I've been trying for a while now to get SB3 load on a Debian server (using latest linux binaries) without success. All of the required addons (all fresh from the SVN) load fine, but SB3 does not. If I try to load it in-game using CAF I receive a 'nil' error. The exact same setup for the addons folder loads SB3 fine on a Windows listen server. Has anyone else successfully ran a SB3 server on Linux?

I guess that has something to do with linux being more case sensitive to upper and lower case.

Can you post exact error messages? May help where to look.

Well the only way I know how to get any message to appear is if I try to enable SBP using the CAF window in-game, which gives the error 'Couldn't Enable the Addon for the following reason: nil' What should I do to get a more informative error message?

1)maybe there is something else written to the console (like an lua error code or whatever)
2) this helps alot to isolate the error!

All other addons load fine? You can activate & deactive them with no additonal errors?

Going to check the code and if needed make some adjustements to give a better error message, since the one doesn't really give a clue what's going on..

any updates?

I found this in the console:

...ddon/lua/CAF/Core/shared/sh_general_caf.lua:385: Can't create non-existing class <base2>

i hope this helps a bit

edit:

its something directory based. changing the dir with ../ didnt work

hm.... i remember a systax diffrence in the comandline between DOS and Linux.... changing directory to the next upper level was "cd .." instead of "cd.." maybe ist something similiar like ".. /" instead of "../".

But i haven´t spent much on Linux since my last try on Suse Linux 8.2 .... maybe i should.... maybe if i have more time....

i change the code a bit, now it found the files and show no error - but it still didnt work

i have no glue whats the reason is...



snake, if you need a linux server for testing, pm me

Tnx, I will let you know. But exams are starting for me this weekend, will take about 2 weeks. After that I'll let you know

Should help a lot to find out where the problem is. It's probably something really stupid

i testet a another thing:

i copy the gmod server at a fat32 patition, that make linux case-insensitive‎, but it still didn't work.
