DOOM II zandronum.ini file

OS Name/Version: debian 13

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Phobos” v2.6.5.2

Problem Description: I am attempting to get Complex DOOM Invasion running. I am able to do this locally using Zandronum on my own PC but unable to via AMP. After I upload the files, configure the DOOM II settings, and attempt to run it, I get:

Script error, "complex-doom.v26a2_cdi_1.0d.pk3:cvarinfo" line 5:
cvar 'cd_sharedkeys' already exists
Remove 'cd_sharedkeys' and all other conflicting cvars from your ini and restart Zandronum to continue.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1 - Upload the mod files
  • Step 2 - Configure the order the mods load
  • Step 3 - Attempt to run the server

Actions taken to resolve so far: When I am able to run this on my PC, I would follow the advice of the output, and comment out the ‘cd_sharedkeys’ from the zandronum.ini file. With AMP I do not see that file is accessible for me to modify; or is not being created.

EDIT:

I have attempted a LOT of different things since I posted. I tried to copy an existing zandronum.ini file to the sftp share, with the cd_sharedkeys commented out, but when you start the server you get same error. I also reviewed ALL the server variable in the server.cfg file, and not sure what would need to be change to disable the Zandronum server from trying to issue that cvar.

Any help that can be provided is greatly appreciated!

EDIT 2: OK, IF anyone runs into this, the issue IS NOT fixed via the zandronum.ini file. I found the server simply needed different pk3 files!!! I was being fed bad info from a few forum posts…
