GoW client with MOSS

Post by rplawrence »

I have been trying to make the GoW client work with MOSS and it does work if the client is ran with the '-LocalData' switch.

When the client is run without the switch I get a "Secure file preloader failed" popup after a successful login, on the update screen.
The ~/file directory is empty and the ~/auth directory has been rebuilt per the instructions given on the wiki.
Here is what the auth.log says:

Code: Select all

1316302668.770153 DEBUG auth.ae17c91c:28608: Connection: (client) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:28608 <-> yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:14617 (server)

I suspect that the problem lies in the auth files but I have no idea where. Any thoughts?

I'm currently having the same issue: I'm trying to find some solutions, but this doesn't look easy like the other ones...

Here's my moss_auth.log

Code: Select all

rplawrence’s problem was traced back to an empty line in the text file that Python.mbam was generated from, and fixed by https://bitbucket.org/OpenUru_org/moss/ ... ake-mbampl.

Your case however looks different. From a quick look at the code, the “mumble to itself” message indicates that the file SDL.mbam was not found (weird error message – funny but unhelpful :?), did you place it in the correct auth subdirectory (default or whatever you configured for the logging-in user)?

Funny and very helpful in the traditional Uru way.

"Something terribly has gone wrong. Head for the cover.", anyone? :)


CW is completely correct, of course. It is looking for the SDL.mabm file, and cannot find it.

I fixed it. I don't remember how, but I did it :P

Anyway, thanks for the replies :D This MOSSing is really getting frustrating. I need to create a more user-friendly setup guide...

How's that going? ;)

A product "wrapper" with complete guide and install automation (e.g., "[checkbox] Import Sharper's Journal") would be a valuable addition.
Perfect speed is being there.

That's not easy, as I expected. Now my client is stuck at "downloading" phase, so I'm going through the logs once again to see what's the issue... I have been on a break for quite a lot of time, so I need to get used to the whole system once again...

If I have any news, I'll post it.
