Having trouble pooling a networkstring...

[Marmigamed]

So, my friends and I have been working on a TDM gamemode lately it was all fine until, we encoutered trouble with the loadout menu. (someone changed it)

Now even thought the net message is pooled serverside. the game still says its not.

[ERROR] gamemodes/tdm/gamemode/cl_loadout.lua:150: Calling net.Start with unpooled message name! [http://goo.gl/qcx0y]
  1. Start - [C]:-1
   2. unknown - gamemodes/tdm/gamemode/cl_loadout.lua:150

on line 150 in cl_loadout.lua

	net.Start( "RequestWeapons" )
	net.SendToServer()
	local received = false

in sv_loadout(the server side script) yes its included inside init.lua

util.AddNetworkString( "RequestWeapons" )
util.AddNetworkString( "RequestWeaponsCallback" )

(weapon tables are here)

net.Receive( "RequestWeapons", function( len, ply )
	net.Start( "RequestWeaponsCallback" )
		net.WriteTable( primaries )
		net.WriteTable( secondaries )
	net.Send( ply )
end )

Anybody understands our problem?

try put AddNetworkString in same file as net.Start instead of server file

I've noticed that some functions may have trouble to run properly, if they're ran early at the top of a script.

That's just something that I've encountered, so I don't know if that's it..

What I mean is that, when you run a function early, at the top of the script. Where the client/server just have started reading it. Then the client/server may have problems to execute the function that you ask it to run. As an example, I don't think that anything will happend if you run vgui.Create at the first line.

if SERVER then util.AddNetworkString( "RequestWeapons" ) util.AddNetworkString( "RequestWeaponsCallback" ) end

you need to define it serverside, like this.

thank me later

Are you sure the serverside code is loading?
This was happening to me the other day until i realised the serverside code wasnt loading on a linux machine because of the files and folders having mayus letters. Try lowering all the letters from the files and putting a print outside of everything and seeing if that prints in the console. If it doesnt the serverside code isnt loading at all.

Why would only a portion of the script be loaded doesn't make sense.

I don't need to define it as server side since its not a shared file.

We are running on windows, so I don't think that mayus letters are an issue :/
But will try it :) tho it would be weird that an included code, doesn't load..

Sorry for late reply, I was out to work.
