Help with ServerPackages

[Emperor]

I'm trying to run a LAN with my friend and the game keeps crashing when I try to launch a LAN Server, so I don't know what to do, is their some sort of limit or what? I'm going to play the list here.

Lil Help?

What's the server log output? If there's no error showing, and the log just stops in the middle, it's most likely caused by to many ServerPackages. I've experienced that before, with ServerPackages aswell as with ServerActors. Note that there's no general exact limit, as it depends on your machine and it's available resources. Judging from your huge amount of ServerPackages, I'm pretty sure that this is your problem

Yeah it cuts off, Great, so I can't have everything in the list? ... and this is limitation of the Engine? is their a work around?

For better scrollability ....

I didn't look into it further, so I can't tell you why exactly the server load up stops. As I said, I tried a little bit around and I can say for sure that there is some kind of a limit after which the server won't start up anymore, and that this limit is dependent on the server specs/OS/setup. I moved my gameserver to a different host and therefore copied all files + config files to the new machine, not a single bit was changed, and the server wouldn't start up. The new server was a Windows machine while the old one was on Linux. I used to fix this by removing some ServerActors and manually spawning them later by one of my own mods. This won't work for ServerPackages though, as they must be set in order for the package to be loaded server- and clientside. All you could possibly do is to recompile the stuff into one package.

EDIT: I remember that it seemed to me that this is related to a Character limit. As I shortened the name of some mods, the server would start up again.

In the end, this won't help you much as I can only recommend you to remove as many Packages as possible until the server starts up again.

I've managed to start a LAN match with either all the Skins but disabled all NaliWeapons, so I have to use what is on the List, or use a selected replacement Naliweapons but disable some skins from the serverpackages to launch. :/

For most things UT, 32 is the limit. From what i'm seeing of your list, you seem to have everything up you could ever possibly use loaded... but unless you're using all that for every single game you've got too much listed.

I'd suggest keep to the basics, and only load up what mutators you need for a particular day's gameplay...

...or, if you are on a LAN, you could save time and just copy all the .u files to each computer's UnrealTourament/System folder.

How about using a dynamic package loader? Or use cacus mapvote (which help cut down the server packages, nicely) or MapvoteX?

My friend uses a exe thru lan so he doesn't need to run it on his PC, just runs it thru LAN with his settings.

I'm using XMaps for that.

I'm wonder how much memory takes server to load all those files. Still have free memory ? We can build a list with all mods from Skillz and load them all as Packages. Why not, right ?

Now a question: Why you don't post these jokes in a desired section ? (You might create such a funny thread.)

First thing that should be done is showing your ucc.log or server.log file messages, otherwise presumptions won't help anyone in helping you. By example I'm not a candidate to waste time in recreating your configuration to see what's the deal in crash-log.
