PUFs work for CS 1.6, but not CS Source

toddler4372 — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:41:33 GMT

Ok, a tiny bit of background. For those of us using personal Steam accounts with Smartlaunch's built-in license management, the config files are saved locally in:

C:\Program Files\Smartlaunch\Client\Data\Temporary\Steam\cs\ (for Counterstrike 1.6)
C:\Program Files\Smartlaunch\Client\Data\Temporary\Steam\css\ (for Counterstrike: Source)
C:\Program Files\Smartlaunch\Client\Data\Temporary\Steam\dod\ (for Day of Defeat)

And so on. But here's the thing. PUFs work fine with CS 1.6 and DoD, but not CS:S or DoD:S for some reason. The simple file just won't zip and copy back to the server for the newer Steam games. Once you log out of the client, it says it's zipping and sending info. But then when checking back on the server PUF directory, nothing is there.

Is there any reason the old Steam games work with SL, but the newer ones don't? Can I get an SL rep to chime in on this one, too?

Spore Saved Games

Erealmz — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:43:08 GMT

Found the saved games, works fine with PUF.

But for whatever reason teh creatures do not come as well.

I am going to test the theory that the "My Spore Creation" folder also has to come with the PUF.

previous user profiles remaining after new user logs in

netwars — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:44:44 GMT

Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with pufs:

if I log in as "someone" user and make a profile in cod 4 I can play and save and it's all right, then I log out but still whenever I log back in I find my profile, so pufs transfer seems to work just fine.

the problem is when "someone" logs out and "anyone" logs in after him on the same pc, because he still finds "someone"'s profile in cod4... if you cancel the profile and create yours then it's all good and you will only find yours next time you log in, but if you just click join a game you will play as the old user and his stats...

I know it's no big deal as I just tell newcomers to erase any profile they find in games, but is just to know if someone else have had this problem and solved it maybe in the easiest way ever... I'm pretty sure it's something stupid I forgot, so if anyone knows...

PUF's/Documents on a different pc

kyrmike — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:41:09 GMT

Hi, i have a problem here. I want to save my PUF's and user documents on a different pc, and not at the same one that the smartlaunch server is running. Is it possible to do that? For example lets say that i have my server at a pc using windows server 03 named SERVER and a second pc using windows XP with named FILESERVER! and i just want the user PUF's and documents to be saved at FILESERVER. I figured out what to do with PUF's but i cant make the network mapping to work properly! It cant map the u: drive! at the "Network Mapping" feature of SL Server i used every possible way but it didnt work! I'm guessing that maybe i have to use some bat file! But i want to be last solution! Any ideas will be helpfull and ty in advance!

how do i setup SL to include My Documents Menu...

Troy — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:19:23 GMT

Hi I just migrated to SmartlLaunch Internet Cafe Management system.

i will be very grateful if any existing user can help with instructions on how to install the smartlaunch 4.1 server component to run as a windows service on windows server 2003. That is how to make the server run without the need for a user to logon to the windows server 2003. It will be nice to have such implementation.

Secondly i will also appreciate if i can get help with instructions on setting "My documents" menu as part of the applications available on customer homepage which will be mapped to the users account and accessible from any of the client computers so that customers can keep their personal files there. We use to use the Pac-Manager Professional internet cafe management system which had this feature. it allowed admin to setup fixed space for every customer created with a scheduling for cleanup. indeed Pac-Manager was very integrated with active directory. unfortunate there is no support for the software anymore. it is a very thorough and robust server-client application module.

Thirdly is there any module for controlling bandwidth of customers based on price plan, vip etc

lastly are there any other client computer skin templates apart from the three included in the server. especially those which are not based on flash. it will be nice to have clean fast intuitive interfaces for customers. lets say customer clicks on "programs" and then sees all the programs available with their icons on a nice simple page instead of the heavy flash animations.

much help in these configurations will bemuch appreciated.

PUFs for CIV4 and C&C3

SurfTheNet@Noosaville — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:23:31 GMT

Hey all, has anyone figured out how to save the PUFs for Civ4 and C&C3, where it saves to the doc's and setting folders? As all my computers have a dofferent "name" Comp1, Comp2 etc, the addresses for saves are all different :(

At the moment I have 1 PC only that can save PUFs for these 2 games. Comp14

Is there some way using * perhaps in the address?

Steam Cafe PUF's and the valvecafepc### auto assigned login

Darth_Chaos — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:57:12 GMT

Up until recently we never bothered saving user configs and games, but with an influx of CSS, TF2, and HL gamers, we're trying to provide the service.

