Server quits - mani admin install

[Bort]

I have followed this tutorial step by step:
http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/6599

I have found that the server stops responding when I add these lines (just one crashes it - tried them both one at a time) to either of the cfg files:
Mani addons/mani_admin_plugin/bin/mani_admin_plugin_mm
to metaplugins.ini

or
exec mani_server.cfg
to server.cfg

um...sup? anyone know the cause? It's probably something I'm doing wrong although I made sure I followed the tutorial step by step. I actually performed both methods...maybe that's what I did wrong?

You dont need need to use metamod. Just download the files off the mani site and drag and drop the folders in the correct dir.

Dont use: Mani addons/mani_admin_plugin/bin/mani_admin_plugin_mm

Try without.
(Use the line with __.)

[Bort]

Like
Mani addons/mani_admin_plugin/bin/mani_admin_plugin_ ?

"mm" calls metamod?
Will try and post the results.
Doin this doesn't cause the server to crash. However...how do you get the thing to load?

Doing this doesn't cause the server to crash. It seems to be working now. However...how do you get the thing to load?

The plugin? Put exec mani_server.cfg in autoexec.

Autoexec? I do not have an autoexec file.

This thing is supposed to work for Day of Defeat:Source, right?

*bump*
This thing still isn't running.
I have metamod installed although I'm not sure it's running. How do I check to see if metamod is running? That might be the problem.
SourceMod is also installed and I know it runs due to it being listed in HLSW and "meta versions" reports the version.

[realchamp]

Open your metaplugins.ini

Put this line in

Code:

addons/mani_admin_plugin/bin/mani_admin_plugin_mm

And then use the Metamod installing guide to configurer your gameinfo.txt (Located in: ~/dir/srcds/)

Put in this line:
Or just copy this and then paste it into the file.

Code:

"GameInfo"
{
    game    "Counter-Strike Source"
    title    "COUNTER-STRIKE'"
    title2    "source"
    type multiplayer_only
    nomodels 1
    nohimodel 1
    nocrosshair 0
    hidden_maps
    {
        "test_speakers"        1
        "test_hardware"        1
    }
    nodegraph 0


    FileSystem
    {
        SteamAppId                240        // This will mount all the GCFs we need (240=CS:S, 220=HL2).
        ToolsAppId                211        // Tools will load this (ie: source SDK caches) to get things like materials\debug, materials\editor, etc.
        
        //
        // The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:
        //
        // 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
        // 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
        //    For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
        // 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
        // 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
        //

        //
        // Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
        //
        // |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
        // We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so
        // people can mount stuff in c:\mymod, and the main game resources are in
        // someplace like c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2.
        //
        SearchPaths
        {
               GameBin            |gameinfo_path|addons/metamod/bin
            Game                |gameinfo_path|.
            Game                cstrike
            Game                hl2
        }
    }
}

Meta_list
Use that in your rcon.
And then it will tell you if your metamod is running.

Thanks, realchamp. metamod is not running. I'll try to install it again. I'm running a dod:s server by the way.

[Bort]

Welp! I'm coming to the conclusion that metamods is junk and just won't work on my server since I've followed the directions to install it 6 times step by step and even though HLSW says it's installed it fails to do anything at all the way all of the documentation I've found on it says it's supposed to. Thanks for the help, I'm going to give it one more try installing mani admin before I completely give up on it. I'd like some kind of admin thing with funvars and mapvote. Does sourcemod have one?
Sourcemod works at least.

[realchamp]

Ohh, Day Of Defeat: Source.

The most of the plugins dont work anymore, since it's running on the Orangebox Engine(Before HL-Engine, Source-Engine)

If you need something to control your server with, you'll need a more Updated plugin, try Sourcemod. (SM)

[Bort]

TYVM, realchamp. That's most likely the answer..they don't have mani admin though I assume. What's everyone that has the orange box servers using to admin besides HLSW?

[realchamp]

I dont know, try google around.

Hlsw, should work.

You can use eventscripts and download XA admin plugin....plus there are many other admin mod scripts already made.

You can also use sourcemod or look for an admin plugin for metamod source.

You can also use beetlesmod.

EDIT: I don't think you can use mani admin plugin for DOD:source anymore since it was updated to work with orangebox. It still works with cs:s though.
