Nope, Sapp is pretty stable by now. I had servers with 20-30-40 days uptime and they only got restarted cuz updates etc. And I increased the thread to 120 ticks, tho ofc physics processing and networking etc. is still with 30 ticks but at least pings are more accurate now and it improved reg too. Check my long post about the no-lead mod from some page earlier. :P http://www.modacity.net/forums/showt...l=1#post635976
Btw. There are 250+ Servers running on SAPP atm. ^^

It works very well :neckbeard:
Hehehehe I guess they fed up with the flood of tickets :D
sorry wasnt able to login for a while....but yeah got my server working great...one thing though, how cani use the disable_<object_name> function to disable objects only for a specified team...like say, a zombie server. thanks
Quick question, how can level 3 admins view the maplist?
I tried to add the following command but it doesnt do anything:
maplist 'sv_maplist' 3
you need to change the command level of that command so that a level 3 admin can use that command...wont explain more as you can go to the main website and learn how to do this its quick and ez my friend. dont exactly member how but its ez.
EDIT: setcmd <command> <name/level> Set the name/level of the given command. Example: setcmd k kick this will change 'k' command to 'kick'
setcmd k 3 this will change 'k' (kick) command's level to level 3
I got this in my commands.txt but it doesnt work :(
setcmd sv_maplist 2
setcmd sv_maxplayers 2
setcmd sv_map 2
setcmd sv_password 2
Basicly you can only do sv_maplist when you are level 4 admin.
You have it in commands.txt when it should be in your sapp init.txt (the one in cg\sapp on your gameservers server).
commands.txt is for defining your own custom commands. For example, if you wanted to spawn an overshield and have it apply to the person executing the command you would put this in your commands.txt:
shield 'spawn eqip "powerups\over shield" $n'
Then all they need to do is type '\shield' in chat.
yeah thats it...
1 thing though, how can i use disable_object<object_name> to disable objects only for a specific team for example on a zombie server. im having problems doing it as it disables object for both teams. is this is possible plz show me.
Hey!
sanni: You can't use setcmd on basic Halo commands. :/ I think what you want is not possible atm.
Crenshaw: disable_object applied for both team, you couldn't specify it for only one of them. But I added this feature in
Sapp 5.5:
New features:
- disable_object <object_name> [team] : Now you can specify team : 0/unset: both, 1: red, 2: blue.
Ex. disable shotgun for the blue team: disable_object "weapons\shotgun\shotgun" 2
If Sapp mapcycle is running, whatsnext command tells you the next Map and Gametype.
CPU usage of haloceded.exe is reduced to minimal.
Features for HAC2 users:
- HAC can get the mapcylce of server if it's using Sapp mapcycle.
Server Query fixes:
- Fixed the bug when Halo cut the end of the map name after a dot.
- Added the server port.
- Added Sapp version.
- Added next map and next mode (not working if you using basic Halo mapcycle).
This feature will help HAC for pre-downloading the following map when the game ends.
Basically, for supporting HAC users, please change your default Halo mapcyle to Sapp's one, especially if it contains custom maps.
It's some steps only. There is a mapcycle.txt (ANSI encoding) in the gametypes\sapp folder. From your init.txt move the mapcycle options here without the "sv_mapcycle_add" part in the "map:mode" format. Also, put "mapcycle_begin" command (without the sv_) after the load command in your init.txt. And finally, put sapp_mapcycle 1 to Sapp's init.txt.
Example:
Halo format:
init.txt:
...
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch ctf
sv_mapcycle_add ratrace slayer
sv_mapcycle_add sidewinder ctf
sv_mapcycle_add carousel slayer
sv_mapcycle_begin
load
Sapp format:
mapcycle.txt:
bloodgulch:ctf
ratrace:slayer
sidewinder:ctf
carousel:slayer
init.txt:
...
load
mapcycle_begin
Sapp's init.txt:
...
sapp_mapcycle 1
Bug fixes:
On single core systems, Halo froze for ~10 sec at new game (Halo threading fail).
map command got ignorant if you mistyped the map/mode name until a new game (lol).
sv_map now should cancel the mapvote too.
Small bug fixes in sapp mapcycle + optimisations.
Some other small changes and bug fixes that I don really remember... :D
Could you make an admin level that can just use the basic halo console commands minus the dev stuff and none of the naughty commands.
Because selecting a custom map without being able to use sv_maplist is kinda hard and I don't want to give all my admins level 4 access with all the stuff they can mess up or exploit.
Thank you :)
ok i figured because i tgried it in every aspect and could get it to work...Quote:
Crenshaw: disable_object applied for both team, you couldn't specify it for only one of them.
so when will this version be out?? or is it already in testing?Quote:

