I'm having problems with PLR (Linux)

[Muridias]

I'm having problems getting this to work.

So I put the plr_i486.so in my home/orangebox/tf/addons/plr/bin

Then I made a playerlimit.vdf file in home/orangebox/tf/addons

The playerlimit.vdf contains the following syntax
"Plugin"
{
"file" "../tf/addons/plr/bin"
}

I can't get the plugin to load.

Am I missing something?

I'm also using version 1.1

Yes, you are missing something. Namely: plr_i486.

Put plr_i486 at the end of that file line so that it looks like this:

"Plugin"
{
    "file" "../tf/addons/plr/bin/plr_i486"
}

Muridias is another admin on my server, in the owner and i have had 3 people try it out today and nobody can get it to work... no matter how much we follow the tricks you guys said or not.

Ill go over what we did, and what our files look like, and you can then tell me from there what to do, or.. if you want you can steamID friend me or you can PM me and we can talk about it that way.... up to you guys

Mods: MetaMod/ManiAdmin/Sourcemod

I have created a mod folder called plr, inside i hvae put another folder called bin

plr\bin\

inside of that i have placed the file plr_mm_i486.so

I have then gone into metaplugins.ini and added the following line

plr addons/plr/bin/plr_mm_i486

which is how you set a plugin to load with METAMOD.

what else should be done? What.. if anything am i missing?

19:34:14 Failed to load plugin addons/plr/bin/plr_mm (Failed to get API)


is the message im getting from metamod?

[Drunken F00l]

It's not a metamod plugin. You need to load it as a normal Valve server plugin using the vdf file.

[riuthamus]

Still, no change in status, after i got it to work again, server coming up that is...

[Muridias]

we tried using the full path name to the file. doesnt want to do anything.

[Drunken F00l]

For Linux, the plugin extension needs to be added.

Basically, for the way you have it setup now, place the plr_i486.so file in tf/addons/plr/bin. Make sure it is in fact named plr_i486.so. Then, make a vdf file in tf/addons called plr.vdf with the following contents:

"Plugin" 
{ 
    "file" "../tf/addons/plr/bin/plr_i486.so" 
}

It shouldn't be very difficult. Also note that this plugin won't get around the server delistings, so I hope you have something else for that if you plan on running a 32 player server.

We did this, just now, and no fix... if you would like i will give you our info and you can check it out yourself. We have exhausted every means at this point.

Just FYI to everybody. We chatted on msn and resolved the issue. The plugin was infact loading, but the server host was forcing the players to 24.
