Installation of LogD.

 

installation Instructions.

  1. Because LogD currently relies on Admin Mod for it's functionality, the main step in installation is to install Admin Mod.

    To use the provided plugins "as is" you will need to have Admin Mod version 2.50e or later and it is reccomended at you upgrade to the latest version of metamod (version 1.10.00 at the time of writing) to ensure best the performance possible.

    It is possible to use logD with earlier version of Admin but you will need to make changes the provided scripts, we do not support this.

  2. Once you have installed and set up Admin mod, go into the directory of the mod you installed it to ( %MOD% ). For example if you had a downloaed version of Counter-Strike by default the %MOD% directory would be C:\SIERRA\Halife-Life\Cstrike.
    For the purposes of this document we will call C:\SIERRA\Hallf-life the Halflife folder ( %HL% ) and the \Cstrike folder contain within it the Mod Folder ( %MOD% ). If you don't understand this or don't know where these folders are then you probably don't know enough to continue with the installation and i advise you to stop now before you cause yourself and us a lot of problems or frustration.

    Navigate to the %MOD% Folder.

  3. Windows users should extract LogD_MM.dll from the .zip archive and put that in the %MOD%\dlls\ folder. Linux users should extract LogD_MM_i386.so from the .tar.gz archive and place it in the %MOD%/dlls folder

  4. In the Mod Folder find the file called metamod.ini. Open this file in a text editor (such as notepad) and add the line that is neded by metamod to tell it where to load the plugin from. These lines are different in Linux and Win32 systems. If you are using a windows systems put,

    win32 dlls/logd_MM.dll

    If you are using linux or a similar distribution use

    Linux dlls/logd_MM_i386.so

    Save metamod.ini and close the file.

 

Troubleshooting the installation.

Occasionally this will not work for one reason or another, either a mistake has been made at some point or a file may be corrupt. It is difficult to know what causes these problems most of the time. If you do have a problem carefully check the installation of Admin Mod and your Server then check the LogD installation for problems.

We strongly suggest that you have a complete working server before you try and install either Admin Mod or LogD. If you have any problems with them, fix them before coming to the LogD forums and asking because we are not here to help with generic Half-life or mod specific problems. Those should be taken up at the Counter-Server forums, the forums of the mod you are trying to use, or the Admin Mod forums.
