DruidsPlayerAgreement

Mephisto — GMT

Hi, hopefully someone here can help me. We are trying to install the druidsplayeragreement but somehow nobody is able to get it running. Could someone please check the documentation within the package if there is maybe a misspelling or so ? There are already a few post in the Atariforums that nobody was able to get it running... Any tips or tricks ?

in the UT2004.ini file in the [Engine.GameEngine] section you have to add ServerActors=DruidsPlayerAgreement.PlayerAgreementServerActor ServerPackages=DruidsPlayerAgreement Then in the System/PlayerAgreement.ini file should look something like this: [DruidsPlayerAgreement.PlayerAgreementManager] Agreement=Some rules you want|and some others on another line. TimeStamp=11-23-2004 Timeout=300 YesButtonEnableTime=25 This was copied directly from the configuration on my server... Let me know if you have other issues with it. I'll take a look a the readme when I have a chance.

Did not work for me, tried that already. There is also a long thread on the Atari Forum about that. Someone said that the DruidsPlayersAgreement.int is missing ?!? Maybe you could clear up something there :) http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=430884

It's a server actor so it's not a mutator, so it doesn't have a .int or .ucl file.

My knee jerk reaction as to why this isn't working is the line break difference on linux and windows systems... (\n and \r\n) Give this a try...

roll your PlayerAgreement.ini up and smoke it.
With the text editor of your choosing, cut and paste the text about what should be in the INI from the previous post
just for sanity's sake, make sure that the UT2004.ini contains the right stuff :wink:
Start your server and watch the console.
You should see in the colsole ScriptLog: PAM: Using Druids Player Agreement
When someone joins the server, you should see this in the console:
ScriptLog: PAM: Requesting PlayerAgreement from: Some_Player_Name:Some_Global_Id

Thanks, will try when I finished work. One another thing: Is the agreement appearing before or after downloads starting ?

I don't believe it can appear before the download is complete since it hasn't downloaded yet, however, it's not inconceivable that it is working that way... That's why I'm suggesting that you watch the server log and see.. If a player doesn't answer yes within the timeout period, the player agreement manager assumes they answered no and kicks them from the server, noting in the log that they answered no...

Thanks a lot, I hope you don't mind that I quoted you in the atari forums :)

Nah, I actually went over there and linked the post back here. I wont notice replies over there. :wink:

Yeah, just saw it :) Just below the quotation (made it as Gomjaba and not Mephisto). Thanks anyway, will try later on again :) :)

I just glanced on the atari forums and it sounds like you got it working. I'll have to check the readme and see if it's off.

Re: DruidsPlayerAgreement

I was just wondering. Is that right that the message will be displayed just once ? If so, I just changed the agreement but it is still not displayed ?!? Any idea what I can do ?

You also need to update the timestamp variable. Once you update the timestamp, everyone who's timestamp doesn't match the current timestamp will be forced to agree again.

Thank you once again :)

Just a difference I noticed...... your readme.txt says : ServerActor=DruidsPlayerAgreement ServerPackage=DruidsPlayerAgreement All of the other items in the ini are: ServerActors=whatever ServerPackages=whatever

Re: DruidsPlayerAgreement

If the readme.txt was updated to be as follows, I think it would work for most people: This is a ServerActor that forces the player to agree to the rules on your server before they can begin playing there. After they agree once, a timestamp is written to the PlayerAgreement.ini with their server key. If you decide to later change the agreement, you can update the timestamp and all players will bve forced to agree again. You must add a line with the other ServerActors: ServerActors=DruidsPlayerAgreement.PlayerAgreementServerActor And you must add a line with the other ServerPackages: ServerPackages=DruidsPlayerAgreement Written by Druid This software is provided with no warranty or guarantee of any kind. Use this software at your own risk.

Hi Druid, I am having difficulty getting the player agreement package to work properly. I have read this forum and the atari forums and have tried all the stuff by it just won't work. It even says in the log that the PAM is running when the server starts. And it says that it is getting the player agreement for each person that joins the server. However, no one actually gets presented with an agreement and nothing is being download. I have gone as far as to clear my cache directory and not. I have run my server with no mutators or packages to ensure there is not any interference occuring. This is what I am using: [Engine.Engine] ServerActor=DruidsPlayerAgreement.PlayerAgreementManager ServerPackage=DruidsPlayerAgreement [DruidsPlayerAgreement.PlayerAgreementManager] Agreement=Testing|Testing|123 TimeStamp=06-15-2005 Timeout=300 YesButtonEnableTime=25 This is what is showing in my log file: ScriptLog: PAM: Using Druids Player Agreement And I get the line that states that it is getting the agreement for the player. Did I do something wrong that would cause the package file not to be sent to the client to be executed? My server is UT2004 3355

Yep you need to tag an 'S' on the two lines ServerActorS= ServerPackageS= without the S it wont work

Yeah the problem is the ServerActor with an S and the ServerPackage with an S. If you change those it should fix you right up. On another note, there's significant server perfomance issues with 3355 (in general, not due to this mod) You might want to consider the previous patch level. Dru

Thanks I cannot believe I overlooked that. That did the trick. Now all I have to do is shorten the Yes button time and I am good to go. Thanks.

I thought they did some tests and proved that the performance only drops on server with more than 16 players.... :?:

It sure hurts us. But you're right. It's mostly to do with lots of players
