Server configuration tool with a GUI

Where did you install KAG? You have to install it to some directory that doesn't require administrator privileges.

 

C/KAG.

 

Can you try deleting the file /Logs/pid.txt ? Seems that KAG can't write to it for some reason, probably not related to this tool (or maybe KAG for that matter) maybe some other file has it locked? Try it and tell me if it works

Still 'Can't open file for writing logs/pid.txt'

..

 

Try uninstalling the game, deleting the folder (backup anything you may need) and then reinstalling the game. This is an issue related to KAG and/or your PC configuration, the file seems to be locked for writing, or you don't have enough permissions to write to it.

You could try installing to a different folder (the new KAG default is C:\Users\MyUser\KAG).

 

Still not working.

 

It's a problem with your computer then, there's not much I can do for you without more information.
Did you try making a server using the dedicatedserver.bat file? If that fails too, then there is something wrong with your computer config and I can't help you with that.

 

When I use dedicated.bat it doesn't apear in server browser.

 

Then there's something wrong with your computer configuration and I cannot help you with that, I'm sorry. Try it on another computer and uninstalling and reinstalling to another folder. I can't do much more to help you.

 

No change to support Reserved / Spectator slots? Bah!

 

I've yet to see a server that actually uses said feature, so I don't have it quite in my wishlist. Suggestions are of course more welcomed than ranting :)

 

I did suggest it. A while ago. I want to use the feature (and I've seen a few servers which do), but seeing as I run my server through this tool, I can't. :<

 

I've checked previous posts and you did actually suggest that. However I haven't had enough time to implement said feature. I'll let you know when I do :)

I pushed a small update to configure reserved/spectator slots and "enable join when full", however the configuration related to "who" is a privileged user that can join a reserved slot or join when the server is full still has to be configured manually. Spectator slots should be working. Tell me if it doesn't :)

 

Hey guys I am not sure what I am doing but how the hell do you put your kag.exe into the server.exe?.

 

Okay, a bit of weirdness with the server launcher thingy at the moment. The "Console Output" isn't going into the console output thing in the server program, but it's opening up a console window with the console output in it. I wouldn't have much of a problem with this if it didn't mess with the "Players Connected" counter. :<

 

You don't actually put the kag.exe file in the kagserver.exe. They only have to be in the same *folder*.

Read the changelog as it was noted there that output redirection has been removed as it caused some problems. The "players connected" label will be fixed in the next update probably, I'll just use the KAG API to update the number every once in a while.

 

Two problems. First off, whenever I try to create a new gamemode, I can get pretty far into it, but it eventually breaks and an error comes up. Also, when I try to make my own teams and add them to the game, the teams themselves show up in the server, but when you pick them and try to spawn in, the countdown goes to zero and nothing happens. Any help would be great.


One more thing. When you press New Game Mode, the old teams you had come up, so for example if you had 4 teams before and you want to make a gamemode with 2, you're pretty much fucked, because there's no way to delete teams.

 

Have you tried with the most recente release? I've created game modes using the app and I've encountered no such problem. Do keep in mind that playing with configs you don't know, can result in unexpected errors. This app only makes it easier to play with the config, you do have to know what you are doing.

Yes, this is a problem I'm going to try to resolve in a new update. Meanwhile you can delete teams going to the folder for your gamemode and deleting the "MyTeamName" files e.g. "MyTeamName.teamconfig" and "MyTeamName.cfg". In fact, deleting the .teamconfig file will remove it from the teams, but there's no reason to leave the other file there :P

 

hey JackD I can't spawn in my server ether. can you post a video on how to set up spawns?

 

There are 2 possible problems related to the "no spawn" problem.

First, your map has to have spawning points, check the map making tutorial if you are making your own maps. If you download them, and you think they are working, keep reading.

Second, if you created a gamemode using the tool, you have to create also the teams and the classes for each team. That means that you have to click on the "Team editor" and "Class editor" menus on the toolbar and configure the classes sprites, stats, team classes, etc.

Do that and post here if that solved your problem. This is a known issue noted on the release notes, that I will try to fix in a future update.
