server infos

[no.6]

Hi there.

I have a new dedicated ESF server up and running. I am not a complete n00b when it comes to running HL mods on dedicated servers, however, I just cant seem to figure out what is going on with my ESF setup.

The basic problem is that when you enter the server and begin play every 'fire' action creates a black box around the actual object/sprite (??).

I am shooting from the hip here but I believe those black boxes are oGL objects that are showing up in game! Also, I can't see very far across the map. The client is continually drawing the edges of the map. This happens to EVERYONE connecting to my server.

So, the obvious culprit is probably a server var right? I'm not too sure as I have run this setup using the default configs that comes with the linux mod and my tweaked configs that alter things like waterfriction, etc.

anybody out there know enough about the setup to give me a hand?

This is probably something really st00pid that I am totally l00sin on.. but...

TIA

oh yeah..

I am running this server on a FreeBSD box emulating liinux. This setup works fine for my cstrike and dod servers so I don't think there is anything going on with my basic environment.

try it out for yourself: 65.117.160.253:27016 (CandyLand) in your esf client.

I recompiled the linux version. Please try it, and tell me if this fixes things.

Thanks for the heads-up on the recompile harSens. That seems to have solved my 'black box' issue. Thanks!

I am gonna try to leave the server up for the weekend here and see how it behaves. Feel free to check it out if you have the time.