Unfortunately, we have no idea how to capture the seemingly random valvecafepc#### directory to use as a variable in a batch to copy files down to the machines.

Also, we're not quite clear what happens when steam closes, and where the PUF info is saved.

Please help!

PUFs not Updating with Changes

Daniel Schmidt — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 00:18:17 GMT

Hi there
I have an issue where I have created default PUFs which get downloaded to the client on demand. However when changes are made to these config files, they don't get uploaded on log off. When I then log a client back on they get the default PUF again.

Things I've tried:
- Changing the PUF Directory
- Ensuring "Everyone" has Full Access to the PUF Directory
- Sharing the PUF Directory
- Changing the PUF Directory to the Shared Directory (ie. \\Server\PUFs)

None of these seem to work. The only thing I can think of is that the game in question runs from the Server (ie. \\Server\Game\Game.exe) and the configs are under the same directory. But seeing as the directory is mapped to a drive (Z:\) I can't see this being an issue (Unless its due to Z:\ being disallowed via Security? But the games run fine on it and the configs update on the server but just get reset when the user logs back in). Any ideas are appreciated? Thanks!

Versions:
Admin: 4.1.301
Client: 4.1.302
Server: 4.1.300

U drive mapping errors

clueless — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:19:37 GMT

I am have activated the "Network Mapping" feature in the SL server. I am getting errors relating to the mapping of this drive such as "Could not map the U: drive to the users personal folder. Code: 1326. Description: Invalid username/password OR attempt to connect NT with NW code (PC15)"

There are 3 fields under "Network mapping". For "Server Network Name" have the ip address of the SL server typed into the first line. For "username" I am unsure what to input. Is this for a user name and password for the SL server? Or to log the client in. The clients all use the same user and do not require a log in. Also is the U: drive created automaticly or do I nned to create it manually on all the clients or the server?

Fear PUF disconnected from server error

kmartnd — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 06:07:52 GMT

I am trying to configure the PUF for Smartlaunch with Fear, it seems to be extracting the PUF's ok from the SL server and putting them on the client but when I start Fear and choose to load a game I get "disconnected from server". I have COD saving and loading with no problem. I tried with and w/out a placeholder file in the PUF zip file to see if it would make a difference, nothing. Still in testing phase, here is the directory that I have the Fear directory set to.

c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Monolith Productions\FEAR\Save\Profile000\SinglePlayer\

Anyone got any ideas why this is not working for me here, and does on COD.

Halo PUFS

Xaduurv — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 01:02:44 GMT

Have been trying to set up game PUFs for a few weeks now, with moderate success, but am currently stumped.

When a user logs in and makes a user profile, logs out, logs in again, starts the game (on the same PC), the same profile is there (good).

When a user logs in and makes a user profile, logs out, someone else logs in, starts the game (on the same PC), the same profile is there (very very baaaaaaad).

I have a default profile set up in the PersonalUserFiles folder like i believe i'm supposed to. I've changed the directory in which PUFs are stored to D:\SL PUFs not that that's relevant because that doesn't change the default PUFs folder to my understanding.

This is a big problem because SL isn't deleting the PUFs on the client's computers, it only does half the job and copies them to the server without deleting them so when the next person comes along and logs in to the same computer they will be using the previous person's PUF (if it's their first time in the game).

HELP!!!

EDIT: I'm not getting any PUF errors so I'm thinking that it THINKS that it's doing its job properly. hmmmmmmm...

ANOTHER EDIT: am having the same problem with oblivion. No problems with world of warcraft though, that works just great and defaults work fine. What I don't understand is why the default PUF for Halo won't work when it was automatically made by smartlaunch:w00t:

PUF Command Line Issue

Xaduurv — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 06:17:12 GMT

Hi all. I'm currently using the trial of SL and getting used to the functionality before we start our cyber cafe. We seem to have most of the bugs ironed out, with one exception.

When creating the PUFs for games, where you specify the command line for the saves and config files, it only seems to work when I type in the [i]exact[/i] command line. I've read about many others in the forums who have used things like %Userprofile% or %MyDocuments% instead of C:\Users\FIGP1\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves.

Since we would like to use different usernames for each PC, the [i]exact[/i] command line specification of C:\Users\FIGP1\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves would only work on the computer with the username of FIGP1, so you can see the importance of getting %Userprofile% or %MyDocuments% to work in its place.

