Hello,
I have a Linux host, and when I install in a subdomain "GTA: San Andreas" (gtasa), GameCreate set CHMOD to 777 only to "samp03svr" file (the start file), but no to "announce" e "samp-npc" executable files.

The first file "announce" add the gtasa server to public listing in SA:MP client, and the second file "samp-npc" start the server bot (added in the SA:MP 0.3a).

How can I resolve?

P.S.: I have tried to create Custom Package, with adding by default CHMOD 777 to those files, but no resolve.

----

Anothere request: In the Windows host, if I using GameCreate for "GTA: San Andreas", the "announce.exe" start automatically if in the server.cfg there is the string "announce 1", but in Linux, if I set manually perms to 777 on file "announce", this not start.

Hi,

Correct, by default GameCreate only chmod's the executable its about to start.

It sounds like you've made a custom package, great.

What you can do now is create a new file on your content server:

/wwwroot/linux/gtasa.op.txt

Inside it, add filenames you would like to make executable, each on their own line:

Grat!
But if I don't add the samp03svr to the gtasa.op.txt file, it's is not executable.

Now the samp-npc start, but if I add or remove this code to the server.cfg (from GameCreate) the announce don't start.

Probably because GameCreate does not copy the current environment variables (such as $HOME) before launching the process.

See this post http://www.gamecreate.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8321&highlight=#8321 for more information. Try creating your own wrapper script for 'announce' (rename announce to announce_real and make the wrapper script called announce).

But, how I can set $HOME to game directory?

[Andrew]

Try making this a file in GameCreate you write out, and use %server:directory% variable in the file definition to obtain the current directory path.

I have renamed file announce to announce_exe.

From GameCreate I have created the file announce with this content:

Try running GTA SAMP in a SCREEN session (choose Require Screen via Game Configuration).

Add this line after ./announce_exe $@:
sleep 10000

Then when the server starts, attach the screen using screen -r via shell, and look for any errors printed to the console window after it tired to start announce_exe

On SSH:

Make sure you're running the latest GameCreate Client (Download on the left), and that 'require screen' is chosen.

I'll update GameCreate this weekend on my hosts, and after I retry.

Thanks for now.
