Engine Error: Could not load library client...

[0xBADEAFFE]

I built ges successfully on linux but after launch I get this error: I hope somebody can help me.

[jonathonracz]

Go to the properties page for Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer, and under the "betas" tab opt-in for the "- upcoming" beta. Let me know if that doesn't fix it.

[0xBADEAFFE]

@jonathonracz I switched to the upcoming beta branch but the error is still there. Here is the gdb output:

Make sure you are running the game using: https://github.com/goldeneye-source/ges-code/blob/develop/runges.sh

You have to define a GES_PATH environment variable that points to your sourcemods/gesource folder and a STEAMAPPS_PATH that points to the steamapps folder. Unfortunately Linux mods with external libraries are still borked because Valve doesn't map the bin directory in the moddir to load so's from.

[0xBADEAFFE]

I'm using runges.sh and definded both variables, the error is still present.

[droidmonkey]

Could be a permission issue, check to see which user owns the client.so and other libs that were deployed in the bin directory.

[droidmonkey]

I haven't built on Linux since I moved over to Fedora... unfortunately Valve prefers Debian distributions. I'll try to rebuild and deploy on my end to see if I experience the issue.

[0xBADEAFFE]

@droidmonkey Ok thanks! Maybe it's helpfull for you to reproduce my build procedure. I have modiefied some files to get everything compiled with 32 bit steamruntime on a 64 bit os: IMPORTANT: define STEAM_RUNTIME_ROOT ges-code-develop/runmake.sh

    else
    echo "Unknown target architecture: ${STEAM_RUNTIME_HOST_ARCH}"
    exit 1

Also important: replace in steam runtime sdk .sh files the following part, if you are not using a debian based os:

if [ -z "${STEAM_RUNTIME_HOST_ARCH}" ]; then
...
fi

with:

if [ -z "${STEAM_RUNTIME_HOST_ARCH}" ]; then
if [ "$(uname -m)" == "i686" ]; then

@droidmonkey Now it starts without the error message (libfmodexL.so, libfmodex.so libs were missing). But now it crashes with following error:

You need to checkout the python3 branch of the ges-python repo: https://github.com/goldeneye-source/ges-python/tree/python3

Check this out into gesource/python folder, we no longer put python under scripts.

Sorry, this should be documented somewhere.

[0xBADEAFFE]

Thanks, its now running! :+1: It should be also mentiont that you need the two fmodex libs.

There seems to be a problem with python when adding bots to the server:

[droidmonkey]

This indicates that your build of the python library so is not correct. You are missing critical built-in modules (md5, etc in this case). I am not sure why that is happening, but I do know that building python can be rather tenuous because it does not use a modern compiler approach (ala CMake).

[0xBADEAFFE]

I've managed to get it working. First you need to symlink some .h files to steamruntime and after successfull compiling you need to copy the content of/ges-code-develop/thirdparty/python3/ges_build/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.4/ to /steamapps/sourcemods/gesource/python/lib.

[droidmonkey]

This no longer applies with the new cmake build system that corrects all these issues.
