can't get a Siege server to start (when upgrading from mp3)

[beauchette]

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from mp3 to mp4, I'm going with a new directory to make things prettier, so basically:
- I extracted the mp4 files and its update
- I downloaded the siege pack
- I recreated a dedicated server account
- I made a dedicated cfg with my new login (basically the same as before, with only the auth changed)
- I took my old siege match settings
- I put one mp4 map in my Maps directory, and I put it in the playlist in the match settings.

and when I start my server like this :

Code: Select all

./ManiaPlanetServer /title=SMStormSiege@nadeolabs /game_settings=MatchSettings/siege1.txt /dedicated_cfg=dedicated_cfg.siege1.txt /nodaemon

I have this in return:

Code: Select all

I think you need this from the config helper

Ok, I didn't look at that section, and how is the new way to add maps ?

[endbase]

On the bottem of the script that is the same after startindex

[beauchette]

that's what I understood, it's like before.

but right now, the server says that it can't find my map, I suppose it can find it, but that's it's not a mp4 map. It's really tedious, especially since I have no tool on the dedicated server itself to convert the maps. Are there downloadable maps anywhere ?

Hi,

You can convert MP3 maps into MP4 by download them in the map editor and calculating the lightmaps.
If you have many maps, you can follow this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=266&t=40871
