REHLDS is not working

hmm. do u mean metamod-r or rehlds? if u mean really rehlds - check this repo.

anyway.. strange. please, write:

• your os
• version of svencoop
• server's build\rehlds ver.
• filename of svencoop

and i will try to reproduce it.

or check filename with this file manually.

Type	Windows	Linux
Sven Coop (Old)	hl.dll	hl.so
Sven Coop (Steam)	server.dll	server.so

Not working :c

@Manapo74 tommorow (2018/03/10) i will try to reprpduce it. sorry for my long testing, at this week i havent free time :(

i will use this params to download original server:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "C:\SvenDS" +app_update 276060 validate +exit

and my future enveroment:

1. windows 10, x64
2. fully disabled windows defender\firewall
3. first server: original svencoop (from steamcmd) + latest metamod-r
4. second server: original svencoop (from steamcmd) + latest rehlds + latest metamod-r

---

i will feedback about my tests here.

@Manapo74, I catched and partially confirmed your problem and found one additioanal bug in metamod-r.

to fully resolve your problem - use metamod-r and rehlds. and server will not be crashed.

but second bug it does not apply directly to the svencoop - it's global bug in metamod-r. i think, soon it will be fixed.

and to run svencoop server now please additioanal create a copy of your servers.dll file with hl.dll filename. it is temprorary workaround.

closing this issue.

Hello, thanks. But ReHLDS is not working on svencoop :(

I am get this error:

Start.bat:
hlds.exe -game svencoop -port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +sv_lan 0 +map hl_c01_a1

P.S.: I started the server without rehlds, but now I can't spawn in spawnpoint. Map: hl_c01_a1
Error:

:(

ReHLDS is not working on svencoop

we know. sad but true. #17

rehlds is working. but only with maps that are not have oveloaded limit of precache. if u load map as crossfire - all be ok. i test it. this 512-limit - is engine's limit. if u play multiplayer-based maps - all be ok too. 'cause they are created under this limit. but standalone-based maps has other limit - 1024 or more (i forget). and if u try to load singleplayer or other ovelimited map on (any type server: original or rehlds) - u catch this error too. but svenccop has modiffed limits (i dont know how) from 512 to 1024 or more for play singleplayer-based maps at multiplayer.. i think u can ask rehlds team to add more perecahe limit to rehlds. it will be awesome.

but. metamod-r working correctly only with rehlds. and have no guaranties that metamod-r will be stable with stock-hlds (6xxx or 7xxx). I tested it and can show this table:

Running metamod-r with some enviromets

game	hlds 6xxx	hlds 7xxx	rehlds
Half-Life 1	👍	👍	👍
SvenCoop 5.x	👎	👎	👍
