Ah sorry, forgot to mention that.No, the only occurances of ExcludedFromBuild (or just Excluded) in the server .vcproj are for the pre/post build/link tools, and they're set to false anyway.Cheers though-----Original Message----- From: Keeper [mailto:andy at watkins.to] Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2009 8:17 PM To: hlcoders at list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] "server uses different class tables" linux
Do you happen to have any files "excluded" in your project file? If you do, Linux will not know that and include them. Be one of my first places to check. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Watkins [mailto:andy at watkins.to] Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2009 8:17 PM To: hlcoders at list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] "server uses different class tables" linux Hey list, I've got simple question, followed up by a lot of justification: Is there anything apart from the SendProp / RecvProp networking tables, and the list of all classes declared with valve's macros, that could cause the showing of a "server uses different class tables" error? On linux servers, but not windows? This has been bugging me for ages... I've been having problems for months now with the "server uses different class tables" errpr on connecting to a mod linux server. It works fine on windows. For a long time I thought this meant that the class tables on my linux server were different to the windows one (despite me using the same code, and copying it afresh many times), but I did two things to prove to myself that this isn't the case. Firstly, I wrote the following commands to list the class tables in the console: http://pastebin.com/f7dcb1746 Pasting from the console, and using excel to sort the client tables into the same order as the server, I can compare the network tables in BeyondCompare. This showed me a few things: * The windows server and linux server classtables are identical * Even in HL2DM, the server and client classtables aren't identical * For HL2DM, they seem to match up "close enough" to work under windows, and with a few changes, linux. * Even when I change the code so that the server & client class tables are identical, I still get "server uses different class tables" on connecting to linux server in my mod. I then removed all SendProp and RecvProp commands from my code that aren't present in the working linux HL2DM code. Setting BeyondCompare to ignore all differences except in lines starting with SendProp or RecvProp, I compared my mod's source directory to the working hl2dm source. No differences were found. My mod's client can connect to the hl2dm linux server, but when I try to connect to my mod's server, I get "server uses different class tables" - despite the SEND tables being absolutely identical to the hl2dm ones, which work. Unless someone can suggest another difference that could cause this error, I think my only choice is to start over, implementing each code change piece by piece and testing on linux after every change - but thats a massive & painful task that I'd much rather avoid!
