Missing addons

Recommended Posts

I just started adminning the =[bBE]= Coop server (Dual Pentium, 100Mbit). The server is located somewhere else in the Netherlands so I have to upload everything, which is fine.

The server is runnig the win32 1.94 beta (hotfix) ded. server without much problems, EXCEPT: it won't start some missions. For example the new "Rainy Season" mission from BAS won't load (from the CoC addon UA). It says: "Missing addon jam_magazines". Also the coop from BAS with 9 players won't start "Missing addon OPFOR". While OPFOR was made AFTER this mission was made!!! When I dePBO this mission I can see this addon isn't required to play this mission.

The weird thing is: the server has the same addons as I use: CoC unified mod, All BAS addons (incl. tonal + patch 1). What is going on? Other missions which require these addons work just fine. And, yes, I installed everything in the right addons folders, have all the addons mentioned, etc.

Can someone help me? Which steps should I take. I searched the forum but couldn't find a good answer. If I overlooked something, I am sorry. Plz help!!!

There were dependency errors in both jam_magazines (v1) and basopcpp. As you get the bas_opfor error message from the bas_opcpp you shouldn't get the jam_magazines error message, as the bas tonal pack contains a new version of jam_magazines.

You could look for through the tonal thread for a solution: either move all your addons to the addons folder (not modfolder and not res\addons) or get fixed versions of those addons.

Move the addons to the regular addons folder on the server, or on the client side?

Well, I moved all addons in the "regular folders" i.e.: res/addons and addons, but that didnt help. On the client side, i have all original addons in res/addon and my other addons in modern/addons. So, I load up with -mod=modern.

To make it quick: all the above didnt work. And yes, i have all files for the client also.

Anyone else have any idea?

"co @07 rainy season" from CoC UA (BK 1.0) wont load for two related reasons:<ul>[*]It lacks a "jam_magazines" in its addons[] part of the mission.sqm. This is because...

[*]bas_opcpp.pbo lacks a proper requiredAddons declaration in its config.cpp. If it had one, the jam_magazines would be added to the mission when the mission maker previewed it in the editor.

Fixes for this particular error:

<ul>

[*] add "jam_magazines" to the mission (in addons[] =...)

[*] correct the bas_opcpp.pbo using the information I posted on...page 28 of the Tonal Island thread

After this, I'll bet you will get the next error message waiting in line to tell you that yet another addon has an improper requiredAddons declaration.

The huge amount of addons out there with missing/incomplete addons dependency declarations is a widespread problem that needs to end. Yesterday.

So you tried the fixed versions of those addons?

Anyway, regular folders would be the addons folder. Moving all addons there, depboing the mission, previewing it in the editor, then pboing it again might solve that problem. If you actually use fixed addons for this it will solve your problem.

All, thanks for your help so far. I am gonna try fixing this on the server and dePBO the mission. I update here when it works or doesn't. Or maybe I should make my own missions...
