Really just need some extra help with DarkRP - Help

Sorry guys, you may have seen me posting a few posts about having problems with DarkRP. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, its surprisingly different from a TTT server. I have the DarkRP installed into my gamemodes folder, yet it doesnt load DarkRP. It loads sandbox. I have the map in my /maps folder, but it doesnt let people join unless they manually put it in themselves. If someone could help me, I could share screens on skype or teamviewer, or we could chat via steam. AceAldridge is both my steam and skype name, but the display name for steam will be // MoJo \\ Ace. Any help would be lovely, sorry if I seem kinda nooby.

[QUOTE=AceAldridge;40004084]Hello, Facepunch Community! I am trying to run a DarkRP server. I have hosted a TTT server, but recently deleted my whole C:\srcds folder in order to make this DarkRP server, in an attempt to make some money[/QUOTE] I can't imagine that you're going to be capable of managing this server if you can't even solve the basic issues that have been posted on this forum countless times. But this is the help forum, so sv_defaultgamemode doesn't exist anymore, it's just gamemode. For the maps issue, make sure sv_allowdownload is set to 1.

Really, no need to be an ass about it. I appreciate the help but I've successfully managed a TTT server, I just havent ever fucked with DarkRP. I hardly even play DarkRP, this is at the request of my playerbase. So, sorry man.

So, sorry man.[/QUOTE] I wasn't being an ass, these answers have been posted multiple times on this forum, all you have to do is search, and anyone who isn't capable of searching for an answer to their problem before making a thread probably won't be able to troubleshoot real issues with their server. You're not doing this for your playerbase, at least that's not what you said in your other thread. You said that you were starting a darkrp server [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1255796"]in an attempt to make money[/URL], which is what I quoted in my first response. I can't imagine your community will be anymore unique if you're not capable of finding basic answers on your own.

No, actually, I went to dinner and let my friend sit here and try to figure it out. But, that doesnt affect the fact that despite you thinking different you're still being an ass. Just because you know how to do things related to gmod servers doesnt give you the right to be cocky and be a dick to someone who needs help. So once again, I apologize for never hosting a DarkRP server, and yes, all hail Rokrox. For the record, even with the gamemode DarkRP, still spawns in sandbox. [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] And, people still can't download the map after putting the sv_download in.

You can put it in the command line with "-gamemode" or in autoexec.cfg in /cfg and set "gamemode name" there.

Okay, I have all that done. Gamemode might be fixed, testing it now, but I'm still having problems with people downloading the maps.

How big is the map?

It's Evocity. Here, let me just copy and paste my shit. Gamemode is not fixed, either. It says "Unable to change gamemode, DarkRP not found", but I have DarkRP in the gamemodes folder. Here's this.. [CODE][HTML]hostname "MoJo Team Gaming | Dark RP" gamemode "DarkRP" sv_allowdownload "1" rcon_password "mojomojomojo" sbox_noclip "0" sbox_godmode "0" sbox_plpldamage "0" rp_toolgun "1" sbox_maxprops "1000" sbox_maxragdolls "0" sbox_maxeffects "0" sbox_maxdynamite "0" sbox_maxlamps "0" sbox_maxthrusters "0" sbox_maxwheels "4" sbox_maxhoverballs "0" sbox_maxvehicles "0" sbox_maxbuttons "20" sbox_maxemitters "0" sbox_maxspawners "0" sbox_maxturrets "0" [/HTML][/CODE] ^Server.CFG^ [CODE] [HTML]gamemode DarkRP r_hunkalloclightmaps 0[/HTML][/CODE] ^Autoexec.CFG^

net_maxfilesize has a maximum value of 64, so if the map is larger than that you may not be able to allow users to download the map from your server. Check the casing on darkrp, as in make sure the captilization is the same both in autoexec and in the gamemodes folder. If that doesn't work, provide the structure of your DarkRP folder.

How do you want me to go about doing that? Is there some kind of button for that or do I just type it out? Would it just be easier to do Skype or Teamviewer?

[QUOTE=AceAldridge;40006947]How do you want me to go about doing that? Is there some kind of button for that or do I just type it out? Would it just be easier to do Skype or Teamviewer?[/QUOTE] You can set net_maxfilesize just like you did the other parameters, in autoexec or in the command line. You have to options with downloads, you can allow clients to download from a webserver, or directly from the game server. SRCDS limits downloads directly from the game server to 20kb/s. If you have a map that's already exceeding net_maxfilesize then you don't want your clients waiting hours to download the map from the server. And for the casing just check the folder name in gamemodes, make sure you don't have "daRkrP" in gamemodes and "DarkRP" in autoexec, if that doesn't work, check what you have inside of the DarkRP folder in gamemodes. It should be [code]/content /entities /gamemode DarkRP.txt How to install.txt README.md changelog.txt icon24.png logo.png[/code]

On my TTT server, I tried to do FastDL from a webserver and I just couldnt get it to work. Not sure why. My casing is correct, as is the inside of the folder.

Have you made any changes to DarkRP? Do you have the latest version?

No changes, and yes, latest version, to the best of my knowledge [editline]23rd March 2013[/editline] Bump?

I added you on steam, if the casing is proper on the gamemode name, and you have it properly configured in autoexec, then there shouldn't be an issue.

"DarkRP" needs to be lowercase, i.e. "darkrp" I've overlooked this before, spend hours searching for a non-existent problem.