Am currently running all the computers on Windows Vista Home Basic so they say "Documents" instead of "My Documents", as you can see in my above examples; would that be why the %MyDocuments% and %Userprofile% aren't working? I've also tried %Documents% but that doesn't work either.

How to exclude more than one type of files

HeX — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 00:56:40 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to exclude more than one type of files in call of duty 2 \main folder (*.iwd done, works fine). I know i can only set it to the \main\players directory without excluding any files, but something it's freezing the game when trying to continue a single player game right when someone press Yes in the confirmation box. I tryed Excluding Files like this: "*.iwd; *.tmp" dont work, also "*.iwd, *.tmp" doesn't work. I'm trying to save a .dat and .log file in the \main folder that maybe fix my little problem. Is there any other way to do this or it's not possible?

Thanks for your help :)

Sending PUF's to different locations?

ReDorDeD — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 19:25:30 GMT

I have 2 locations for different OS's.

On XP systems the games are in C:\Program Files\

but on the XP 64 Bit systems they are in c:\Program Files (x86)\

Is there a way to make SL copy the PUF's to the correct location on the 64bit machines? At the moment they are going into the standard Program Files path, which obviously makes the games miss them.

Question about PUFs and Server OS

peps — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 15:14:40 GMT

"If you are going to store the cd-keys and image files for games on the same machine as the Smartlaunch server, and have more than 10 computers in your café, make sure that you are running a server operating system such as Windows NT or Windows Server 2003 on the machine."

That was from the SL manual.. Does this also apply to PUFs? or will more than 10 computers be able to use PUFs on a Windows XP server? Im still trying to decide if SL is worth the extra money..

Steam Cafe PUFs

trooper11 — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 22:38:07 GMT

Im trying to setup Steam Cafe PUFs for certain games that would make use of it (i.e. Psychonauts, FlatOut 2, etc..)

I have Steam Cafe setup through SL using the set of keys that were issued to me from Valve. I have 10 IDs for 10 pcs and it auto assigns the keys when a user luanches a Steam Cafe game.

What I want to do is be able to setup PUFs for some fo the games using Steam Cafe. Does anyone know how I would do this? Since there is no individual accounts (such as when they have thier own steam account), Im not sure how to set it up properly to assign user names to saves people create while using Steam Cafe. Any help would be appreciated.

Documents

Syberscream — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 21:53:05 GMT

We finally had time to set up PUF's and it is working great. :)

Just one question regarding documents. I see under users there is a puf folder and a documents folder. How do we implement the documents saves.

example - User does resume and saves in default location...my documents and logs out the file is transferred to her documents folder under her username. I cant get it to do that.

Thanks in advance...

Problems with User files with all games

Caleb T — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 17:55:03 GMT

I'm trying to set up a new gaming center and can't figure out how to get the personal user files to work. I've read the pdf and read multiple threads in the forum but can't seem to get things to work out.

This is my setup right now for the Oblivion stuff:

The personal user file setup options are. transfer on demand, type: files/directories, directory: %My Documents%\My Games\Oblivion\, include files: *, no excludes, and it includes subfolders. It is linked to the game, and when the game loads on the clients it says it copies the PUFs and extracts them, but then they aren't there when the game loads up. I'm thinking it probably has something to do with a dumb mistake in my directory that it's copying to, but i can't seem to get one that works. Also, if it makes a difference, the game is actually being run from the server and is not installed on the clients. I don't believe that should affect it though, because the game is pulling the saves from the computer's harddrive. When signing in on any username on any computer, all the saved games are the same for all users, and particular to each computer.

Also, i'm having problems getting WoW's user files to work. My setup is the same as the previous, but the directory is C:\Games\World of Warcraft\WTF\ and it only copies Config.wtf.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions,

PUF Neverwinter nights 2

Vukar123 — Tue, 08 May 2007 00:03:47 GMT

I am having a problem with the PUF for NWN 2.

The games save the files as:
C:\Documents and Settings\Computer 2\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Saves

I have the dir as:
C:\Documents and Settings\%userprofile%\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Saves
Its creating a profile called %userprofile% and putting the saved game there!

When I try:
C:\Documents and Settings\"%userprofile%"\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Saves

When I try this, I start the game on computer 1 then save it. If you go to any other computer there is no saved game however if you go back to computer 1 game save is still there. Also the game is saving the folder but no contents

There is another thing I dont understand... I have been reading alot of posts and all refer to creating user profiles. Is this a Smartlaunch feature that when a user logs in it creates a temp userprofile? Where is this feature or am I miss understanding. I am not using smartluanch to log into windows.
