[Half-Life 1 server error] Unrecognized game: valve (rehlds 3.0.0.5xx + metamod-r .66 or .73)

[stamepicmorg]

1. half-life 1 сервер на windows. не counterstrike -> regame.dll отсутствует.
2. установлен свежий rehlds 3.0.0.578. (пробовал и на предпоследних).
3. при запуске сервера, при инициализации метамода происходит краш.
4. пробовал запускать чистый метамод без дополнений, вроде amxx и прочего.

[theAsmodai]

Try 1.3.73

[stamepicmorg]

I already tried x.66 and 1.3.73.

I asked @neygomon first and he said about version 1.3.73 too. but It still does crashes.. Therefore, wrote here ..

[theAsmodai]

Ok then I need a crashdump.

[stamepicmorg]

done. catched .dmp file when server crashed.
hlds.exe.3704.zip

[theAsmodai]

Metamod can not load the gamedll. Check server logs.

[stamepicmorg]

ok. i will check it. very strange..

maby because i am using Bugfixed and improved HL release (custom hl.dll)? i will check it too. nope. replaced back original files and nothing changed..

i have only logs at qconsole file. and it clear.

1. downloadded via steamcmd new server with 7xxx build.

p.s. installed rehlds (without regame) and metamod-r on same server, but at cstrike folder - fully worked.

[WPMGPRoSToTeMa]

Try to add -game valve +map crossfire -maxplayers 32

[stamepicmorg]

@WPMGPRoSToTeMa, a day ago i tried at production server (with other arguments. like -game, +map, etc).

ok. i am tested it again. and added other arguments at new test server (form this comment).

same problem.

[hajimura]

@stamepicmorg, now you can check it again and say, will everything work or not

[stamepicmorg]

@Phantomsq, ok. I will try with new build 1.3.76 (17 Jul 17 19:59).

build "Metamod-r version 1.3.74" works fine too.

@theAsmodai, @In-line, @WPMGPRoSToTeMa, @Phantomsq, Success! Thanks! Fixed with this patch from pull-request #12.
