Ah, the thing thats happening here is, start.sh does transfer/use the same pid of the bf2 process which gets launched.

If you update start.sh with:

exec bin/.../bf2

As opposed to just
bin/.../bf2

The problem wont occur. Can you do that and check if this fixes the problem?

[Guest]

you mean just put that in the GameCreate Command line ?

start.sh exec bin/.../bf2 +config "configs/16567/serversettings.con" +mapList "configs/16567/maplist.con" +pbPath "configs/16567/pb" ??

[Andrew]

Nope, actually open up start.sh in your text editor and update it.

I will look into having our end updated, but its usually undone when a patch is released.

[Reality]

the above what i posted did not work, so i guess you didnt mean me to do that

explain if you can im a little confused

[Reality]

oop hold on

# Make the OS give us .core-dumps if the server crashes
ulimit -c unlimited

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BINARY_DIR
exec $BINARY_DIR/bf2 "$@"


Which bit do i edit there?

[Andrew]

Hmm seems like its already there (exec $BINARY_DIR/bf2 "$@" )

When the servers launched, see if its queryable/connectable via BF2 and just disregard the 'check failed' error for a moment - see if the process has indeed crashed.

[Reality]

i am using HLSW to check if the servers are running or not: with the 29900 extention it needs to see the server e.g. 81.19.219.142:16567:29900

It works if i type it in manually, but if GameCreate tries to do it it does not ping and GC also reports failures of the following:

Stop GameCreate stopped Battlefield 2 Server. 9/26/2006 5:52:15 AM
Fail Process failure (Server crashed?) 9/26/2006 5:52:14 AM
Fail Query Failure 9/26/2006 5:52:13 AM
Start GameCreate attempted to start Battlefield 2 Server. 9/26/2006 5:51:20 AM

[Andrew]

Run the server manually from the command line that GameCreate uses, and then attempt to see if the server is queryable.

[Reality]

Thats what makes me so confused. I have done so and it is queryable. I have used the exact same commandline that GameCreate uses and the server starts

[Andrew]

The process ID must be changing.

Is this for a BF2 or BF2 Demo server?

bf2 server

[Andrew]

Your command line says exec bin../// dont do that.

Revert the command line to what it was before (just starting with start.sh) and run it.
