[XASECO(2)] Plugin: forceMods v0.5.4

[Ant]

Something strange happened for me with this, I used it quite a lot for a loadscreen picture and it works fine by the way, the problem is that I disabled it in my plugins.xml (got bored of the picture I had, so wanted to go back to the Nadeo loadscreen) then restarted XAseco but the loadscreen was still loading - eventually what worked for me was this - re-enabled the plugin, restarted XAseco (v1.11), used /fmods off, disabled the plugin again, restarted XAseco and then I got what I wanted.

How come just disabling the plugin and restarting XAseco doesn't work though ?

most likely the last loadscreen you had which was the one you used was still in cache as current loadscreen.

Disabling the plugin and restarting XAseco doesnt change the setting on dedi-server. With "/fmods off" dedi-setting is set to default.
Hope its clear now.

Oh ok, I get it now - thanks man

I might use it again one day though if I find a nicer loadscreen.

<forceMods>

	<!-- overrides mod of challenges -->
	<override>true</override>
	
	<!-- one mod can be added to multiple environments -->
	<!-- leave env empty for all environments -->
	<!-- Stadium: env = 1 -->
	<!-- Island: env = 2 -->
	<!-- Speed: env = 3 -->
	<!-- Rally: env = 4 -->
	<!-- Bay: env = 5 -->
	<!-- Coast: env = 6 -->

the content of your zipfile is useless. it just contains some random jpg.
(with bad ' in filename, which might cause some problems to)

pls do research on how to built a proper mod (zipfile).

Hi!

I've been trying to configure forcemods but I can not. I have a server in Gaming Solutions and I'll explain my procedure to put the mod.

Step 1 - In my pc, I edited the file forcemods.xml with Notepad++. He looked like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<forceMods>

	<enabled>true</enabled>
	
	<!-- overrides mod of challenges -->
	<override>true</override>
	
	<!-- one mod can be added to multiple environments -->
	<!-- leave env empty for all environments -->
	<!-- Stadium: env = 1 -->
	<!-- Island: env = 2 -->
	<!-- Speed: env = 3 -->
	<!-- Rally: env = 4 -->
	<!-- Bay: env = 5 -->
	<!-- Coast: env = 6 -->
	<!-- Alpine: env = 7 -->

	<!-- mod1 added to Stadium and Island -->
	<mod>
		<env>1</env>
		<name>DOD</name>
		<enabled>true</enabled>
		<url>http://www.ddstyle.org/mods/DOD.zip</url>
	</mod>
	
</forceMods>

Step 2 - I sent the file forcemods.xml to the server folder GameData
Step 3 - I sent the file plugin.forcemods.php to the server folder GameData\Plugins
Step 4 - In the server, I edited the file plugins.xml and added the line <plugin>plugin.forceMods.php</plugin>

I did tests with other mods and other ways, but nothing worked. I need help. Thanks!

[schmidi]

mod and config are looking good.

Your following steps are incorrect


Step 2 - I sent the file forcemods.xml to the server folder GameData
Step 3 - I sent the file plugin.forcemods.php to the server folder GameData\Plugins



Please try these steps


Step 2 -Upload forcemods.xml to the root server folder (not inside folders)
Step 3 - Upload file plugin.forcemods.php to the folder Plugins

Is it possible that StadiumStartLogoD.dds and other .dds texture modifications don't work with this plugin? Because it freask me out that my mod works perfectly fine offline but when I use it with this plugin it only loads LoadScreen.dds while the other textures like StadiumStartLogoD.dds or StadiumCircuitLogoD.dds don't.

Here is the mod:

Is it possible that StadiumStartLogoD.dds and other .dds texture modifications don't work with this plugin?

no. plugin doesnt care about content of the mod-file.

no. plugin doesnt care about content of the mod-file.

Then explain this:

Offline screenshot:


Online screenshot:


And keep in mind that the loadscreen does work so it's loading the mod for sure online.

[schmidi]

As i said, plugin doesnt care about content. It just takes the url and makes use of dedi-command. If the loadscreen is working, your problem is not related to the plugin nor the controller/server.

I suppose its either the client and/or your mod-file.
