Java issue with master server

After some tinkering and checking and rechecking and checking again, Put the world_settings.xml file where it needs to go and made slight progress,

now I get this in the client log about the repository being invalid :

Code:: ERROR [2013-04-16 22:55:35,812] Exception Invalid media repository

Make sure you have set your asset repository. This can be done by Model viewer or other tools.

ok got it to patch but then this happens :

Java issue with master server - Page 2 Error

But atleast it patched and tried to fire up! so it is progress lol

Can you check the server logs and post the rest of the log... it is unfortunately a very broad error.

ok so here is the log from where I notice a warning about a connection stream which may be where it starts to come unglued until the client exits:

Also to confirm its pulling patchfiles from the correct place I changed the patcher.html file a bit and yanked and reinstalled the client to get it to patch again and :

Java issue with master server - Page 2 Confirm

Java issue with master server - Page 2 Confirm

This shows it IS patching as expected. Im wandering if maybe there is a setting in local_settings.xml it doesnt like maybe my reslution being higher than 1280x768 and its causing driver problems or, axiom doesnt like it.

damn,
i am so jealous, lol :-)

i could not make my patcher to work on my setup. tried so many options and none worked that i gave up on it.

glad you got it working, good job

Oddly, I copied the patcher.html from C:\multiverse\website\updates\patcher to the ..\..\patcher directory on the webserver , renamed it world_patcher.html and it started patching with the standard multiverse patcher, then just fired up dreamweaver and slaped a few changes in it, saved the .jpg i used also in the ../../patcher directory and presto.

just wish I could get into the server all the way lol May have something to do with the login.jsp stuff not being there yet but I will tackle that tomorrow as it dies before i get a login screen.

I believe it is related to the login...it looks like it is trying to get either the world name or the authentication token from the master server

And I can tell you that I run it at 1920x1200 with no problems and everything in between down to 800x640 in any case check your login_manager.out and your master.out if you could remove the identifying info and post that would be helpful tracking down your problem...more than likely it is not getting the world id from the master server

this was as far as i could go when i try to get it going,
actually the patcher did not work for me, so copied the same patch_version.txt from server to client to test if it was comparing versions and it does,
in my test it compares versions in this case was same version so it should of take me to the login screen but it did not, it just stays in the patcher screen

so the default stock setup is broken.

I believe there is actually a second test other than just the patch_version.txt I believe it checks the patcher.exe internal version number as well and makes sure that is in sync with both the server and the client files. I have a feeling that you are failing that test so it is trying to patch. You can check by looking at the logs and seeing if there is a difference in numbers from the patch_version.txt and what is output in the log where it says Client version up to date I dont remember exactly.
Did you compile your client or are you using the default?

i compiled mine,

but how can you let the server know which client version the player client is using?
where is that manifest file? or how do you create one?

If you compiled yours you should first make some change in the main file of the Standalone Patcher and compile it so that it registers a version change then you need to run the build_patch_info from the build directory of the client source it will create a tar file (client_patch.tar) with what you need to untar into your client update directory.

thanks,
ok.
i am close now to make it work

but seems that the patch urls are hardcoded somewhere and i just cant find them.

this is my client log

INFO [2013-04-17 13:25:19,338] Network Information WorldServerEntry: WorldName: sampleworld,

UpdateUrl: http://update.multiverse.net/sampleworld/update/

looked thoroughly in C# client source, server code, world code , common, etc..... and can seem to locate this hardcoded urls.

maybe it is in my windows registry?

this is driving me crazy, lol

i know there are some in world_settings.xml
but am not using it.

any ideas where to look?

Check StandalonePatcher Main.cs MVUpdate hast the UpdateURL and PatchtHTML you can also set them using commandline commands I believe --update_url and --patcher_url

no luck, seems like still somewhere else is harcoded the:

PatcherUrl: http://update.multiverse.net/patcher/world_patcher.html,
UpdateUrl: http://update.multiverse.net/sampleworld/update/

tell me if i am missing something?

in /client/base/Client.cs

Quote :: // For now, simply disable media patches if we don't provide a patch url
const string MediaPatchHtml = "http://127.0.0.1/mv/update/media_patcher.html";

// Default patch page
public static string PatchHtml = "http://127.0.0.1/mv/update/patcher.html";

so far these are all the patching harcoded links i found and stil having the issue showing in my client log file:

now, this all happens when i run the client.

if, the server http://127.0.0.1/mv/update/update/patch_version.txt is the same as my client patch_version.txt
then i see the login screen, so i login. then i get i multiverse patcher window but with blank screen with:
"NAVIGATION TO THE WEBPAGE WAS CANCELLED" error

i take a look to my client logs and find:

Quote :: INFO [2013-04-17 14:37:17,783] MultiverseClient Client command line arguments:

and then further down the log file i find:

UpdateUrl: http://update.multiverse.net/sampleworld/update/

which seems why i get the blank screen with error i assume.

now, in the other hand if i have a new version on the server patch_version.txt than the client
i run the client and nothings pops up, no client showing up.

then look at my client logs and find this:

Sorry I didnt realize you were posting from the log...That information is from the master server/ in the mysql database

thank you,
that solved the media patcher, it is now downloading assets ok.

but still having issues with client .exe .dll etc... patcher

i created a patch from build_patch_info.py
created the client_patch.tar
put it in my http://127.0.0.1/mv/mvupdate_client/
and extracted content

to isolate the standalone patcher.exe i created a new folder and copied the patcher.exe file and ran it.
it poped up the patcher window with my patching url http://127.0.0.1/mv/update/patcher.html

but got stucked on error while tried to patch
patcher.log :

the patch_version.txt is in the http://127.0.0.1/mv/mvupdate_client/ so i donk know why it throws me the error

any ideas?

I am going to guess that you are either missing the mv.patch file in the update folder (which should have been in the tar) or maybe your webserver is not configured to send the .patch file extension

no,all the files are there.

looks lthe issue is the patch_version.txt that the build_asset_info.py creates,
as per the code below from build_asset_info.py,
it is supposed to get version # from patcher.exe and write it to patch_version.txt ,but it does not, the patch_version.txt comes empty.

Quote :: #patcher = "%sPatcher/bin/%s/patcher.exe" % (dir_win, config)
patcher = "%sbin/%s/patcher.exe" % (dir_win, config)
# Default value of version, in case we can't run the patcher
version = "1.1.2920.33098"
try:
output = os.popen(patcher + " --version").read()
version = output.strip()
except:
pass

# Build the patch_version.txt (for use by the patcher)
f = file("patch_version.txt", "w")
f.write(version + "\n")
f.close()

Oh you probably need to elevate to administrator whatever process you are using to run the patch

that was it, :-)

thanks bro, now the whole patch system works fine.

I hate win7 run as administrator deal, lots of issues because of that, nothing better than winxp, but ohh well, times changes and we need to move on to new OS to come.

thanks again

you can disable uac on specific files if needbe

still a no go. Master out has no errors and keeps writing the keepalive ping to the log so, i know its running. Login_manger.out doesnt log ANYTHING from the master server, seems it only logs when you use the regular server and now im getting an error about "properties" not being a valid windows command, but I have NOT changed the batchfile so i have no idea what all the sudden caused it to not work.
