More mac problems (Server shuts down randomly)

[Argitoth]

I turn on two Dominion servers (I copied the application creating a dominions3 folder and a dominions3_2 folder so that mac could run two copies of dominions)

I come back some time later and all of a sudden one server isn't running. Mac keeps closing one server down. It's closing the dominions app from dominions3_2.

WHAT THE (curse word here)!!!!

You don't need to do that.

You can run as many servers as you want from one installation.

VFB, tell me how, because I tried opening the same app twice. It doesn't work.

Also, I got it to work. I had dominions3 and dominions3_2 in the same place. I put dominions3_2 elsewhere. It stopped closing itself.

Like this (old game I ran):

dom314 -T -S --port 8098 --noclientstart -q --uploadmaxp 11 --noscoregraphs --mapfile Whyte.map --renaming --masterpass b1q2fw4f --era 2 -s Whyte &

dom314 -T -S --port 8099 --noclientstart -q --uploadmaxp 11 --noscoregraphs --mapfile Other.map --renaming --masterpass b1q2fw4f --era 2 -s Other &


-T runs in text-only mode. You should have some kind of console on the Mac to run it from. Some of the other options are game-start options you may not want or need.


dom314 is a symbolic link to my executable, you should use whatever command name it has on your system.


'dom314 --help' explains all the options.

so i need to use the mac terminal? how the heck does that even work? Do you realize I hate Macs and therefor have NO experience with a mac whatsoever and everything about a mac pisses me off? Oh well. I got it working. No need to learn how to work the terminal.

The Terminal is your God on the Mac OS. Learn to use it, or die!
