Dedicated Servers?

[Gandalf Parker]

Example: ./dom2 -STq --hosttime 0 22 --ipadr X.X.X.X. --port X
creates a graphicless server with an IP a port hosting as soon as everyone has connected and made their turns and at least every sunday at 22.00

(modified to run dom2demo instead of dom2 of course) I get this....
./dom2demo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

Debian Linux without Xwindows loaded. researching it now

You must have the X-windows and OpenGL libraries installed. You don't have to be running X-windows though. It doesn't even have to be properly installed as long as the libraries are in place.

Found it. I downloaded and installed a package called libglib2.0-0 which didnt seem to do it. So after googling for the answer (Im a real good googler) I installed one called xlibmesa3 which fixed it.

Now to find a webmaster who wants to run a domain

By the way, the "run continually on a port" example was very helpful.

Do you happen to have an example of a "process and quit" command line for processing pbem games? Has anyone run one of these and have some experience trying to create and host a game without ever walking thru the menu?

Process a turn and quit is very simple:
dom2demo -g name_of_game

Does the command line way of launching a server have any way to include the map name and game settings? I tried launching it that way on a win2k machine, and the process launched successfully. Only problem was that it blocked on selecting the game name. So clients connected and sat at the 'getting game info' screen.

Oh, yeah... And...

"dom2demo -g name_of_game"

How do you supply the turn data?
