<noob in need>
« on: March 22, 2008, 06:23:23 am »
I hold my hands up, I'm probably the biggest noob going when it comes to servers, mods and scripts. I have been reading over these forums for a while and have tried several things to get scripts to work with the server i purchased not too long ago. Unfortunatly no matter how easy you guys make it seem, it hasn't seemed to work for me. I am making this post in hope that someone will be kind enough to take a bit of time and talk to me, let me know how it is done.

my msn address is waagwan@googlemail.com

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the useless post.

[edit]

The server is being hosted by enesce.com I'm not sure if that will help, if anyone has experience with these servers maybe they can narrow down the kind of problem I'm having. Its probably something stupid >.<

Whats the exact problem? Server wont start, script wont enable, script crashes all the time, etc?

Firstly, I made a subfolder in the scripts folder on the ftp server, uploaded the pas file and includes.txt file. It didnt work, so i tried another, this one, crashed my server repeatedly until i removed it.

if the server crashed, it means your script worked.
The bad thing is that the script is probably screwed 8)

:D thats what I thought. I've had an unexpected visitor today, my brother came around and showed me how to get it done, I got it working. However, if I am to add more scripts, do i have to update the Includes.txt file and put it in the same folder as the other .pas file or make a new subdirectory? he said he wasn't sure about this.

You just make a new subdirectory, each folder has its own includes.txt

You could put in other scripts either way, but the subdirectories one is by far neater and easier to locate scripts

and less bug-friendly

there's a high chance of getting stuff like "duplicate identifier" if you stick lots of .pas files in the same folder (and include them in Includes.txt)
