Title: server scripting
Post by: steuben on July 16, 2007, 12:49:51 am: i'm trying to get the sevrer script to work
i know the command at the command line is exec <file name> and at the prompt it is psserver -run=<filename> . but when ever i try it i get the specified file doesn't exsist. it shuold be in the same directory as psserver right?

hmm. it looks like the short answer is yes.. but it only works if i loadmap manually first and then run the script.

So if you have a file named script.txt you would run it with exec /this/script.txt
Inside script.txt you can then put things like:
loadmap npcroom
loadmap hydlaa_plaza
spawn
ready
motd Welcome!

And the server will execute them in that order.

Code: [Select]
exec ./serversciiptfor server script in the same dir as the psserver
?

exec /this/serverscript.txt

Post by: Ralleyon on July 17, 2007, 12:41:40 pm: I have a script which starts the server... and guess what it's called. server :D

Output of the file:

[Ignore the #!/bin/bash part if you're not on linux. Also, the profile is useless as you have all the environment variables loaded from the start -- Environment Variables in the System Properties]

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash source profile /opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/psserver -run=/this/autorun
The autorun file contains:

Code: [Select]
loadmap npcroom loadmap npcroom1 loadmap npcroom2 loadmap npcroom_corr spawn motd Welcome to the test server ready
The profile file contains:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/cal3d/cal3d/src/cal3d/.libs/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export CRYSTAL=/opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/cs export CEL=/opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/cel export CSCONFPATH=/opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/cel export CAL3D=/opt/planeshift_cvs/planeshift/cal3d/cal3d

Aaaand... you'll also need to modify psclient.cfg and psserver.cfg by adding the following (removing the old lines):

Code: [Select]
; ****************** ; * Part 3: Game * ; ****************** Planeshift.Mount.zipmapdir = /this/art/world/ Planeshift.Mount.characterszip = /this/art/characters.zip Planeshift.Mount.npcszip = /this/art/npcs.zip Planeshift.Mount.weaponzip = /this/art/things/weapons.zip Planeshift.Mount.itemzip = /this/art/things/items.zip Planeshift.Mount.azurezip = /this/art/things/azure_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.bluezip = /this/art/things/blue_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.brownzip = /this/art/things/brown_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.crystalzip = /this/art/things/crystal_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.darkzip = /this/art/things/dark_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.redzip = /this/art/things/red_way.zip Planeshift.Mount.potionszip = /this/art/things/potions.zip Planeshift.Mount.moneyzip = /this/art/things/money.zip Planeshift.Mount.bookszip = /this/art/things/books.zip Planeshift.Mount.shieldszip = /this/art/things/shields.zip Planeshift.Mount.toolszip = /this/art/things/tools.zip Planeshift.Mount.naturalreszip = /this/art/things/naturalres.zip Planeshift.Mount.foodzip = /this/art/things/food.zip Planeshift.Mount.helmszip = /this/art/things/helms.zip Planeshift.Mount.jewelryzip = /this/art/things/jewelry.zip Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Dir = /this/art/skins/ Planeshift.GUI.Skin.Selected = elves
I think the same goes for npcclient.cfg if you plan to start it as well.