oh snap im still gonna post this. i was posting this and went over to your site and saw 5.5 already there because the way you were talking is as if it was out and it is. this is great sehe. good work.
how can i use HAC2 with your server or it isnt server sided yet? i know the client version of HAC2 is out for testing but when i try to start halo ce with it, it gives be HAC unable to start with error code 126 and shuts off. how can i fix this?
Simple solution would be to use SAPP's mapcycle control instead of the default halo stuff. Or make custom commands for the default commands using commands.txt, for example:Quote:

where should i put the disable_object<object_name> team in sapp? is it in the init txt or event.txt?
EDIT: found out how to do it, but having problems when i choose the skull/ball to be the weapon for the zombies team, it just plays out as anormal slayer gametype with noevent called from the event.txt.
the disable_object<object_name> should have been an event rather than s command you have to put in SAPP's int.txt file. :)
just an opinion. the zobies gametype is now more realistic. awesome work mane.
1 suggestion though sehe can you make the despawn command into an event and object specific? so that when a specific player dies their weapon gets despawn, for example on a zombies server whereby when they die the skulls despawn in order to not have skulls all over the server and so that when a player release their skull it despawn and we can jus 'wadd $n "weap\ball\ball"' to make the skull respawn as their primary weapon
can someone plz tell me or show me the commands/event to give players three(3) weapons at spawning??? ive managed to give three weapons put it immediately drops the last spawn weapon added to the player when they spawn.
Check the events of the ExampleZombiesServer
i have that, didnt even bothered checking it. but thank will c what it entails.
EDIT:. checked it jusnow and it doesnt show or say how. as a matter of fact it only spawns 1 gun for u and dats the shottie. meanwhile i have mine spawning three(3) but just having difficulty making the last 1 stick.
any more help will be appreciated.
Sapp 5.6:
New features:
Map loading and map downloading, for Btcc22's suggestion.
The commands:
- maplist: Level 3 command that lists all the available maps.
- map_load <map_name>: Loads a new map from the maps folder, therefore no need for restart the server anymore if you want to install new maps.
Example: map_load coldsnap
- map_query <string>: Query the list of the maps from the server that's available for download and has the "string" in the name.
Example: map_query cold
Returns:
ID Name
0 coldaphobia
1 coldaphobia_2
2 coldrush
3 coldsnap
4 icecold
5 [h3]cold_v1
- map_download <map_ID>: Downloads and install the map that you choose from the query list. Note that you don't have to use the map_load command for the maps you downloaded, just be patient while it gets downloaded, extracted and installed.
Example: After you executed the map_query cold command, use map_download 3 to download coldsnap.
Also, a special strings.dll is now available on the site. With this dll you don't have to replace the haloceded.exe anymore, because it patches the exe for everything (load/unload command, ascii name, devmode, etc.) + it got the map cache from HAC2.
Special Thanks for Btcc22 for the map loader and map caching code, and for Gijs for hosting all the ~1000 maps for Sapp and Hac2!
Sweet, been wanting this :)
Where are maps downloaded from?
Where are the archive copies of the maps stored? Are they deleted after downloading?
loving sapp every day mane...nice
The maps are downloaded from NL, Gijs host them as I wrote in my post. This only apply for SAPP, HAC2 uses CDN and has more mirrors in other places too.
The archives are streamed to the memory via TCP, so they doesn't get stored on the HDD/SSD, only the extracted map files (in the maps folder).
Hey sehe,
How would i get my server to balance players when switching between a zombies game to a ctf or slayer. for example a zombies game has switched all players to blue team once finished, but when the ctf game starts next in the map cycle all players are still on blue team.
I have tried the following with no luck: event_start $mode!:ZOMBIES 'balance_all'
and i have also tried event_join which works but is impractical as teams keep balancing when people join the server during a game
PLEASE HELP ME
thats weird as i have mine setup the same way with zombie gametype and ctf gametype running after one another on the same server but no problem arise and i dont have to use balance_teams command for none of the gametype as the way i have my events.txt setup it works perfect for me you can choose how many players join the red team b4 they start switching to zombies team just read up more on the zombie test server @ http://sapp.xgclan.com
by the way why do you even have to use balance_teams command? that would more than likely be used when you have team switching enabled in your gametype and ppl are switching to another team that already have more players than the team their switching from. if so be the case you can just add "block_tc true" to sapp's init file to block players from changing teams.
if not the case just put this in your events.txt:
event_start 'w8 5;balance_teams' and this should balance both teams 5seconds after each game. the 5 represents how much seconds after the game start, it would execute the 'balance_team' command, you can change it to the amount you prefer. hope this helps.
I need it to balance because what happens is a zombie game will end with everyone on blue team because everyone is infected. Then when people vote say "ctf" as the next game everyone is still on blueteam. And YES i have setup team switch block:Quote:

