Slmod- multiplayer server mod for new mission logic functionality

[jeffdude]

Our server recently started having issues were SLMOD could no longer track team kills. No message pops up and no auto kicks work anymore. The .LOG file shows errors grabbing playername. Is anyone else seeing this?

[Grimes]

I would need log files to get an idea of what the problems are to see if its something I can fix or if it needs a bug report.

Any chance of getting this updated for 1.5 soon?

[Grimes]

Possibly. 24 hours ago I didn't know what needed to be changed in order for me to actually work on it, now I do. I'll upload something to github once I start getting the basics working. From there it will be down to testing and fixing everything else...

Thanks Grimes. As you know there have been many missions created that rely on chat commands and that's the feature I would most like to see available with 1.5.

Thanks a lot Grimes! Much appreciated.

Ok a quick status update.

 

I'm sorry its taken so long, its been a lot of finding a problem, figuring it out, realizing something hasn't been converted yet, wait for patch, attempt fix, and repeat. Sometimes the fix I needed wasn't there, other times it was there but the expected variables were a little messed up. And a friendly reminder that Speed wrote slmod and I've really only messed with the stats code and nothing else. Suffice to say I've used "find in files" quite a bit to figure out how stuff functions across multiple files.

 

I'm getting pretty close. Right now the big hurdle is the chat messages. Specially accepting certain chat commands and logging chat messages. For example kick by player name isn't working, while kick by ID is, BUT the kick by ID command isn't correctly showing a list of options like it is supposed to. There is also some other minor stuff like the current mission name isn't known because a function to get it isn't available yet and the full stats display has some formatting issues. I haven't fully tested stats yet, but it appears to be tracking flight time and kills against ground AI with non-guns weapons. Right now my priority is getting the admin side of slmod working to at least be functional.

 

If I solve some of these problems I hope to at least get an initial version out very soon. I'll likely make a release thread in the multiplayer server administration sub-section since slmod is more relevant there than it is here.

Thanks sir!

Does it force pilots to use radio for taxi, landing and landing ? etc

[sslechta]

I don't believe the older version did that. So I would say no.

I have a problem when trying to enter the password for admin, in the server it works perfect, but in any client PC, when I type -reg and click enter, then show me the message to type the password, etc and inmediately another message INVALID PASSWORD, DO NOT RE-ENTER THE PASSWORD .... type -reg again.

 

Any idea? maybe a delay variable, or something typing double enter after the -reg?

Bug: -admin commands don't work and register with a missing last character, cutting off the last letter

 

Example: -admin doesn't work but -adminn will

-admin pause doesn't work but -admin pausee will

-admin load doesn't work but -admin loadd will

Hi all!

 

I have a friend with these specs: Athlon IIx2 280, 12GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, 750Ti

 

With Slmod on he has significant FPS drops from 70-80 to 30-40 which makes the game process quite disturbing. We thing that the main problem is his CPU, but i want to ask, maybe there's a "key for the tent" somewhere :)

 

Cheers!

I am having the same issue now, can't recall after which update it started doing it as it was working fine before. What I found is that it does need an extra character no matter what that character is.

 

Ex. -admin doesn't but -adminx -admind -adminn or any other extra character will work, same for the other commands as

-admin pause doesn't work but -admin pausee -admin pausek -admin pauseq or any other extra character will work. No biggie as long as you remember to add that extra character.

Is this default SLMOD thread for installation and support or it is better to go here?

Thanks for the link shamndgg, however, happy to report with the latest release 7.6 everything is working good again. :)

[Shaman]

Wow, you are welcome :) My question was not rethorical. I actually was seeking to install SLMOD myself on my PC at home and was just starting to figure out where to go for latest version and support to it. You must be much more ahead then me :)

Slmod! Help

 

I have installed Slmod 7.0, dowloaded, extracted, moved folder Scripts to "..\Saved Games\Dcs" as the "manual" mentioned, but this just DON'T WORK!

 

Nothing really happens!

 

I tried install Mist, Moose as well nothing happens! I Don't know, i'm using DCSW 1.5.3, fully updated... and ........... pfff

 

I have put the "Scripts" Folder Inside "DCS" folder that is inside "My Saved Games"

I created a simple mission, created a server and launched the server as mentioned

Then i returned to folder "DCS" in "Saved Games' and there is no a newly created "SLMOD" folder and no a new "Config.Lua" file.

 

So... ?

Have you checked ..\Saved Games\DCS to see if the Slmod folder was created? It should have been created automatically after you moved the Scripts folder there and then launched DCS World.

[Grimes]

The version of slmod posted by Speed is no longer compatible with DCS. I've been updating it and created a separate thread for it. Give the version from the linked page a try.

OMFG! This finally worked! Yep, i've donwloaded your "scripts" folder, and in the first attempt to launch my server, Slmod messages has popped on my chat screen, "saved games\DCS", now has a Slmod folder with proper files inside!

 

Thank you Grimes!

[deadlyfishes]

SLMOD has been treating my server very well. Can't go without it if you're hosting a public server for sure!

 

I do have one question, how can I lock the "Game Master" slot to admin only?

 

I understand there was a lock unit to admin, but there is no unit name or group name for game master, that I know of.

[mblackham]

New to slmod and bit flumaxed... just trying to use -admin restart

 

Message shows that " admin "name" is restarting the mission but then nothing happens.

 

Admin tools set to true in config
