quick question

[{GD}Wolfe]

ok whenever i host a privite server people cant see their grenades, m16a2's and a few other weapons while in first person view. if they throw it down it does appearbut cant see their weapon after they pick it back up. I can see mine fine. also they cant see my weapon either. what would cause that?

 

[{GD}Wolfe]

Ghost, NT, Odie, FrenchFrog, and UN17 all had the same problem

Do you host a listen server or a dedicated server?

Allways use dedicated, listen has some bugs and wasn't betatested much.

 

[{GD}Wolfe]

ya just a listen server, usually its just to show progress on a map. but why is ok when someone else hosts it? ghost ran a listen server on the same map and it worked fine. but if you hot a dedicated server, you cant play on that machine correct?

 

[ant75]

Yes you can, just launch a dedicated server, then relaunch inf, and you can connect to your own server.

Which costs more cpu, a dedi server instance and a play instance, or a listen server instance?

 

[ant75]

It really doesn't matter, if it's only to betatest a map then the dedicated server is a much more reliable method.

 

[Crowze]

CPU is pretty much the same (maybe a little more for dedicated), but running separate instances (server and client) will use a lot more memory.

ok sweet thanks, ya i'll definitily give that a try. i got 640MB of RAM running on a athalon 2400. that SHOULD be enough.....i hope... lol

Infiltration.ini file:

ServerPackages=PlaceThePackageNameHere

All packages that have content that has to be visible on a client (like weapons that are held in 1st person aso) need to be a serverpackage.

Hey Beppo, ok, but the assets package is listed...thats what i dont understand :/ heres whats listed in my INI.... (the lines that start with MasterServerAddress= is actually part of the line above it)

You are using MUTATORS for these weapons to be available... so these MUTATOR packages are needed within the ServerPackages list....
I bet that the mutators have a readme that describes this too.

INF_Assets aso has nothing to do with 3rd party content as you should know.
