temp.log & private slots

[wax108]

Hi,

1. I have configured that my server (linux) should wirte immediatly in the log file. this wokrs so far but I always have a second log file which is called temp.log. I use the log files to generate stats. After generating stats the tool automaticly delets the log file. Why is there a temp.log in my .callofduty/main folder ?

my config:

set g_log "mai.log"
set g_logsync "1"


2. I have 26 slots, 4 of them are private. www.epcgaming.com and ASE shows up 26 publiuc slots but only 22 can connect. I used the same config file on a windows machine earlier and hadn't this prob.

my config:

set sv_privatepassword "XXX"
set sv_privateclients "4"
set sv_maxclients "26"


can anybody help me please ?

Not sure about the temp.log, maybe your host is logging (i.e. via command line)?

As for the private slot issue, ASE and GameSpy doesn't recognize private slots, it'll show sv_maxclients; only the in-game browser accounts for private slots. 22 people can connect without using a password, the remaining four slots will require the player(s) to use a password to join.

that is definitly incorrect. ASE recognizes the private slots. There are hundreds of examples in ASE !!!!

Wiht my windows machine ASE recognized it as well.

here is one example anex: 195.22.74.198:28960

add it to ASE and you will see, it was the first server in my ping list.

a second one 137.224.220.91:28960


So does anyone has a correct solution ?

I don't use ASE, I simply passed you information that was passed to me some time ago. If said information is incorrect I do apologize and will know not to pass it again.

As for the logging issue, I use Windows so again I was just tossing out a possible cause. You might check your stats program, maybe it's doing something differently for Linux (i.e. it creates the temp file). Again, just trying to better understand what's happening.

In reference to the private slot issue, could you elaborate on that. Are you saying that only 22 people can connect to the linux server, whether they enter the private password or not? Private slots do not differ based on server OS so your description of this issue is a bit confusing.

the private slots are working very well, they just displayed in the wrong way.

my stat program is serverstat (www.serverstat.org) it runs on a windows machine at my home . it connects vai ftp to the linux server and download the file. after compiling it deletes the log file. it hasn't anything to do with the log file. the temp.log is there if I compile stats or not.

It hink i will rename the log file in my server sonfig to temp.log, so I might do not have this problem again
