woolridge Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 will the server files of patch 1.0.4.2 be able to work and fix the "server runs outdated version..." error? if not then i'll stop watching for new patches because it got more and more unreliable with every new patch since 1.0.2.4 which one was the last patch that didn't take me several hours to get it ready don't get me wrong, the mod itself is great, but when the server files are just to buggy to even start(1.0.4) or just spit out impossible errors (1.0.4.1) it completely kills the morale to play it any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cen Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Server files are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekaboobie Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have had no issues updating. I have gotten the last two versions up and running without issue within 15 minutes of release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geryon Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Modding, upgrading and running a server or two is a labor of love. Sometimes upgrades take minutes and sometimes hours (*cough* 1.0.4.1 with trader typo but it was a rush when I debugged it myself) :) I highly recommend using version control, some sort of merge and diff-tool if you have more than a handful of mods on top of the mod. Even the basic mission.sqm can get you bug eye'd without software assistance. Anyways just my 2 bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow{}Wolf Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The problem you're describing usual happens because you also need to update the CLIENT files for your server too. the @Dayz_Epoch folder needs to be updated. I usually run DayZ Commander to update my client, then copy that folder over to my server, then apply the Server Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it you can open up, for an example, your old mission.sqm file, and see it side by side with the new mission.sqm file, with any differences highlighted in red. Something similar is a must have for making mods work with new version releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolridge Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 i don't even use other mods on top of epoch anymore (used to run sarge ai but till i only got setup problems since 1.0.3+ i don't even try to add that in) so here is what i do when i wanna setup the server for chernarus: 1. creating a folder for it and copy in the contents of my arma 2 and OA installation folders 2. downloading the client files via dayzcommander and the server files via the links of the wiki and adding them into the folder 3. creating a new mysql-database and apply the "epoch.sql" query 4. i configure the configs, init.sqf and hive.ini 5. i copy the config-folder and the related batch file into the main folder 6. i start the server via the batch file (mysql running) 7. i start arma 2 OA beta with dayz epoch activated, try to join the server and promt i get the error about the wrong version (what is riddiculous because i use the same client files for my game as i do for the server) so if someone knows what i am doing wrong may plz tell me...

Shadow{}Wolf Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The process you're describing is correct, but the problem that you're describing is 100% a user error type issue. The only thing I didn't see in your list there is the Binaries folder that comes in the release package. Did you copy the contents of that folder into your server's root directory?

Shadow{}Wolf Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Scratch that, just downloaded the 1.0.4.1 file again from here (i showed a screenshot of 1.0.4b because I had it handy and thought it would be the same). I guess they moved everything from that folder into the main directory in the download now. Nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolridge Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 yep, and therefore i just don't get it why the hell i get this error about wrong version i already double checked that i use the 1.0.4.1 client and server files and the files are correct, the database works and the config files (including hive.ini and init.sqf) are configured as i did in prior updates and there it worked just fine till 1.0.4 came out...

woolridge Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 i don't have a hiveext.log, only a server_log.txt and Arma2OAserver.RPT link to the RPT file(that is around 2mb after only one start and one try to connect): http://ul.to/fbrxqjpi server_log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think I already know the answer to this question but I'm going to ask anyways, and pray. Anything change in the server.pbo or mission.pbo between 1.0.4.1 and 1.0.4.2? If I have to re-add all my scripts again...ugh. (btw awesome patch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 easiest way is to download the 'compare' plugin for notepad++ and browse through the files side by side. easy to identify what you need to patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I like PS Pad text diff. open one file, right click on the other and select text diff with current file. Of course it doesn't have sqf syntax highlighting like NP++ syntax highlighting for NP++: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8680 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
