AFS2FS: Kitserver module for easy BIN-management

some answer about the issue with Vista x64 and the return to the desktop less crash?

Thanks juce. The new kitserver did not fix it. Btw is it normal that my
pes2008.log tells me that there are 0 teams in GDB map? Like i said i have GDB v3 installed and gdb update 3.06.

no, that's not normal... it should be the same number as you have teams in your GDB. Perhaps kitserver, cannot find the GDB for whatever reason? but you're saying - it is only the goalkeepers that are not working, or are player kits not working as well?

Energia,
sorry my friend, i've no access to Vista... hard for me to fix this sort of problem. I'll check the source for kitserver 6, to see exactly what Robbie did back then.

I thought that the rest of the kits were working but that's not the case. I have kits installed in the img/cv_0.img directory that's why i was thinking gdb was working but it isn't. I really don't understand what can be the problem. Everything is installed and in the correct way if you ask me.

well, at least that makes sense, and is consistent with the log message that there are 0 teams in GDB. So it seems like kitserver cannot locate the GDB or the map file. We just need to find out why.

do you have the map.txt file in the right place? it should be in GDB/uni folder

Yes, i have the maps.txt in the gdb/uni folder. I'm using a version with the Bundesliga in Other C.

This is my logfile:

alright, i've made a new DLL, added some diagnostic messages.
http://files.filefront.com/kservdll+71020zip/;9632224;/fileinfo.html

Can you try with it, and then look in the logfile, and check if you have a message like this:

...
{KSERV} pesDir: {CPro Evolution Soccer 2008\}
{KSERV} myDir : {CPro Evolution Soccer 2008\kitserver\}
{KSERV} gdbDir: {CPro Evolution Soccer 2008\kitserver\.\GDB}
{KSERV} Couldn't open uni-map for reading: {CPro Evolution Soccer 2008\kitserver\.\GDB\uni\map.txt}
{KSERV} Teams in GDB map: 0
...

I tried the new .dll and i'm getting that message.

also other dll in kitserver 7 works perfectly with Vista x64... the only one that comeback to vista crash, is with this dll...

If you can check it, thank's in advance for all...

Rafnagud,
very good. So it's then one of two things:

1. check the name of the map file. It must be map.txt. Perhaps it has a double .txt extension - like this: map.txt.txt (i saw that once), because Windows Explorer may be configured to not show extensions (.txt) for certain files. Just make sure the file name is correct.
If you uncertain, try this. Open a command prompt window (press Start->Run, then type "cmd"). Switch to your uni dir, and get a directory listing:
cd CPro Evolution Soccer 2008\kitserver\GDB\uni
dir

2. you have some sort of strange permissions set on map.txt file. This is less likely, but still possible.

Juce, thanks thanks thanks a lot. The problem is solved. The file was not named map.txt but maps.txt like the patchmaker said in his readme.

One letter=big problem LOL

Thanks for all the time you spent on this stupid problem.

cool, no worries. i'm glad you found the reason.
perhaps you can alert the patchmaker so that he fixes the readme in the next release, and others don't fall into the same trap

Hi, just to clarify, when importing music files via kitserver's new easy BIN-management feature, do the files HAVE to be in .adx format? If so, what program(s) can one use to convert .mp3 to .adx?

Please help, thanks

yes, they must be in .adx format.
To convert from .mp3 to .adx, you need to
1. .mp3 --> .wav : many free and non-free converters exist. just search for a converter on the Internet
2. .wav --> .adx : use this tool: http://files.filefront.com/ADX+encoder/;3627398;/fileinfo.html

yes, yes i got i sorted yesterday anyway. i asked for help too soon :P

thanks anyway though

i converted to wav with magic video converter 8 (awesome program, torrent it!) and then to adx with dkz studio 0.92B

when i imported however, the songs only came out through one speaker

turns out i converted to wav as mono

but i've fixed it now, works great! nice work juce
