Lua Checksum for Linux/Mac players.

[thorny lichen]

Usually if there's a problem with players I can just test it but I can't so came here for some help.

If players are having issues joining my server with checksum enabled because they're on Mac / Linux. How do they setup it up correctly on their side for the server to recognize the folders/files as being correct so that the server lets them in?

Many thanks in advance.

Can you elaborate? There should be no checksum issues in the vanilla game

Hey Beard, yeah so just with a few players who play on linux or mac will get File doesn't exist on client for the mod that loads first on the server in the newest B42 unstable build. I have no clue if I'm doing something wrong or they are. It's only 3 players who have this issue, one on mac and two on linux.

Sorry I should have been more specific about how I'm not running a vanilla server and I know you've warned against running with high populations and with mods, but the server runs great at 100 players with my mods just don't want these few players left out.

@thorny lichen In the servername.ini file, set DoLuaChecksum=false. That should solve your issue.

Yeah that would work but I don't think it's a good idea, had to already build my own anticheat let alone allowing people to skip past a checksum.

I see, in that case yes, mods specifically do not load well on Max and and Linux, due to a file casing issue as far as I am aware

There really isn't any good workaround other than not using mods, you can try waiting for a fix

Okay thank you very much for the response.

(On Mac) Would you know how to fix this for b41? After I create my character and try to load in I get hit with a checksum error for the "tools of the trade" mod. This has happened on 2 separate servers and I've tried a plethora of different things

[stoic glade]

On B41 the issue is different, the mod itself likely isnt compatible with Mac due to case sensitivity

The mod creator would have to fix it for Linux / Mac, since they handle case sensitivity differently, so unless a mod is made with that it might, those platforms will have issues with those mods

[willow river]

One of my friends on said server runs the mod on Mac, would I have to configure the mod somehow to get it working?

[stoic glade]

The mod creator would need to do that

Likely change the casing on the files
