Download the clean map files from http://ren.game-maps.net/tt/ or use those you have on your client, and it should work.

If you are intentionally running different versions, use achash.exe to hash the client files (only those that you modified on the server) and put the hashes in data/anticheat.ini. Note that you may also need to extract the mix files and hash their contents. More details are on the server owner guide and the anti-cheat page on the TT wiki.

Alright. Downloaded all the maps from the site. Put them in the Data folder(server). Joined Server, Don't get the error anymore. TT Doesn't include those maps in the installation(server side)? I'm running the Beta 2(server side). Also have my TT 4.0 Client Side updated fully.

The server package does not include the stock files, because they are quite big altogether, and servers may already have them anyway. I guess it would be appropriate to make some note in a readme.txt file or something though.

Yeah maybe that be a good idea Very Happy

Also ran into another Server problem. I noticed that my server crashes about every 12 hrs. Is there a log that shows why it crashed? Or a log that I can create so I can find out why it's crashing? I usually check up on my box every 12+ hrs to see if everythings ok, and thats how i noticed it crashed around that time.

If it created a crashump in <fds dir>/Renegade/FDS/debug/ then please upload it. Check the memory usage too; others have reported that there is a memory leak on gameover which may cause crashes eventually.

There's no debug file, so that means it's not crashing? Just some other problem? I have no idea how to look for a memory leak lol. I'm not the geeky! lol!! ...Thanks for the help so far {^_^}

I'm not sure why it's crashing if it's not generating a dump. I am guessing it is indeed the memory leak then. We're working on fixing that.

Alright. When you think that's going to be fixed? Also ran into another problem (Seems like they are non stop lol)...

One day I started the server(because it crashed while I was at work). Went into IRC. noticed I BRenbot didnt say "Server Starting, loading map, level load ok..ect." So i did !gameover NOW, and it report that the game was restarting and didn't report "Server restarting, loading map, level load ok" Seems like it(BRenbot) stopped reporting what the server is doing "player joined..ect." I dont understand whats going on, it worked fine before with no problem! Here's a ss of what BRenbot says when it's started up...

I'm not sure when the memory leak will be fixed. I looked at it a few days back but was unable to find the cause. I haven't had too much time to spend on it the past few days. Sad

It's on the top of my TT todo list though.

It seems that the communication between the FDS and brenbot somehow went wrong. I'm not sure why though. Maybe danpaul can tell what may have caused brenbot to show this behavior?

You think im better off just saving my configured files and re-install everything? I have no problem spending time doing that.

Did the brenbot issue happen multiple times then? I don't think reinstalling it will really solve anything.

Too late already re-installed everything, backed up the files that were configured. Still the same problem. BRenbot never gave me this problem before. All of a sudden I came home one day, noticed BRenbot and FDS were off(maybe crashed) started them up, noticed BRenbot wasn't displaying in irc the server starting up.

also i donwloaded all of those maps in the tt game-maps.net link, also the always files. replaced them in the server data folder, if that helps at all? Read above why i did so..

The maps aren't related to this.

Can you try to close brenbot and press win+r, then type

cmd /K telnet 127.0.0.1 4847

A console window should show up with a connection to the game server. It should spam stuff as things happen in the server. Can you verify if that happens?