hey guys im having a problem myself...my server updated to the 5.6.1 version of sapp and ever since then (which is yesterday btw) my server stopped showing the server messages. all it does is say welcome to whatever player joins and thats it. my custom messages or the spam messages doesnt show now. i reverted back to a 5.5 update i had and now it works, is this a bug?
so what i gave didnt work out for you?
like i said i have my server setup the same way and no problems mane. everyone ends up on the blue team at the end of my zombie game but when the other game start for whatever they voted for its well balanced, would like to check out the events.txt to see if i can change anything.
no it didn't unfortunately here is my events.txtAttachment 3136
Hey sehe, I'm not sure if this is the best place to contact you, but I had a few problems you might want to look into.
SAPP on my server has updated to version 5.6.2, but this is not listed on the website as having been released yet. I'm hoping this is because you just haven't updated the website yet, but you've been pretty prompt updating it with all the other updates in the last couple of weeks and I just wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally get a wrong version.
I tried using the new strings.dll with the original haloceded.exe and when I go to start the server I get an error message: "strings.dll is missing" (with the full path). The behavior is identical whether I use your haloceded.exe or the original. As soon as I put the original strings.dll back in the folder I am able to start the server again. Is there another required file? Am I missing a step for using your strings.dll?
I stumbled upon a crash by running the 'd <player_number>' command. I restarted the server and tried it again with the same result. So there may be an easily reproducible error there. Can anyone else confirm this problem or is it just me?
Finally, with the dedicated server (without SAPP) you can issue an 'sv_map <mapname> <variantname>' command and load any map and gametype on the server. But, when using SAPP to manage the map cycle this command just loads the next map in SAPP's mapcycle. Is there any way to get the original functionality back?
Thanks, great work!
Rob
I'm running 5.6.2 as well, and the d command works fine for me.
yeah the update to 5.6.2 fixed my spam messaging feature but still didnt see my 'event_join' messages when i enter my server.
and to malarkey all the commands works the same way for me...i could perform ALL.
in this event.txt you uploaded for me, is this the event.txt your using for both zombies and normal gametype?? if so that is your problem as it but im reuploading your event.txt you with the format it should be in so here it is...Quote:

Which is a bug? I mentioned several items in my post and you don't say which you're referring to...Quote:

As soon as that happens I have had many commands cause a crash, not just "d <player_number>". I have been making a lot of changes on my server (i.e. doing "reload" a lot) so that could be why I'm seeing this issue when others are not. It seems to be stable unless I do a reload. Unload/Load works fine. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?
Rob
I noticed SAPP updated to version 5.6.3. I tried reloading and still got the mapcycle error, but there were no more crashes. I'll report back if that changes once I get some more significant usage on the server, but I'm guessing the instability has been fixed with the new release. Thanks for all the work you've put into this.
For my mapcycle question, the SAPP "map" command works just as I expect and that is sufficient for me.
Only question I have left is if anyone else has tried the "strings.dll" and gotten it to work?
Rob
just realized event_start $mode!:ZOMBIES 'w8 5;balance_teams' works great !!
Thank you Crenshaw
dude go to the main website and read up on the updates, it has instructions about the mapcycle.Quote:

