Hey there
on request of a customer I installed BF on my linux server and wanted to start it.
The server hang up in progress "starting", the error log got more and more entries with Error 2 in start.sh.
The problem was found really quickly: there is no start.sh!
Can you tell me where I can get the missing files?
Did you install the game via Gamecreate, or did you unpack a tarball?
In either case, you should be able to find everything you need for BF1942
at the hands down biggest mess of an FTP-site known to mankind:
ftp://largedownloads.ea.com/pub/
If you are missing start.sh, then you are most likely missing more files as
well. But I'll post it here just in case it's all you really are missing:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# Tell non-linux users not to use start.sh.
# This is probably not the most elegant way of doing it.
MYSYS=`uname`
if [ x"$MYSYS" != x"Linux" ]; then
cat << _EOM_
The start.sh shell script only works when running Linux. For help with running
the server on your platform ($MYSYS), please see the various threads at the
official beta forum: http://bf1942.lightcubed.com/forum .
For FreeBSD, follow these steps:
- Enable Linux binary compatibility
- Symbolically link from bf1942_lnxded.static to bf1942_lnxded
- Replace start.sh in the documentation with bf1942_lnxded
_EOM_
exit 1;
fi
# remove old symbolic link
rm -f bf1942_lnxded
# use ldd to look for 'not found' errors
if ldd bf1942_lnxded.dynamic 2>&1 | grep -q -i not\ found; then
echo "$0: using statically linked binary";
ln -s bf1942_lnxded.static bf1942_lnxded;
else
echo "$0: using dynamically linked binary";
ln -s bf1942_lnxded.dynamic bf1942_lnxded;
fi
