there's no spaces or anything funky in the file path. The log shows the server continues to load the maps from Doom2.wad and ignores the file command. I also find it odd that there's a large spacial gap between 18: and 19: in the command line options.

    So when the server is starting, it is not loading game resources from the custom wad like it should be. I understand how to do it but can't figure out why it's not working on my machine.

    I installed Doomsday on an old laptop with a fresh install of Windows 10. I got the server to load the custom wad on first go.

    My primary desktop/gaming PC has likely seen several versions of doomsday since ~2012, including some of the unstable versions I've tested. I wonder if there are some lingering files from old installations preventing the server/shell from functioning correctly. I noticed when I uninstalled, deleted the install folder, and reinstalled it still kept the server shell preferences and settings.

    I think I need to completely remove doomsday and reinstall to a fresh directory to get this working on my primary machine.

    Looking at my server-runtime doomsday.out I notice this line that does not appear on my laptop with the working/fresh install: 
    Config::read: modules/Config matches version [ 2, 0, 0, 1795 ]

    Skyjake-If there is something lingering from testing a 2.0 version, how could I go about completely removing it?

    That does look quite odd. There could be bug in how the Shell is passing command line options to Doomsday. If there's some special characters being added to the file name, that would cause the engine to not find it. I'll have to take a closer look at how the options handle whitespace and other special characters.

    All the persistent information is kept in the "(server-)runtime" folders. You could first try renaming your existing "C:\Users\TimothyJames\AppData\Local\Deng Team\Doomsday Engine\server-runtime" to something else, so Doomsday will recreate it with default contents.

    Fixed!

    I completed the following steps:
    - Uninstalled
    - Deleted folder from Program files
    - Deleted front end directory from My Documents
    - Deleted folder in AppData\Local
    - I did a Ctrl+F in the registry and deleted anything Doomsday related
    - Rebooted
    - Reinstalled in different directory

    Probably overboard but I'm happy to have finally got it working. Thanks all!