dude do you have notepad++?(notepad plus plus) if you don'd search google and download it if yes check to see if your commands.txt is encoded in USC-2 Little Endian if not alot of your commands will work. thats what fixed it for me.
BTDT, there is no information there on what I was asking. Besides, that was a statement that I figured my own problem out, and in case anyone else has a similar problem what my solution was. So why would I need to go and read the updates?Quote:

ps. i know it will.
One thing I've noticed about using #n is that if you use "me" as a substitute when spawning vehicles, it causes some weird issues. The vehicle appears to spawn at a fixed location on the map. Using that command, I also ran into issues were it seemed like my spawned vehicle was out of sync. Rockets hitting me were doing no damage and I didn't have godmode or anything enabled.
sehe, if you read this can you make #n work with "me" as well? It's easier if the person executing the command can just type "me" instead of finding their player number if they want to give something to themself.
yes because the #n replaces the index number of whatever player you choose to put in the command when executing it. thats all i could say.
spawnc #n 'spawn vehi "vehicles\c gun turret\c gun turret_mp"#n; venter #n' spawns you a turret outside of the map :(
'spawn vehi "vehicles\c gun turret\c gun turret_mp" $n' 4 does work now though,
thx guys :D
if your close to a wall yes but if you entered that into your commands.txt it should work perfectly trust me...all my admins are using this method now since ive updated my commands.txt with somemore commands. less slappy and more quick when using the ingame chat to execute.
The "me" command I'm talking about SHOULD work though, since it's a player expression.
true but it signifies a function/command to you, the person who are executing the command, whereby using the #n signifies any applicable player including yourself using the index of the player....sehe could implement it i guess shouldnt be a big of a deal.
"me" should just input the player index number of the person executing the command, so it should work. That's my point. Using #n is great for giving stuff to other players since you need to use /pl to get their number first anyway, having to use /pl to get my own number when "me" exists is just silly. Takes extra time and is convoluted.
true but reason why i say is because i have no hassle figuring out my index as i setup my server to show u a bunch of stuff when you join including ur index number....so yeah like you said it should have reflected back as"me" for the person executing the command.
It's not hard to get your own player index, it's a simple "/d me" command. However that's one extra step that's not needed.
Is there any place where we can share our commands, events and custom gametypes or just post them in this thread?
Here is what I made yesterday, just some simple weapon/vehicle spawn commands:
Example use:
Commands:Code:/givehog 1 -> gives player 1 a hog and puts him in the drivers seat
/giverox 1 -> gives player 1 a rocket lauchner if he has less that 4 weapons
/spawnhog 1 -> spawns a hog at players 1's location
/spawnrox 1 -> spawns a rocket launcher at player 1's location
And now a question. I want to make a simple gun game. Where you start with the weakest weapon and for every kill you get a better one.Code:givehog #n 'spawn vehi "vehicles\warthog\mp_warthog" #n; venter #n' 4
giverhog #n 'spawn vehi "vehicles\rwarthog\rwarthog" #n; venter #n' 4

This is hiw far I am right now. Not tested if it works though:
My question: Is there any way to despawn all weapons from the map? So that players only have what the server gives them and can't pickup the weapons that spawn on the map by default? The only thing that comes to my mind is replacing all weapons by a shotgun and then use the disable command to disable the shotgun. But that's not really what I want.Code:event_spawn $mode:Accumulate $map:bloodgulch $kills<1 'nades $n 0 0;wdel $n 0;wait 50; giveppistol $n;w8 2;say $n "Welcome to Gun Game.

