Unable to load sourcepython.

[Nomy]

Hey guys,
I'm having problems loading SP.

Server Console prints this during startup:

Plugins: found file "source-python.vdf"
Unable to load plugin "addons/source-python"

I'm using the release tagged 17 Jan.
CS:GO Windows Server

Doublecheck if everything is correctly uploaded to your server

[Nomy]

I have double checked and also reuploaded just in case it was a bad download.

[satoon101]

Is that all the server console says? There should be a lot more to it than that, unless you didn't upload the ../addons/source-python.dll file.

There was a CS:GO update in the last couple days, but I just checked and it still loads fine for me.

Make sure auth users can read the loader (source-python.dll), as well.

There is nothing else from SP. Just that. I had redownloaded the server files just to check SP on vanilla. But same problem occurs.

I had checked file permission on the source-python.dll and it looks fine. Its not being blocked. The user can read + execute.
Metamod Source loads fine.

Edit: I think the SP loader file is too small? 14KB?
I had older SP file laying around that crashes the server but at least it says its loading. File size: 240KB
Plugins: found file "source-python.vdf"
[Source.Python] Loading...
[SP-LOADER] Could not load library: _engines/plat-win/msvcr100d.dll

[stonedegg]

Mine is 14kb as well and it loads fine.

[Ayuto]

Why should it be too small? The loader only consists of this file. https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/src/loader/loader_main.cpp

However, could you please add

Code: Select all

+developer 1 -condebug

to your command line. This will write some more information to ../csgo/console.log.

[satoon101]

I don't remember the loader ever being larger than 14kb. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain it has always only consisted of that one file, which has had only minor changes. I'm not sure where you found one that is 240kb.

I think that the "Plugins: found file" line will only show up if developer is set to at least 1. The fact that [Source.Python] Loading... isn't showing up means that the loader is absolutely not being executed. I have no idea why this would be unless the file doesn't exist.

[L'In20Cible]

I'd like to say that I'm getting the exact same logs when trying to load the orangebox build on csgo. Make sure you are using the right build:

I found in old CSGO server files, I could share the files if you want. Its probably really old build.

I am sure the files are in right folders. I am extracting the package into csgo folder so it cant be wrong. I check if source-python.dll is extracted into addons folder and it has.

I have tried both csgo and orangebox versions on csgo server at this point. Both doesn't load for me. Gives the same log.

[Ayuto]

My guess is that your 240KB loader was built in debug mode. But I don't think we have ever released a debug build.

Could you please disable Metamod and every other server plugin. I'm also surprised that there are no loading messages from Metamod. I thought it would also print something to the console.

Ayuto is right, that's because you are comparing the size of a debug build with a release one. Note the trailing "d" here (msvcr100d.dll) which denote a debug library.

I think he already uninstalled it. At least, this is what I understood when he said he was now testing on a vanilla server. The lack of "[Source.Python] Loading..." message means the loader itself is not even "trying" to load which still point to a rights issue in my mind.

[Nomy]

Probably is a debug build, I remember there was difference in developers back then. I think you weren't the project leader and l'in20cible too back then. Cant remember if satoon was the project leader, probably was... or probably had a green name on forum.
Here incase anyone want to look at the old version :P

I'm testing this on vanilla freshly downloaded csgo server without any addons on it. Just SP.
I was trying loading SP on different server before and everything else worked sm, metamod...

This is on Windows Server 2008 R2. Are you guys testing on windows too?

The permissions look alright:

This is on Windows Server 2008 R2. Are you guys testing on windows too?

When the project started, ynh and I were the project leaders and Ashbash was added soon after. Come to think of it, I vaguely remember we always posted debug builds in the beginning. Obviously a lot has changed, so those won't work anymore. I am testing on Windows 7 but don't have a Windows Server 2008 to test on. I wouldn't think there would be an issue due to that, but if every other possibility is exhausted, maybe there is.

[Nomy]

I just tested it on my desktop Win7 and it loaded fine. Are there any dependencies the server should have?

@Stonedegg What Windows OS do you use?

Edit: Fixed by installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Thanks for all the help guys!

Ah, makes sense if you are running on x64. I'm disgusted by the lack of info given by the engine when attempting to load fails... I wonder if this is logged by the Event Viewer... Oh well, thanks for sharing the solution, I'm sure this will helps someone in the future.

[Nomy]

I just checked Event Viewer and didn't find any events about it.

I think the biggest hint was the loading on debug build throwing msvc lib loading error.

Windows Server 2008 R2 only comes in x64. And I had x64 version of microsoft visual c++ runtimes installed for another program. It gave an error dialog saying "side by side configuration is incorrect" without it.
But yea the engine should provide more info for not loading. It was almost as if the plugin file was invisible to the engine.

Anyone knows why it didn't use the msvc runtime files that are in csgo\addons\source-python\Python3\plat-win ?

Perhaps we need to verify the full path after this line to make sure it is the correct value:
