I'm trying to host Ultimate DOOM server with Shared Resources. The first map plays ok, but when I get to E1M2, a little ways in, it takes all my ammo, and all the counters say 0/0. What the hell is going on?

No love for the thread :(

I just played through the map with no issues whatsoever. Whereabouts is it taking your ammo, did you do anything at the time, what other wads are on the server (if any) and are you playing with other players/bots?

I was playing normally, that was the only PWad, and I was playing with one other person, and he said he lost his ammo too.

When did it happen? Did one of you activate something or pick something up at the time?

Well, when I was playing by myself, I did happen to lose my ammo AFTER I picked up a backpack...

that would suggest that shared_bpakmult was 0, which would get the effect you just showed
mind posting the values of all cvars starting with "shared_"?

All I did was start up a server. I didn't really configure any of the Shared_ cvars, so they would all be at their default values, I assume.

well, then shared_bpakmult would be 2, and this wouldn't have occured
basically post it anyawy, it might not have set (which is a different bug but w/e)

here's the code that scales the max ammo when you have a backpack, btw

Code: Select all

function int adjustBackpack(int amount, int team)
{
    int bI = GetCVar("shared_bpakmult");
    int bF = GetCVar("shared_bpakmult_frac");

    int b  = (bI << 16) + ((bF << 16) / 100);

    int bMult = ( (b - 1.0) * backpack[team]) + 1.0;

    return (amount * bMult) >> 16;
}

Ok, how do I change the value of the backpack cvar, is what i'm looking for. Because shared_bpakmult 2 doesn't work.

if you mean it's saying something about no such variable "shared_bpakmult", then I would do "unset shared_limitsexist" and restart the map - this will cause shared resources to assume that no variables exist and reassign all of them

otherwise i have no clue
