still use it myself

yes

Does it still work?

bla bla

download pls

ExtraQL is unable to launch QL successfully, and no error message is shown. Is anyone else having this issue? If I open extraQL and manually start QL through steam, the functionality (such as steamnick) works fine. I have Steam/QL installed on another drive than C; not sure if that is related.

Hello PredaTHor! A lot of the content doesnt work for me! Extra QL Userscripts,Bots,maps nothing I ask now if somebody would help me? All i need is bots,a few maps.
I downloaded,unsubscribed all that but nothing helps? If you or another trustwothy person would help me i apreciate this very much! GIBS wwas the only thing what works for me.
greetings
Slender-K!!

I have subscribed to/downloaded it, but there is no \539252269\ folder :/

version 2.26 no longer shows up as "playing Steamworks SDK Redist" in the friends list or under "Library / Recent"

Yer got it thanks

You can find the path in the Description a few lines up.
If you changed the default location of your steam library, you'll have to look in that folder instead of c:\program files (x86)\steam

So i had this before but somehow when i had to reinstall Steam i lost it , so i just subscribed to this but where do i find the app now ?

Cheers

you can either deactivate the SteamNick script entirely (click checkboxes in extraQL to show log + options, or change the cvars sn_clan, sn_name, sn_suffix

When I use this it adds "drunk" to my name, how do I remove it? Something to do with clans.

The old scripts only worked with the pre-steam-exclusive version of QL.
Both the server infrastructure and the QL UI are completely different now.

What happened to all of the scripts that there used to be like the altBrowser script?

Update: also re-installed game completely. Still not working.

IT's not downloading into my workshop when i subscribe :( restarted steam and quake and all other extensions and even rebooted pc. Unsubbed and tried again, still nothing.

PredatH0r, can you please add a cvar to the qlstats script holding the average elo, so that it can be used in hud instead of now defunct sv_skillrating?

Unfortunately there is no workaround for the "playing steamworks SDK" issue.
As soon as extraQL loads the steamapi.dll and pretends to be "Steamworks SDK", the steam client thinks you have a game running, until you quit extraQL. Unloading the DLL doesn't help unfortunately.

When I'm in the main menu, steam says I'm playing Steamworks SDK redist. I think this was talked about before in this thread, but is there any fixes now? Only in the main menu.

Fair enough Pred, it's not really a biggy i guess o/

@PredatH0r: thanks for the help and getting back to me.. hopefully at some point this can be worked around, till then i will launch outside steam.. thanks again :)

@Meaty: i know it sucks, but i can't change this.
extraQL must use a valid steam app ID to be able to use the steam_api.dll. I can't use the QL app id because that would prevent you from starting QL (as steam thinks it's already running).

Hi Pred' man, ive just noticed that when using the ExtraQL shortcut to launch the game my status says im "In Game steamworks SDK redist" ...should it not say "In Game Quake Live" ?

@avid:
I am able to reproduce the problem when you add extraQL.exe to your steam library and start it through steam. I tried everything imaginable (including reverting my code changes), but when started this way, the steam_api.dll just refuses to initialize and won't work.

When you start extraQL.exe from outside steam, it works fine. If it ever worked before from inside your steam library, then i can only guess that one of the recent steam client updates broke it.

First..---->THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH!!!!<-----
second....any chance on a read me file explaining 'how to...." that can get bundled with this and with a newb proof link in the gui to it?

hey there. ok, no i load steam and in my library i'd made a shortcut to eql which loads, shows a tray icon, loads minimised and auto launches ql. it also changed my name upon launch. now it does everything the same except change my name. i've just tried unsubbing, loading ql, quitting, resubbing and restarting steam and loading and nothing works. here's the log now though:

[9:25:11 PM] extraQL server listening on http://127.0.0.1:27963/
[9:25:11 PM] Unable to auto-detect your steam ID (needed for the QL config folder). You can manually set steamId=... in extraQL.ini
[9:25:11 PM] steam_api.dll could not be initialized. Make sure extraQL and your Steam client run as the same Windows user and with the same permissions (admin or not-admin).

as per your instructions in the log, i suppose i could just make the appropriate changes to the extraQL.ini file?

