Bug: Deathmatch Classic (DMC) dedicated server, multiple issues.

Open Mecha-Weasel opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Multiple issues with Deathmatch Classic (DMC):

  • Server shows on the Steam client server list, but as "HL Server" instead of anything reflecting DMC.
  • Trying to launch game from Steam client server list, says something like "this server is not running any game".
  • Trying to show server info in Steam client server list, says something like "this server is not running any game".
  • Viewing server info from server list inside the DMC client, displays fine.
  • Connecting to server from server list inside the DMC client, connects fine.
  • Can connect, however the game is completely unplayable.
  • Player walks onto plats, they move but the player doesn't - as if the player is non-solid to the plats or vice-versa?
  • Player can not pick-up any weapons or power-ups - as if the player is non-solid to the items or vice-versa?

My environment is:

  • Linux dedicated server installed from SteamCMD.
  • Debian 10 operating system.
  • Not sure if Windows dedicated servers are also affected.

Looks like this has been an on-going thing for a long time. Rolling back to a very old version of the dmc.so file fixes everything (fortunately another admin had saved it and shared it with me).

PS: Here's a drop-box link to a zipped copy of the old version of dmc.so if any Linux dedicated server operators need it:
