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