problems hosting 1.9.3 server

Post by Defman »

Has anything changed since 1.7g2?

Am attempting to use the Field and Stream map (possibly cannot use old maps?) and did notice that apparently we need to specify which interface to use (-i)

Here is the output when I run bzfs;

[steve@ampster bzflag]$ ./FieldandStream
using speed autokick tolerance of "15.000000"
require UDP clients!
using password file "bzdb"
style: 1ce
super flags allowed
rogues allowed
jumping allowed
shakable bad flags: timeout=3.000000, wins=1
antidote flags
listening on 24.118.179.107:5155

here is the script:

bzfs -d -d -d -d > /var/shared/shared/Linux/bzflag/server/logs/`date +%Y_%m-%d_%S`.log +f A +f A +f CL +f CL +f F +f F +f GM +f GM +f GM +f GM +f GM +f ID +f ID +f ID +f L +f ST +f ST +f ST +f ST +f SB +f SB +f ST +f OO +f OO +f OO +f T +f

(hehe, just went and read the log created)

I had -world at the end specifying Field and Stream.bzw but removed that just to see if I could get anything to show up in the server listing. Is it possible we need to specify -publiclist <list-server-url>?

Also, is there someplace I can go to to find out what exactly some of the new bzfs options mean/are looking for when used?

P.S., I realize too that this script appears to be missing another option when using -passdb...I did not make it that far when creating a bunch of scripts awhile back. Some have both options needed when attempting to use the /register thing - and some don't LOL

I dont know where is your error but I can give this shortcut for flags:
+f GM{*} +f L{*} +f ST{*}
*= numbers of flag 2~2000000000000
And you missing the world file or -c and -cr(CTF)
Windows:
-world maps/mapcontest/CTF/newtonsctf.bzw

unix
-world "/usr/games/bzflag/megadome.bzw"

-badwords config/mm/badwords.txt

-reportfile /config/mm/reportfile.txt

-passdb config/mm/pass.db

maps should load fine, the format was not changed, just added too. The maps may behave difrently ( pyramids ), but they will load.

you don't need requireUDP

verify that you can get to the IP that the list server doc points to (http://bzflag.org/list-server.txt)

This is a bug that has been fixed in CVS. The line

ADD 24.118.179.107:5155 1.9.3.20030919-ALPHA linux-gnu BZFS1903

is what your server sends to the list server as a request to be added to the list. The list server expects the format

ADD <ADDRESS> <VERSION> <PROTOCOL>

with no spaces in any of the fields. In the version you are using there is unfortunately a space in the <VERSION> field, so bzfls thinks that the protocol is "linux-gnu", which isn't a valid protocol name, so the server won't get listed.

Btw., you can use +f GM{5} syntax for multipel flags of the same type. Depending on your shell, you'l have to put that into quotes.

Thanks SGI & Chestal,
have made those changes, just waiting on 1.9.4 to make sure it works. No errors are being reported, just can't play on the server...then again suppose I could test it on the lan.

Patlabor,
I was wondering if I needed requireUDP anymore - took that out. Tanks!

not too sure if this is a bug or what, on bryjen's server just now, he had Decks loaded for a map, and we were seeing shots rico into the floor - and not coming back up. Was odd.

As for the paths you mentioned SGI, I have all those files in the same directory as the scripts used to launch bzfs...is that a wise thing to do? Or does anybody recommend sorting them out into separate directories?

later