Version 2.24 is now out. I reworked the steam-API handling which will hopefully fix the problem.

extraQL first tries to use steamAppId 349090 (QLDS) and if this fails it tries 1007 (Steamworks SDK Redist). Usually one of the two should work.
I'll check the code again and see if I find something. It's always difficult to "fix" something that isn't broken on the developer's computer :/

I had to change extraQL to read your current steam user ID through steam_api.dll so it knows the correct quake live config folder. Before version 2.22 i used the first numeric folder name i found, which only works when you only have one steam account.

Was your Steam Client already running or are you using extraQL to start your steam client?

hey there.. thanks for getting back so quick :) ok it looks like the steam_api.dll thing..

[7:07:47 PM] extraQL server listening on http://127.0.0.1:27963/
[7:07:47 PM] steam_api.dll could not be initialized. Make sure extraQL and your Steam client run as the same Windows user and with the same permissions (admin or not-admin).

i haven't changed anything, this just started happening. I had tried doing the checkmark button thing prior to writing here but no dice. would setting the steamAppId to 1007 fix this?

Is there any errror message in the extraQL log window (tick the Log checkbox)?
Can you change the nickname from the extraQL GUI (with the checkmark-buttons)?
You could try and edit extraQL.ini and set steamAppId=1007 (instead of 349090).

hey there. a few of us (myself included) are now not having our nicks changed upon loading of eql.. anyone else having this problem? anyone savvy on how to fix it?

Version 2.23 now comes with a QLStats userscript.
To enable it, tick "Options", "Log" and then the "QLStats" script.
Use "\elo help" in your console to get a list of commands.
"\elo score" will show you the ratings of the players on the server.

\whois and \elo show an indicator for accounts which have been deactivated on qlstats.net (red double exclamation sign). This is for cheaters or otherwise "special" people.

Thanks for the answer my friend. It's not so bad :)

Unfortunately there is no way to "fix" this.
To change your steam nickname, extraQL must use the steam_api.dll and this can only be done when the loading program (extraQL) provides a Steam AppID to the DLL. Since extraQL isn't a real game, I have to use "some" ID which doesn't have any special licensing requirements attached to it.
By default extraQL uses the AppID of the "Quake Live Dedicated Server", but on some computers this doesn't work for unknown reasons. In that case, it falls back to the ID of "Steamworks SDK Redist".
I know it sucks, but unfortunately that's how the Steam API works.

Hi PredatH0r. When not in-game, its says that I am but "Steamworks SDK Redist", is this a bug that should be fixed anytime soon?

@bobster2525: yes

Does this automate the coloured names?

That did it thx.

I have to restart Steam to download stuff. There is no "download" button afaik. Subscribing is all you have to to.

Download button does not appear after I subscribe, anyone know how to workaround?

!

If you want to put a space in a cvar (and technically /steamnick and the other "commands" are just cvars), you need to surround the value with double quotes.
/steamnick "foo bar" should work.

No idea why, but it seems some people are having general problems with that update.. removing it solved it for me anyhow!
Now my only problem is that i play in two clans, so i made aliases for both for them, one clan has a space between the clantag and player name and this seems impossible to bind this way. :P

@NotueRn "Solved by removing the windows update KB3081449"
haha that needs some light

Solved by removing the windows update KB3081449

Maybe your <steam>\steamapps\workshop\appworkshop_282440.acf file contains bad information about your locally installed extraQL.

First, unsubscribe from extraQL.
Then open the file with a text editor and remove the "539252269" { ... } section.
Then delete <steam>\steamapps\workshop\content\282440\539252269
Restart Steam and try to subscribe again.

Hmm, i seem to have found my issue with booting extraQL: Steam seems to indefinitely update it, i always have one article downloading when i subscribe to extraQL and as soon as i unsubscribe it stops happening(And yes, i do subscribe to other workshop items without any problems.).
