Reuploaded again to fix false positive detections on certain maps.

I reuploaded the package again to include a fix for timeout issues some people were seeing on servers running behind NAT firewalls. Once again, this updated package can be installed on top of the previous one, as it does not include any client-side changes.

*** INTRODUCTION ***
Hello everyone. I thought I'd drop a new version of ACE here to get this section started. The most notable changes since v1.0e are:
* [FIXED] Timeout issues on servers with 32+ network interfaces
* [FIXED] General protection fault during map switches on the client side
* [ADDED] Support for a lot of new skins (e.g., the official UT v400 hi-res skins), renderers (e.g., OldUnreal XOpenGLDrv), mods
A full list of changes is available at:
http://utgl.unrealadmin.org/ACE/changes.txt
*** INSTALLATION ***
If you are currently running NPLoader v1.7 (which comes with ACE v1.0+), the installation is fairly straightforward: just unzip the package in your server's root folder and reboot the server.
If you are not running NPLoader v1.7, then please refer to the INSTALL.txt document included in the package.
*** CONFIGURATION ***
Please refer to the SETTINGS.txt document included in the package.
*** KNOWN ISSUES ***
Installation Issues: Some other testers have reported issues installing the server files. Most of these are caused by outdated system libraries. Please note that you will need glibc 2.15 or later on Linux. Linux distributions released before 2012 might have older versions of glibc.
A second problem seems to occur for certain admins running x86_64 Linux servers. These admins might see the following error message:
Code:
Code: Select all
Path to the PlayerManager: /data/ut-server/System/PlayerManager/ACEv10f_M ACE: ERROR - Communication with PlayerManager failed - poll errno: 4 Interrupted system call ACE: ERROR - PlayerManager Connection Failed [ACEv10f]: ERROR: ACE could not spawn the PlayerManager. [ACEv10f]: ERROR: ACE is now disabled. ACE: ERROR - PlayerManager Connection Shutting Down!
This is most likely caused by a corrupted PlayerManager file. Please make sure that you upload the files in binary mode rather than text mode!
Timeouts during check spawn: Although ACE v1.0f likely fixes this issue, I cannot rule it out completely. You can enable extra logging in the server log to help figure out why these occur by adding these settings to the server ini file:
Code: Select all
[ACEv10f_S.ACENICHelper] bDebug=1
Kick logs that say "Not kicking because bStrictSystemLibraryChecks is set to false": This is not technically an issue. ACE v1.0 has some very aggressive detection routines that detect a lot of legitimate external programs (e.g., Fraps, Display Drivers, Sound drivers, virus scanners...) because they do terrible things to your system DLLs. If you see this kick status, just ignore the log. The player will not be kicked.

Re: [LATEST] ACEv10f build
This kick doesn't surprise me one bit. Wormbo recompile this mod many times without changing the name hence the many mismatches you'll get between different hosted game servers. I hope someday to never have too use that mod for any of my servers.
Re: [LATEST] ACEv10f build
I never understood this either. It makes a lot of his work VERY hard to use because he built most everything outward from this package. Almost all of his mod work needs the U file to function and it's compiled with it in the resident memory. It makes extracting anything from the mods a right pain even though he's very liberal with permissions.
I don’t wanna give the end away
but we’re gonna die one day

Re: [LATEST] ACEv10f build
And I have NEVER understood why SERVER related mutators needs to be loaded by clients. This is not a stock file so it will not cause pain for running UT.
It has:
By example I don't have this stuff in my clean client used ON-Line and then I have survived in many servers without being kicked. So to speak - these kicks are entirely PLAYER'S fault not ACE
It has:
- EIDeathMessageMutator
EIDeathMessageSpawnNotify
EIDMMutator
EIEffects
EIUseHoldable
EnhancedAmmo
EnhancedArena
EnhancedDeathMessage
EnhancedKeyBindings
EnhancedMutator
EnhancedProjectile
EnhancedWeapon
EWindowCheckbox
EWindowComboControl
EWindowDialogClientWindow
EWindowEditControl
EWindowPageWindow
EWindowPulldownMenu
EWindowPulldownMenuItem
EWindowRightClickMenu
HoldablePowerup
HoldableUseMessage
JumpbootsDummy
MultiPickupPlus
NoAlwaysAutoActivate
PickupPlus
PlayerShell
PlayerShellEffect
PlayerSphere
ShieldBeltDummy
ThighPadsDummy
TimedPowerup
By example I don't have this stuff in my clean client used ON-Line and then I have survived in many servers without being kicked. So to speak - these kicks are entirely PLAYER'S fault not ACE

Re: [LATEST] ACEv10f build
I've installed in a private environment ACEv10f in a XC_Engine v23 server using spread resources - non-standard paths. Server support - Win 7. Except kicking for another generation of XC_MonsterHunt and the need for white-listing it, I did not see major issues at all. Perhaps it's time to see how does it works in some NFO environment...
Edit: Results summary
- managed NFO M.G.S doesn't use administrator account so I think thios is a problem, ACE won't load PlayerManager and goes disabled automatically only lagging server at travel task and dropping player who need to reconnect in order to regain the game - no crashes but... it's useless.
- "Tiny" test server with XC v21 do seems to work properly - this server runs in VDS under Administrator account and then it doesn't look as having issues.
If you want to setup ACE in Evil Sniper server let me know and then we have to discuss about a few minutes of a server outage for updating configuration files. Final point will be starting server and testing how does it responds. Until that moment I'll test how do works ACE if it starts with a delay...
