cannot create game server on linux

[aaptel]

Hi,

I've managed to build xash3d (master bcd55ee ) in 32bit under a 64bit Linux system (openSUSE 42.2)
but I was getting errors with some system calls. The directory entry written
by readdir() assumed large file support (file size >2GB) and so would
fail everytime xash3d called it, effectively making listdirectory()
silently always return 0 entries. I had to set CFLAGS to

-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

To work around this. Final build command was:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DHL_SDK_DIR=../hlsdk -DXASH_SDL=yes -DXASH_VGUI=yes \
           -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-m32 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" \
           -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-m32 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" \
           -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-m32" ../
make

and it built properly.

mkdir ~/xash3d
cp engine/libxash.so \
   game_launch/xash3d \
   mainui/libxashmenu.so \
   ../hlsdk/linux/vgui.so \
   vgui_support/libvgui_support.so \
   ../xash3d.sh \
   ~/xash3d

I have installed and run at least once counter-strike on both linux
(native steam provided by valve) and windows and so I have a copy of
the Half-life valve & cstrike folder for both versions.

I've tried copying them over ~/xash3d

#
# clear, copy linux steam files, and see what dll&so we have
#
cd ~/xash3d
rm -rf valve cstrike && cp -r hl-steam-linux/{valve,cstrike} .
find valve cstrike -iname '*.so*' -or -iname '*.dll*'

Returns this:

valve/cl_dlls/particleman.so
valve/cl_dlls/gameui.so
cstrike/cl_dlls/client.dll
cstrike/cl_dlls/client.so
cstrike/dlls/cs.so
cstrike/dlls/cs_amd64.so
cstrike/dlls/mp.dll

Now if I run the game I have a popup with these errors:

cl_dlls/client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
libtier0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can click OK and it continues to load and run. The game opens, I can
go in LAN and Create a game but the screen doesnt change when I create
the game. Full log:

After I create the game I can see in the log the models are loaded and
everything but my screen is still in the "create server" menu, where I
can navigate but not play!

If run click on "create server" again it says one is already running
and saying OK will stop that one to create a new. OK again will do
what is said, but same result: I'm still in the menu. There is written
"Dedicated Server" at the bottom but I see no checkbox or anything
that indicates if this option is on or off :/

Any ideas?

You can't run client library from CS 1.6.

You should build Xash Dedicated Server(Pass -DXASH_DEDICATED=1 to cmake).

I think I explained myself wrong. I just want to play CS 1.6 on LAN from linux and I'm not able to. This is supposed to be possible right? I'm not interested in a dedicated server, just want to create a LAN game, play and have other xash3d CS players join from my LAN.

Right now when I create a multiplayer game from the menu I never leave the menu.

I don't support cs16-client on other platforms than mobile. Original client don't work on Xash3D due to undocumented GoldSrc engine features. So there is no supported way to play locally or through Internet. 28 сент. 2017 г. 10:47 ДП пользователь "aaptel" <notifications@github.com> написал:

How hard would it be to add support of cs16-client to linux? I think if the android port works it shouldn't be too hard.

[a1batross]

It's not hard. Mostly it even works(on my dev machine).
But I'm just not interested in this and even keeping cs16client open source too.
