mat i cant figure out how to use pyspades i downloaded it and extracted it and ran run.exe and it comes up with this error
"Run.exe/twisted/internet/iocpreactor/reactor.py:29: UserWarning?: pyOpenSSL 0.10 Or Newer is requiered For SSL in iocpreactor. It is missing so the reactor will not support SSL APIs.
help??

I got that when i first tried. Re-extract it. Dont change the config. Run it. See if you still get an error.

Bump.

ok i went in the config and changed somestuff and now i get
C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\My Documents\Downloads\dist>run.exe

and when i go round and change some other stuff on that line and column other and fix it or change it another line or column is messed up...on his website he said you only had to change the name admin password and map for it to work but that gives me this error...the same one at the top
"Run.exe/twisted/internet/iocpreactor/reactor.py:29: UserWarning?: pyOpenSSL 0.10 Or Newer is requiered For SSL in iocpreactor. It is missing so the reactor will not support SSL APIs.
so idk if its me or whats up but if someone can help that would be great

ill try and find help in anyway possible!

thank you

Does it work with the default values in config file? If yes then probably you've messed up this file so try to find any missing ' and "

You are probably missing a comma

Why not post your config file here? If you've set a password change it to something else first though.

this is what i have now this is all just test

harry where did you add the , and ] i cant find it?

you took out other important stuff, don't change this:

"motd" : [
"Welcome to %(server_name)s!",
"Map is %(map_name)s by %(map_author)s.",
"(server powered by pyspades)"
],

you really should be at least testing the default config before asking for help:
http://code.google.com/p/pyspades/source/browse/feature_server/config.txt

then i get this when i add that ] and,

C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\My Documents\Downloads\dist>run.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\My Documents\Downloads\dist\run.exe\twisted\in
ternet\iocpreactor\reactor.py:29: UserWarning: pyOpenSSL 0.10 or newer is requir

t SSL APIs.

i did test the default config bro

turns out i didnt have the defualt...or the link you gave me is wrong so i copy pasted what was in the link and got this

C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\My Documents\Downloads\dist\run.exe\twisted\internet\iocpreactor\reactor.py:29: UserWarning: pyOpenSSL 0.10 or newer is required for SSL support in iocpreactor. It is missing, so the reactor will not support SSL APIs.

This is just warning (you have old library and some features are not available). The server should be on, I think.

Yeah, the pyOpenSSL warning is irrelevant. I just didn't want to distribute pyOpenSSL because it adds to the build size, and we don't use SSL APIs anyway, so yeah.

In regards to the config problems: it's JSON, so if it's saying you fucked up your configuration, use something like http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ to check it.
