I have a webserver (linux) with databases and python installed.  I have a rented game server with CoD4.

I go through the steps to install B3.  Few issues:

(1) There is no B3.xml in the linux distribution of B3, so I assumed the b3.distribution.xml was the right file.
(2) I change all the settings in there, and run b3_run.py.  I get an error

Code:

# ./b3_run.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./b3_run.py", line 23, in ?
    import b3.run
ImportError: No module named b3.run

I've looked online and on these forums, but haven't seen anything on this error.  Its probably here somewhere, but I've missed it.  I'm no pro at python, but I did look in b3_run.py and its calling b3.run.  Where is b3.run?  I cannot find it in the installation anywhere.

Help please =/

I doubt this will be of help to you since I use the windows installer version. However when I tried using the source version, b3_run was in the main install folder. Don't know how much different the Linux version is.
You can edit the distribution to work for you, but you have to rename it 'b3.xml' and it has to be configured properly to your database, your game hosts ftp address, and your games IP, rcon password, and rcon port.

make a copy of b3.distribution.xml and call it b3.xml
what is the version of B3 you downloaded ?

[Jimbo]

1.3.3

[Courgette]

do you have the same issue with B3 v1.4.0 ?

[GrossKopf]

Are you able to post a screenshot of your b3 root folder?

[Jimbo]

do you have the same issue with B3 v1.4.0 ?

I'm assuming this is new since that same link gave me 1.3.3 yesterday =/

I'll try it tonight and let you know.

[Jimbo]

Update: that seemed to work.

Its not erroring out at that point anymore, but its not connecting to the database.

Code:

BOT    Attempting to connect to database mysql://*prefix*_b3cod:******@localhost/cod4db
101025 11:18:29 ERROR Database connection failed

Code:

<settings name="b3">
<set name="parser">cod4</set>
<set name="database">mysql://b3cod:**pass**@localhost/cod4db</set>
<set name="bot_name">b3</set>
<set name="bot_prefix">^0(^2b3^0)^7:</set>

<set name="time_zone">EST</set>
<set name="log_level">9</set>
<set name="logfile">b3.log</set>
</settings>

=/ Not sure what's wrong with it.  Should I include the db prefix for the table and the database? 

[Jimbo]

Okay, I answered my own question, now I get more errors.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...lines....
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SEEK_END'

trying to update python right now.  Hopefully this will be the last problem.

which link ?

you need at least python 2.5

=/ Not sure what's wrong with it.  Should I include the db prefix for the table and the database? 

Yes, you need the prefix. For example, if your database name is jimbo_b3database, then you have to put the whole thing. Same with the DB username.

I swear I clicked that same link.  Maybe I found it through another link or something... not sure.  I do have the 1.3.3 download as my last download, and I've only been on this site for 2 days.  So not sure where I got it lol.

Yeah, upgrading python soon.

Yeah, got that part.
