VSP and W:ET on nq 1.2.9 PHP version 5.3.4 MySQL version 5.1.56-log

jemstar · August 14, 2011, 05:23:16 AM

Hi Everyone,

I found this site thru Krillin's post on the VSP website(You seem to know this stuff) and downloaded his version of the vsp core hoiping it would fix the issues i'm having setting it up.

Sorry if this is not the forum for this, let me know if that is the case!

The issiues I was having are:

- vsp_ tables created in mysql db but no data getting written to it
- FTP process resulting in log is empty, game ignored
- therefore the stats page was empty of stats

Since installing the modified core:

- No tables created
- ftp cant dl the etserver.log file (it will dl other files and etserver.log if i point path to entire directory)
- error message is:
Error: Failed to get ftp log from "/8.2.121.145:27960/nq/etserver.log/etserver.log" to "./ftplogs/etserver.log/etserver.log".
Try making the ftplogs/ and logdata/ folder writable by all (chmod 777).

All ftp folders/directories are 777.
In the original instal it would dl the file and create a savestate.php and process data but with the log empty message!!

The reason I installed the new core was I was hoping it would fix the suspected cause of my issues..I'm using php v 5 and mysql v 5.

I made all the changes suggested on VSP forum to get it compatable with newer mysql and php! And that got me as far as I got.

Any suggestiuons, advice of help is greatly appreciated!! I have spent the best part of 6 weeks trying to get this to work!! I have read every forum on the topic I could find and posted on these forums..no replies lol.

I really want this to work...sooo close yet so far!

Thanks,
Jem.

Ok fixed the issues with ftp and table create!!

So now the only issue is it doesnt show any stats!! It parses but get log empty, ignoring

log is set to what the NQ1.2.9 developers say should be compatable with VSP.

So must be a php/mysql issue tables create and parses but no result!!

Thanks again for any help you can provide,

Must set g_logoptions "1024" in nq 1.2.9, so can only use player name not guid or ip but who cares hehehee..I dont!

Thanks Krillin for your new core files, I had made all those changes to the php files but alot easier with your ammended version!!

LMAO. Nice to see you solved your own problem. Being as you did not provide your environment we would not know where to start except to say at the beginning.

Glad you are using our VSP CORE 0.46. It works just the same as the old, providing you follow the instructions provided. And as I recall they have been updated as well.

Good Luck!

Krillin

P.S. Never knew this was going to be needed, so we created a section for V. S. P. for CORE only problems. Most of which can be answered at the V. S. P. Web site the Documentation (F.A.Q) provided in the core package.

Thanks Krillin,

FYI the VSP website is offline as of 15/08/11 so all forum threads i used are no longer available, so this is probably the only resource now available...lol

says:NOTICE: This domain name expired on 08/15/2011 and is pending renewal or deletion

Shame as was very useful!!

I got it done just in the nick of time!!! Working well, colors slightly wrong tho and the accuracy stats also not right..but ev thing else works.

Jem.

Oh and gives the wrong date, i.e 1971-12-29 03:13:44 Do you know how to set the date?

Thanks again!!

Krillin · August 20, 2011, 02:40:50 AM

This information is CONFIRMED. Thanks for the heads up!

I was going to D/L the other media content, but never did. Never thought this would happen again!

I am gonna write the Author and ask him what is in the plans now and if need be I will host the files for downloading, all he has to do is e-mail the media files to me.

I am gonna help anyway I can.

Krillin

jemstar · August 20, 2011, 03:25:39 AM

Thats great to hear..You are a star!!

If need be I have the most recent media files(kept them separate when I downloaded - actually only W:ET media).

Shame to lose all the help threads tho!!

Jem.

Krillin · August 20, 2011, 07:14:52 AM

This is the second time that this has happened to VSP since 2004. And he did not loose his forum data.

VSP is the reason why we use this SMF module for our site. It is kept in a database and easily backed-up and restored as long as he can get a current backup of the database.

I sent an e-mail to the author's e-mail since my last reply requesting the Media Files for V.S.P. and explaining our version of the v0.46 CORE we have on this website and offering help anyway we can.

We will see what he replies with.

Attach a game log file or two in the area provided. 1971 is a coded date within VSP I have noted if it cannot find a date in the log its self. I will need to see a log or two in order to see why this is happening.

Thanks,
Krillin

You will care if someone uses YOUR name and messes up your stats. Or if you change your name and have to do them all over again. lol

Yep true, but the stats are mainly a bit of fun..we dont take them too seriously!! Some hav already messed with each others names hehe...kids!!

I now use a different log so will try and set to ip address again and see if it works in the new log!!

We use them to track users and admins alike. Tracks their playing time as it is required for admins to be active. But if it is for fun, then enjoy. We will see what we can do here.

Thanks again!

If you have your media set, we can use them as ours have gotten corrupted. We were able to reconstruct the packages for Q3A and of course HL (I still have my original files from 2004). If you would care to email them to me, the community would be grateful. But then again, this may be one of the Games which would be dropped from VSP as well as COD and I do not know anyone who uses RTCW. So... If nothing by the end of the year they will no longer be supported.
