Network Server host question
I'm running a network server game for the first time, and it seems to be working properly, and the game is started.
Only thing is, it's hijacked my ALSA sound, because I started the server though the menus just by running 'dom3' with no args. Is it safe to stop and restart the server? I assume so, but I don't want to interrupt the game by not knowing how to restart it. I think I should click 'Quit' in the server Gui, then run it from the command line with something like this: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> /usr/local/bin/dom3 -T -S --port 1024 -q --scoredump --mapfile tyrande_103_map_free.map --era 1 -s b2 </pre><hr /> "b2" is the name of the game. Since it's already started, do I need to specify mapfile and era and quickhost? Or is this enough: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> /usr/local/bin/dom3 -S -T --port 1024 --scoredump b2 </pre><hr /> |
Re: Network Server host question
Answers:
A) You can stop it and restart it with no problem. B) most of the starting items (like map) are unneeded on a restart but quickhost is needed C) that line might work. And it should also ask you in text mode for anything it needs. Notes: A) Technically, thats how its meant to be run actually. As a pbem and not as a continual server. B)but I find it safer to put them in than to try and figure out what I can leave out. C) You might want to put that line in a script and make it executable. That saves you haveing to rememeber all this when someone asks for a change such as --hours 24. And it iwll let you do things like nice nohup dom3 xxxxxxxxxxxxx & You should also get in the habit of putting a master password on the game. Its a real pain to have a game die months into it because you cant change a player. |
