Some players have black textures

#1
Hello,

Sometimes I run a server to play only with friends. I would like to play on some unofficial map and something weird happens.
I run the server on PC A and I  play on PC B on the same network. I tried with the map stone_ocean and sanctum_a5, the maps were loaded on the server and I can play on it on PC B (the map is aumomatically downloaded on it, never played before). But my friends say that they only see a black screen , some items and players. I can see them on the game.

Maybe I do something wrong, but I don't understant why it works on my PC B. Do you have an idea?

The maps probably didn't download correctly. Try clearing your dlcache (~/.xonotic/data/dlcache on Linux, and i think on Windows its C:/Users/<your username>/Saved Games/Xonotic/data/dlcache)

Thank you for your answer. I think I didn't put the pk3 files at the right place on the server. I moved them, cleared the dlcache and it works on my «gaming» PC (like before). I will try with my friends this week.

You don't need to clear everything under dlcache/ , just the zero-length files.

dlcache/* is not automatically searched for map files in a server situation. Try moving the pk3 files one level up (same level as dlcache/ ) and restart the server.

It's what I did on the server (to put the pk3 into .xonotic/data) and I told players to clear the dlcache. It seems that Windows players still have the problem, but there is no problem for Linux players Huh

I don't know if it's releavant: it is the Xonotic server shipped with the 0.8.2 Release under Linux, it's not the git one. I use my own http server to share the map, the map are downloaded successsfully.

There's some explanation here:

If your users have a corrupted file in .xonotic/data, they'll need to delete those too.

I don't think the git version differs from 0.8.2 in that regard.

Thank you, I will try that the next time I play with my friends Smile
I have still some other unrelated config issues, I will open a new post for that.
