Addon init file not found?

[ajg0702]

I am somewhat new to Lua, and this is my first folder addon. When I load the server, nothing happens. When I try to run it manually with lua_openscript, it says the file is not found. This is only happening on my dedicated server, singleplayer works fine. Here is the GitHub: [url]https://github.com/ajgeiss0702/GMapRotate[/url]

(you mist call this function from server, not client)

[ajg0702]

Thank you for the reply, (I have changed that now) but the server still cannot find the file.
I have placed everything in that GitHub into a folder in the add ons folder.

it's still the same on the github. Also, you need two separate if client/server statements.

AddCSLuaFile( "nextmap/cl_nextmap.lua" )

if SERVER then
    include("nextmap/sv_nextmap.lua")
    include("nextmap/sv_config.lua")
end

if CLIENT then
    include("nextmap/cl_nextmap.lua")
end

Post the error

[ajg0702]

Running script autorun/nextmap_init.lua...
Couldn't include file 'autorun/nextmap_init.lua' (File not found) (<nowhere>)

[JasonMan]

No part in your code attempts to include autorun/nextmap_init.lua, when does that error show up?
IIRC lua_openscript only runs scripts in your root lua folder

[ajg0702]

Ok, thanks.
nextmap_init.lua is in autorun, so the server should run it automatically, right?

It is still not running, so whats wrong?

First make sure it's not running (Print at the top of the file)
Then make sure the directory is proper (addons/base_directory/lua)
(If your server is on a Linux system) Then make sure your base directory is written in lowercase as uppercase symbols can cause issues

Thank you! I will try those things soon. I am running my dedicated server on linux, so I made the folder lowercase.

[B][U]I can confirm that the init is not running[/U][/B]
is anyone going to help me?

If everything is right, the code would run.
What's the path to your code?

[ajg0702]

[QUOTE=JasonMan34;52287197]If everything is right, the code would run.

The path is (starting from server root) garrysmod/addons/gmaprotate
Everything in GitHub is in that folder

What about lua/autorun/server

[ajg0702]

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;52289153]What about lua/autorun/server[/QUOTE]

What do you mean? Shoulder the files just in the auto running folder be executed by the server already? I know it works because when i run it in single player, it works fine.

Well then clearly something on the server is not set up right.
That code ran perfectly fine when I put it on my server's addons folder

What wouldn't be set up right on the server? Any ideas?

Something New! It is running now, but with a completely different problem. Should I create a different thread?
