Game Downloads

[DetoxServers]

Hello,

When I try to download games through the menu I do not get the HL option only HL2. The HL2 files download correctly and I can run those servers just fine. I downloaded the hl.cpgs file manually and put it into my /home/gameservers directory but it is not recognized as existing by CPGS. Can anyone help me out with this problem?

Thanks,
Rick

Older versions looked for "hlds" as the type, the latest looks for "hl"; this name is embedded in the .cpgs install file itself. What version of cPGS are you running ?

[DetoxServers]

Currently we are running the most up to date version of CPanel and what I believe to be be the most up to date CPGS 0.6.2 Also, the file that I have currently in there is hl.cpgs but HL1 is not even listed in the game menu as an option for download.

Thanks

I thought this may help a bit. Here is a SS of what my CPGS Download menu looks like. If you look I have already downloaded HL2 but I do not have an option for just HL.

I have the same. Its a good job i downloaded the required files before 0.6.0 (I think this is the version that took it off) took it off.

As long as i do not need to delete and re download the hl1 files im fine but it is still gone from the list of games.

ALSO: Have you tried adding the game to a user in https://your.server.dom:2087/cgi/addon_gs.cgi it should automatically download the files for you. To install it after just click install from the -Select Action- drop down menu after configuration.

Thanks

Hello,

I have tried doing that for the install but it says that it cannot find the correct package in my gameservers directory. Now I do know that I have it in there as hl.cpgs should I try changing it to hlds.cpgs ?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

DetoxServers, check now , it should be available for download. I've been changing the "short" name of the half life server from hlds_l to hlds to hl to try and find a happy naming convention. I had not updated the cgi on cpgs.cpanel.net that provides the list of latest available packages to reflect that so it was not showing up. If anyone else can now no longer see it, you need to update cPGS to the latest version.

Ok great thanks Darren, I'm downloading right now, everything seems to be working correctly.

Thanks so much for the help.

Ok Darren, still a slight problem. I downloaded the files just fine, but now I go to have the game install and it says that the cpgs is not found. It is looking in the correct directory but it does not install due to not being able to find the files.

Thanks,
Rick

Ok, try this as root via ssh:

nano +678 /var/cpanel/cpgsd.pl

This will take you to line 678 of cpgsd.pl, which should look like this:

if($server eq 'hl') { $server = 'hlds'; }

It's in the "serveravailable" subroutine.
Comment the line out by putting a # in front of it so it looks like

# if($server eq 'hl') { $server = 'hlds'; }

hit Ctl-o to save it and Ctl-x to exit, the start cpgsd again `/var/cpanel/cpgsd.pl` and see if that doesn't get it fixed up. That change is made in the dev branch but looks like it wasn't in the release.

Alright well I have downloaded and re-downloaded the files, that works fine but I tried your code edit but it still tells me that it can't find the source files. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help,

I am using fire fox mozilla and when i download the game files the graph does not move but when i install the game the graph moves just fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks

DetoxServers - you may want to put in a ticket so I can take a look at it, at this point I'd have to trace it back on your server to see where it was getting the wrong name from.

Silent Sniper - I'll take a look... I'm currently redoing the installer so it will show the actual amount of data being installed, much smoother and more reliable ETA info and such for installation than the current method. I'll take a look at the downloader too before release to be sure it's working. I use Firefox for 98% of development and the other 2% is just for testing compatibility. If it's not showing the graph for you in 0.6.3 once released, put in a ticket so I can see if there is something else weird causing it not to update the download screen.

Same issue here

[darren]

There are actually 3 lines like this:

if($server eq 'hl') { $server = 'hlds'; }

that need to be commented out of /var/cpanel/cpgsd.pl for HL to download /install properly with the new package.

Spaceh - exactly which issue are you having, HL or no progress bar when downloading games ?
