Replacing Spawns not working

[PAL-18]

All my weapon scripts dont replace spawns, even though they all have setting: replacespawns 1 defined.

When the map loads, i get the following error in the server console:

L 03/25/2011 - 22:30:46: Lua Error: Invalid line 4 in ../maps/MAPNAME
_ttt.txt
Invalid line 4 in ../maps/MAPNAME_ttt.txt

Line 4 coincides with the replace spawn command.

Will this be fixed?

What version are you using?

Did you manually edit the scripts? It sounds like you may have spaces instead of a tab in the "setting:" line. It has to be "setting:[TAB]replacespawns 1". Some editors automatically convert tabs to spaces, notepad won't.

If I load up a CS:S map, all of which use replacespawns in their scripts, it works fine without errors.

While testing the scripts, there is a tab between setting: and replacespawns.  I didnt manually edit any scripts; they were all created ingame with the TTT tool.

I'm using the latest version (v24).

I generated the scripts in windows and the server is linux.  Could that be causing the problem?  If so, how do i fix it?

That could be the issue. The files were generated on windows and will have windows-style line ending markers, which doesn't have to be a problem if gmod handles it but knowing garry he probably didn't do anything about that for the linux build of gmod. You'll have to modify the scripts to use linux-style line endings.

If you have shell access on the linux box, you could navigate to where the scripts are and run:

dos2unix *.txt

That will convert all scripts to linux-style line endings.

I think the dos2unix/unix2dos utilities are standard on all linux distros. An alternative is using an editor like notepad++ to convert them (Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Unix format). Most text editors that are a step above basic notepad will have a function like that.

That fixed it :D

Thanks!
