Hi,

I have a functioning dedicated server install of the 3355 Linux server running deathmatch, ctf etc quite happily. However, I am having trouble persuding it to run FHIv4 :(.

No matter the variation of command line that I use I keep getting the following error in the server log:

DevLoad: Loading object 'server' class 'Class'
DevLoad: Loading object 'serverCommandlet' class 'Class'
DevLoad: Loading object 'Engine.ServerCommandlet' class 'Class'
Log: Executing Class Engine.ServerCommandlet
DevLoad: Loading object 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' class 'Class'
Warning: Failed to load 'Class None.ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine': Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file
Warning: Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file
Critical: Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file
Exit: Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Exit: Exiting.

The command line (invoked from the ~/ut2004/System/ directory) is:

Init: Command line: FHI-GreenTower?gametype=FHI.FHI -ini=UT2004.ini -mod=FHIv4 -log=FHIServer.log -nohomedir

I get the error irrespective of the presence of -ini=UT2004.ini

Adding the FHIv4 paths to UT2004.ini doesn't seem to make much difference.

Suggestions would be gratefully received...

Running on Scientific Linux V4 (2.6.9 kernel - essentially RHEL)

Ok, I don't quite know what's going on there. Have you tried deleting FHIv4.ini and running without using -ini=UT2004.ini to let it rebuild the settings?

Critical: Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file

Why is there an ini:Engine entry anyway? :con:

That did the trick. I had used/not used -ini=UT2004.ini and that hadn't made a difference. I hadn't tried deleting the FHIv4.ini (which I think was inherited from one of my Windows installs)

I certainly didn't add that but see earlier comment regarding where I got the FHIv4.ini from.

Thanks for the rapid response (I pay good money at work for poorer support response times than that:) ). It is appreciated.
