Player Models in Server works for be and nobody else
41 replies, posted
In the server I am running in right now, I configured the files, to what my knowledge leads me to believe, properly. I can see all of the files properly, but nobody else who joins the server can. The models look like nothing more than giant error signs to them, and even to me, they look significantly darkened if not completely black. Here is what I have done so far:
- Added the addons to the addons folder in /garrysmod.
- Configured the .lua file so that it has the resource.AddFile lines for what needs to be downloaded.
- Restarted the server.
All the while my friends tell me that they cannot see the skins in pointshop or when I use them. Along with that, the skins disappear instead of ragdoll upon death.
Any and all help is appreciated!
All models and materials must be extracted to the garrysmod/garrysmod/ folder, NOT garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/
I just did that, but nothing has changed. I'm faced with the same issue.
Do you use fastdl? Who do you host with?
I use FastDL and my host is Embercore.
Oh, by the way, it's a Trouble in Terrorist Town server, in case that changes things.
Make sure you put the models on the fastdl server as well.
I did.
Have you set sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload to 0 in your server.cfg, as well as your sv_downloadurl "" to your fastdl url?
Ah, as you can see in my thread below, I am having a similar problem.

Apparently, developers/programmers fall into a stupor when they see threads like this. I've come across similar threads and they have all remained unsolved.

You didn't elaborate on this. Show the bit where you wrote those out.
Did you download the files from the FastDL? If so I may have found the problem.
Recently I have noticed an increasing amount of servers which I was not able to download the FastDL contents correctly. Because of that I researched a long time, coming to the conclusion that no one has had the exact same problem as me.
[b] When you look in console after joining you will see an HTTP ERROR in red. If you do not see this, this post will NOT help you. [/b]
My problem was that I did not update garrys mod to steam pipe properly, leading to the downloads not going to the right folder. I fixed this by renaming C:\program files\steam\steamapps\<username>\garrysmod to garrysmod_old and hit the "delete local game content" button for garrys mod on steam. It went through an update (which takes forever), then it fixed my problem.
That wouldn't make sense. This issue doesn't affect me because I have all of the files already. Nobody else does because FastDL isn't enforcing a download on the clients that join the server, therefore the clients can't download the files and the files end up being given a giant error sign.
Do you want help or not; I have dealt with this issue millions on times, post your server.cfg.
Also, when you get the HTTP error shit, it's because gmod cannot find the file to actually download, so it will repeat it self over and over for each listed item for download. Also, the fact that you have everything is most likely because you [b]already[/b] have the files. Now for real, if you want help, post your cfg, and show where you defined the
[code]
sv_downloadurl ""
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_allowupload 1
[/code]

Actually, when I steam piped my garry's mod, it fixed all my personal FastDL problems. I was on this darkrp (kill me, i know) server forever, downloading all these files, but when I got in, all of the models/textures were errors.
Oh my goodness. Think about this.
[code]
sv_allowdownload "0"
[/code]
How is this logical at all.
Change it to a 1 (YES).
By default, it was set to that.
Okay, well, change it to 1. If it's a 0, it means no one can download..
Did it, changed map to apply settings, no progress.
Restart the server, always restart after altering your server.
Still no progress.
Define "no progress", are you getting the same console errors?
Also, [img]http://puu.sh/4DG8t.png[/img]
You either don't have the files in the right directory, or they don't exist.

Nope.

And it's not that I'm getting any console errors. I'm not getting console errors. The other guys are seeing errors as character models instead of what they should be seeing, which is a maskless and masked version of The Lich King and 5 different colors of Mjolnir Mark VI Spartan Armor.
What does your remote host say, in that screen shot, paste it here. I have a feeling your sv-downloadurl is incorrect.
You mean the location that is defined as "Remote Site"?
The only part of the location that you can't see is the IP of my server, which I could assume is correct.
Well, for example, even this directory [url]http://74.121.181.67:8080/fastdl2/GavinA/533/[/url] doesn't work. What In the screenie you posted, what is the entire "Remote site: ".
For me, that gives a 403 error, because you can't just go to that without using embercore or FileZilla.
[editline]30th September 2013[/editline]
And again, the only part of the Remote Site that isn't visible is the IP of my server.
*facepalm* I give up on you. All I can tell you is your
[code] sv_downloadlurl
[/code] is set wrong.
