If you need any more, just post here...
Since Windows Vista doesnt support .cfg's, I renamed them .ini, I first thought that was the problem, but it isnt.
I re-downloaded it, opened all of the cfg's with Notepad (unchecked the always open with this box) and just copied and paste evrything from the ini's...

Ummm... the renaming of them to ini files is a problem.

Here is a line of code from the admin.amxx source
It execs the cfg file. If the file is a cfg file, then it has to be a cfg file for the plugin to load it correctly. You only choice is to downgrade to WinXP

EDIT: I found it in the war3ft source. Here is the call for the war3ft.cfg file
If it can't find the file names war3FT.cfg, it does not load the plugin

I already opened them with Notepad (not always open with Notepas option) and edited it there... its still a cfg file, so it shouldnt be a problem.

New info: I checked the map logs
L 02/09/2007 - 17:35:01: Info (map "cs_estate") (logfile "error_020907.log")
L 02/09/2007 - 17:35:01: [AMXX] Plugin ("war3ft.amxx") is setting itself as failed.
L 02/09/2007 - 17:35:01: [AMXX] Plugin says: A required file is missing, unable to load plugin

Code: Select all

public _CVAR_ExecuteConfig()
{
	// Format our config file
	new szConfigFile[64];
	get_configsdir( szConfigFile, 63 );
	add( szConfigFile, 63, "/war3ft/war3FT.cfg" );

	// Make sure the config file exists!
	if ( file_exists( szConfigFile ) )
	{
		server_cmd( "exec %s", szConfigFile );
	}
	else
	{
		log_amx( "[ERROR] Config file '%s' missing!", szConfigFile );
		set_fail_state( "Config file is missing, unable to load plugin" );
	}
}

If it can't find the file names war3FT.cfg, it does not load the plugin

Just made an edit

I checked another log:
Cannot find wc3.css


Where does it go? I downloaded it

Btw, cant you just edit it so it will open .ini?

it goes in your base folder. The folder with your server.cfg and your liblist.gam files.

You may be able to edit it, but then you would also have to edit all of the amxx plugins as well. Cause, if you don't have the amxx.cfg file, if won't load any settings that you place in there. It won't stop the server, it just won't load them.

Vista is stupid

*cough*agree*cough*

It still doesnt work...

I can post a binary log...[/small]

What error are you recieving now? Look in the amxx log report, not the error_??????.log report.

Then why do you use it?

I didnt install it, my brother did...

Missing Sound file, I now know where to look

Since Windows Vista doesnt support .cfg's

WHATTTTTTTTTT ????? !?!?!?!?!?!

Lol spam? Whats your point?

Then hurt him. If it is your computer, why does he touch it?

What sound file? They should be located in your sound/warcraft3/ if I am not mistaken

I know, sound and sprite files from 2.3.2 . It works 100% now, thanks for all your help YamiKaitou

offtopic: sorry, i didn't think about it

just to be sure....the crash wasnt caused by the "missing compatibility" of wc3ft mod and vista but of the missing sound/sprite files....am i right?
just want to know that for the future...

It was caused by not having the required files. I still wouldn't recomend using Vista until VALVe updates their end for it. Who knows what effects Vista will have on HLDS

Well, it crashes as soon as someone joins. But I have another server and that has Windows Server 2003 installed on it

Yep, CS, HL, DOD and Ricochet work fine

binary logging... check the sticky

I know, I read it, but I missed step 2

TBH, that wasn't spam. I find it bizarre that you would randomly rename all the files in a plugin, and a mod, and expect it to just 'work'. Then, post a bug report about it?!?!?!!

What do you mean Vista doesn't support .cfg files? You mean double clicking them doesn't open up notepad by default? Work out a way to do it, that's not the plugin's fault.

If you seriously cannot use .cfg files in Vista -- and I've found no evidence to back that up even after several web searches, but please feel free to correct me with a link -- then you're going to be well and truly hosed when it comes to steam, hlds, cstrike, amxmodx, and probably every even semi-large application that involves config files. If you can play CS on Vista then there are no problems with cfg files, because, newsflash, CS uses cfg files for all sorts of stuff too.

TBH, I'm with mexy on this one.

You should go back and install amxx and wc3ft with the files supplied and try it before randomly messing about with file extensions and filing bug reports.

thats exactly why i asked my question....cause i coulnd't believe that vista does not support all the files XP does or at least cannot handle with them....
thank you anders_dog

Yea, missing sprites, sounds, etc, will stuff up hlds pretty hard. Odd how it doesn't seem anywhere near as picky about missing textures, but... w/e.

Vista doesnt see .cfg's as configure files, yes, I can open them with NotePad but I didnt think of that in the time. + CS can open .cfg's even if I cant. You cant open a NotePad file of over 1 GB, it will cause your Windows to crash. Steam can though. And I didnt randomly mess with it, I know what I'm doing. I'm just a newb in CS servers, I played CS for more than 4 years (HAD it for more than 4 years, didnt play that long)

Btw, WHAAATTTTTTTT ?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!????????????
IS classed as spam, it's just how admins or mods think.

Please point me in the general direction of that 1GB wc3 or hlds config file.

Do yourself a favour, and install notepad++ -- it's free, tabbed, and has syntax highlighting. XP doesn't "see" .cfg files as config files either, you need to associate it with a program before double-clicking them opens it up. The only difference here is that you're dealing with a fresh system install, so those file associations aren't in place.

Just go back and use the default install for wc3ft and see if there are any errors. From the above it looks like it was all resolved by making sure your sounds and sprites etc were in the correct directories.

Please point me in the general direction of that 1GB wc3 or hlds config file.

It was an example

And my XP did
