i wonder if someone else has the same problem.
I've done a clean q4 1.2 linux install on a Fedora Core 4 linux box.
(i've had 1.02, 1.04, 1.05, 1.1b and 1.1 patches before; i know how to set them up, it' all worked perfectly)
I keep getting the following error:
Sys_Error: Error during initialization
I've tried everything, a new clean install, setting fs_homepath/basepath/savepath, logfile 0 and moving q4 install in to home directory of the user that's running the server..
Now, there is one more, straange, thing that is happening.
Q4 1.2 keeps looking for some 'default.cfg' (this never happened before - wtf is default.cfg if i specified mine server.cfg!?) and it usualy says:
Error: Couldn't load default.cfg - Check your working folder.
always followed by
Sys_Error: Error during initialization
On q4max mode i can't get the default.cfg prob. solved, the game just doesn't listen to the cmds +set fs_basepath /usr/local/games/quake4 +set fs_savepath /home/quake/.quake4 +set fs_homepath /usr/local/games/quake4 +set fs_game q4max +exec server.cfg.
(i've also tried renaming the server.cfg to default.cfg and i got the same errors)
What's strange is that when renaming the server.cfg, for xbm mode, to default.cfg didn't report 'Error: Couldn't load default.cfg - Check your working folder.' but server loading ended again with 'Sys_Error: Error during initialization'.
Running just the lines ./quake4-dedicated or ./quake4-dedicated +exec server.cfg (id's basic cfg in baseq4 renamed to server.cfg)or ./quake4-dedicated +exec default.cfg (same as example before this one) or ./quake4-dedicated fs_game q4max +exec server.cfg (or default.cfg) gets the same Sys_error + Error finding default.cfg messages. :/
The only idea i have left is that the quake4-dedicated executive file keeps crashing becouse of some programing error or a specific conflict with Fedora Core 4 distro. :icon33:
Does anyone have any more ideas?
Does anyone have a similar problem?
(one more guy on qnet irc had the same probl.)