While this is a very usefull command I will definitly use too. My main concern is about the weapons that spawn on the floor of the map. E.g. the sniper at the base, the rocket in the middle etc.
I want to despawn those.
well that a whole new thing on a whole...i wud modify the gametype "accumulate" to only spawn plasma pistols, that the weakest gun to me,and then spawn theguns u want for the players as u wud and you wont need to worry about removing weapons.
Why do you have a 4 trailing all your commands sanni?
The 4 makes the commands only accessible by level 4 admins.
For example these commands are available for level 3 admins too:
Code:maxplayers #n 'sv_maxplayers #n;say * "Server maxed to #n"' 3
switch #n 'st #n;say * "Player #n was switched to the opposite team"' 3
Oh, I just use the setcmd thing in my sapp init for all of that.
Can I request the variable $password? It will tell you wether or not the server is passworded.
Because if someone forgets to remove the password from your server you could do a simple if $password=1 & $players=0 w8 300 if $password=1 & $players=0 do sv_password "" thingy with the event system =)
Bug Report:
If you spawn a ghost in ratrace or any other map that doesn't have any vehicle spawns the server will crash when the ghost wants to respawn :(
Can you please fix that. I want to drive around in ratrace =)
I'd think you could set the vehicle respawn time to "never" to solve that problem. Or, despawn it when you get out...

Here is a usefull command if you play the map sneak alot
Because of Sneak's snowhogs the driver ejection was disabled by the mapmaker. Sadly it stays disabled even if you change to another map. Using this command will enable the ejection again like so: /eject 1Code:eject #n 'rider_ejection #n;say * "rider_ejection set to #n"' 4
Yo, I have exams so I don't really have time for these atm. sanni that's a Halo bug, if you spawn vehicles to map with no vehicle spawn point the server will crash. But as it was mentioned by Rob, setting the vehicle respawn time to "never" should fix it. And 'me' + '#n' should work at the most of case, but only those commands have player expressions which has "player_expression" as first argument, so not like spawn.
Oh and for that sv_password thing... I'm just using an event_leave $pn=0 'sv_password ""' to reset the password when the last player leaves (event leave doesn't get executed at new game when the players just leave and rejoin). Or you can use event_leave $pn=0 'reload' to reset all server settings to "default".
Thanks, will use the event_leave reload command. Good luck for your exams :)
Here is some other bug I noticed:
It seems that betray events get executed once when the betray happens and a second time when a new map loads if saving scores is enabled.
If have this team-killer-education-system (xD) set up:
Tk ban is set to 9. It works very well and some stop betraying after the second kick ;DCode:event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=1 'say $n "Please do not betray!"'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=2 'say $n "Last personal warning before kick!"'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=3 'say * "$name was executed for killing team mates!"; kill $n'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=4 'say * "$name will be kicked for betraying!"; w8 3; sv_kick $n'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=5 'say $n "Rejoining does not reset your betray count"'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=6 'say * "$name was kicked for betraying AGAIN!"; w8 3; sv_kick $n'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=7 'say $n "Last personal warning before ban!"; kill $n'
event_tk $mode!:cbctf $tk=8 'say * "$name will soon be banned for betraying!"'
So now for example a player tk's 4 times. The server kicks him. He rejoins, which is fine by me. His tk count is ofc still 4 like it should be. Now a new map loads and he gets automaticly kicked again about a second after he joined the new map.
He shouldn't get kicked again. It seems to me like the event system goes through all events on map load but ignores wether or not the event actually just took place now or some minutes ago.
So I figured out this problem as well. I noticed that the original Strings.dll is capitalized while the one I downloaded from http://sapp.xgclan.com/sapp/downloads/strings.dll is lowercase. Windows isn't case sensitive so this shouldn't matter, but renaming SAPP's "strings.dll" to "Strings.dll" solves the problem.Quote:

