Hey ho!

I've found one thing which is pretty annoying.

If your server is not well configured, and you dont know THAT it is not, this message appears:

You can't change the executable launched at this time, but you could make 'server' a shell script that figures out what to do based on some passed in arguments.

The 'failed to start' message goes away when the server is queryable; its a known issue though for servers we dont have query codes for - I've added it down as a problem.

Well Andrew, you helped so many people here with php-code, you couldn't write me an example script? Wink

Well, it looks like Trackmania Nations Forever is not queryable at the moment....

EDIT: I've noticed that the TMNF Server is not querying at all. On my old machine, it monitored the CPU and RAM usage for the game, so i could find out by that if players have been on the server from a certain time. From now on on my new machine, there is not any data about CPU and RAM (showing 0) although i have been on the server with several people. Is it a known problem / can i fix it?

When I say servers aren't queryable, I mean for player stats - CPU and memory usage would still be queryable.

Maybe the server isn't running, or is crashing (so theres never any stats to collect), or the usage is really low.

You should watch the GC Client console to see if its reporting any errors over a span of say 5 minutes, look for 'Check Booking Performance' messages and whether any errors appear afterwards.

Ah, another question:

1. How do i quit the gamecreate prozess and all gameserverprocesses which are connected with it?

2. Can i watch into a working gamecreate process? How?

1+2: I know that i can start it with ./gamecreate.x86 -f but only a new process.....

Andrew · Mammoth

1. You need to click STOP in GameCreate for each server, or use the 'Server Status' screen on the Host to shutdown all servers in one click (under the same domain).

Then if desired just close GameCreate by terminating the process.

2. Not sure what you mean, but I think you want to add: log-file gamecreate.log, to the gamecreate.ini file (and then run without -f), and then tail -f gamecreate.log

Thanks for that advice Smile

Another great thing would be the ability to add your own aplication. Choose the executable, foldername, settings and files! (Propably including the ability to toggle the query etc.)

Hey

Well, iam not experienced in linux scripts. Can someone here help me with the ONE executable for many instances?

For example:

I have 3 execution files for 3 different adminmods, but only one "server", which gets executed by GameCreate. So what must be inside the "server" to use the command line, so it executes the desired executable for one adminmod?
"server -1" would start adminmod 1, "server -2" would start adminmod 2.

Can someone build me a simple file which i'll be able to expand for further adminmods? =)
