custom sky is "crashing" my server in promod

[criZp]

Hi, having some problems with getting the custom sky I have made to work in my promod server. I have tested it in modwarfare, worked nice there. also checked the codpromod.com page, it said I should be able to add custom stuff after changing the mod-name to something else than the original name, and running the server in any mode except the match mode. I might want to add some skins some time too.

I have done it all.. when I put the sky in the promod-folder and restart the server, it "crashes". it still shows as "running" on the server control pannel, but it becomes impossible to connect to the server with rcon or in the game.

have asked about it at bashandslash and some other pages, and emailed the promod crew, without help so far. I have also google and searched on youtube after tutorials, but looks like its only me having the problem?

anyone here have an idea what the problem can be? :/

btw, is it anything I can put in the server config to allow some kind of votes, but not all of them, like with the g_allowvote command?

hi can we get some info about your image is it a skin or was this made from the ground up ?

makeing a custom image can be tricky if you dont have the size format right will cause errors

also if your converter setting are not right this will cause errors

did you get kicked to a black screen with a error box  ?

[criZp]

I used this guide: http://www.tek-9.org/articles/call_of_duty_4_custom_skies_tutorial-329/tutorial-2.html

if I host myself (a listen server), when I start the server the map will load halfway, and then the server will stop and I get a error like this: http://img510.imageshack.us/i/cod4promodcrash.jpg/

if I try to connect to the server (dedicated rented one) I will just get connection timeout.

Like the screenshot is telling you, did you look into log for details?

[criZp]

no, I only get that error message when I host myself, and I don't have log files from that? but shouldn't the details be in the full console?

[MissVonTripp]

Nope not all details are in the console. I also host some COD4 servers, and I do have acces to the logs.
That why I asked.

// General Settings
//================================================== ===============================

// Log Settings
set g_logsync "2" // 0=no log, 1=buffered, 2=continuous, 3=append
set logfile "1" // 0 = NO log, 1 = log file enabled
set g_log "games_mp.log" // Name of log file, default is games_mp.log

Hmmmmmm, isn't a custom skybox just an image file?

What scripts would it have to cause a script runtime error?

[DoomSlayer]

did you try to run any other maps then mp_crash ?

[criZp]

tested all maps, none of them worked. but I found the log now. says this about the script error:

Error:
******* script compile error *******

does custom sky in promod work for you guys then? if anyone have one lying around, care to check it? guess I have to try error searching now, if I want to maybe fix it.

[criZp]

ok, I figured out. downloaded another sky I found, and it worked fine. made both that sky and my own back to .zip files, and checked the files in there. my one had a /maps folder, when I deleted it, the sky worked fine

thanks guys for trying to help