How do I pause the mapcycle?
For example I wanna mix. So I put /map sidewinder cbctf, after the game is over the mapcycle continous automaticly instead of just reloading Sidewinder again. I would like to prevent the mapcycle from starting after the map is played.
There is mapcycle_begin but is there also mapcycle_stop?
Is there a way of setting teleports in a sapp server, for instance walking into a rock will teleport you 2 a cliff and vice versa. sapp would be so sick if their was support for a feature like this :D ???
I hope you don't mind me posting ideas I have here, even though they may be stupid ;D
But here is goes:
A "save state" command. It saves the current state of the game, e.g. all players positions, health, shield, weapons, scores, kills, deaths. And you can revert to that state with a "load state" command.
Now you could use this in several ways:
- For example if there is a league match and someone drops out, you could do an automatic player quit -> save state script. So when he rejoins the admin could load the game state from the moment the players dropped out.
Suggestion #2:
Map Downloading Queue via text file.
Since Gameservers.com is really bad I find myself constantly moving the server to a different location. Mondays UK is good weekends NL and now and then the German servers are the only one not lagging. One thing I hate is that either I have to slowly ftp all the custom maps over to the new server or I use the build in function in sapp to download each map to the server. Which can take some time too.
It would be just beast if I could just drop a mapqueue.txt file in the sapp folder and sapp would auto download all the maps I specify in there.
thats a good idea sanni.
I've been noticing some weird issues with the teleport command. It seems like the server-side is registering the player as teleported, but client-side is not.
Ex: I don't visually move, I appear to stay in the same spot. However other people in the server don't see me in the original spot, I can't interact with anything in the original spot, and sometimes the game syncs up and I end up teleporting many seconds/moments later.
I have those "can't interact with anything"-moments quite often. Maybe once a week and totally unrelated to teleporting. Just like 5 seconds where the client and the server don't sync. Maybe there is a bug somewhere idk.
Yeah I've noticed it without teleporting a bit recently as well.
I just switched over to using the stings only version though.
Yeah looks like the fast thread cycle can make playrs with very low ping desync for some seconds. No solution yet. :D
Explains why moving my server from Germany(10ms ping) to NL(20ms) helped a little but still not fixed the desync issue xD.
Hope u find a solution because getting called a lagger by vaib hurts my feelings xD.
Relating to Map Downloads:
Would it be possible to show the size of the map files in the query list?
Also, what about options that can set a max total amount of maps that a server can have on it, a way to turn off the map downloading feature, and a special logging file for downloaded maps (who downloaded what and when)?
Hope to see argument for team score on SAPP.
So the point is: i was thinking of maximum usage for balance_teams cmd. As i seen many admins put this cmd in event_start, but as i correctly understand its frong, cuz SAPP not remember any data from previous game( thats why balance works weard for them).
My idea is to put balance to ending of game, but there is no reason to balance game every game( event end is not valid for that), so if we ll have accease to argument $teamscore we can easily know which team won and what current score was. If game ended not becouse of time ended, but because one team scored, then balance. In other case let teams play, till time ends.
Sapp for Halo PC is out! Check it and report any bugs here or on Xfire. :D
Did you fix the desync issues for players with low ping?
nopeQuote:

I'm working on this now:
http://www.elitegameservers.net/sapp/serverlist/
A web serverlist for Sapp servers, atm it needs some design but then it will be fine :D
Update: So it's not that bad now, after learning some CSS. :P
You should look into the desync issue, as it's preventing any of the local players that enjoy playing on my server from playing.
Yes I was looking into it when I made this video. :D
I figured that if you alt-tab then switch back to Halo then it fixes it. But still no idea why this happening, yet.
@frozendude i use balance_teams when some 1 leaves. this is the correct way that command should be used. atleast thats the most logical reason to ballance a team.Quote:

There's no need to rebalance teams just because a player leaves. Auto-balancing is an irritating act that should only be done when when it's clear that the other team is struggling, although I'm not sure if it's possible to do this with SAPP.
thats not irrating i play on CSK 2 halo PC server all the time and they do the same as on my server. balance teams when some1 leaveas and also r able to balance teams when the scores of a team are very high in comparison to the other. but they're using Phasor. so all i could do is balance my teams when some1 leave with sapp. i think it could be done with sapp but you will have to check all players against aspecific number. i have mine settup so the player with the lowest score from the losing team will be switched to the winning team and the person with the highest score from the winning team is switch to the other. cant say that they liked it but they got used to it. and that only happens if the winning team is leading by X amount of points.
I probably find it irritating because I'm usually one of the players that has their game flow interrupted by being killed and shunted across to the opposite team constantly.
Yeah, it must suck being the worst on the server. :realsmug:Quote:

Desync bug must be fixed now, it's possible that your server might not got auto-updated, in this case update it manually from the site.
All my servers updated just fine :)
Small suggestion:
mapcycle with conditions, e.g.:
infinity:ctf:$pn>9
Meaning it skips this entry in the mapcycle.txt as long as the number of players on the server is below 10
