Server Help

Hi, is there an up-to-date guide on how to set up a SS server?
I tried asss and subgame2, but they seem to fail, and yes I did try to fix the issues.

In more detail:
I ran asss, but the client sais the server was out of date - which now I am trying updated version.

And now I have the updated version, the client does not connect- subbill reports error: : Unknown packet type: 36
What exactly do I need to run the server?
Currently I have ASSS and subbill2

and subgame/subbill came up with an error about unknown packet.

Yay, I can connect and play.
But, it does not list under the zones, and help there?

Put these in your server.ini's directory server listing, and when you download the zones list

ohh, Im currently using ASSS on its own, do you mean global.conf?

I'l try though.

It still doesnt list under the zones.
By the way, I am currently running ASSS on its own, am I missing something?

A biller, perhaps (subbill)

I'm not an expert about ASSS though

How does it work along side ASSS?
I'l give that a try.

Well ASSS doesn't need a biller, it can run fine on its own.
If you want your zone to appear in the directory server list, make sure:

1. That in global.conf, your directory servers are right. Here's an example of what it should look like (you can add as many more as you want)

Code: Show/Hide

Server1 = ssdir.playsubspace.com
Server2 = sscentral.sscuservers.net

2. that in global.conf, [Billing] ServerID= and ScoreID= match [Listen] Port=#. (If they're not there, you'll have to add them.

3. Make sure your [Billing] IP=127.0.0.1
(alternatively, IP=localhost)

4. Make sure that [Directory] Port=4991

5. If your zone does appear in the download list, but doesn't work, you'll probably have to add it manually by pressing "add custom". (IP=127.0.0.1 ; Name=Watever ; Port=#)

Ok, I got it working.
It was the directory module.
what does the billing do exactly?

And also, how do I set up a mysql database with asss?
I got mysql working, its just asss/mysql reports that rows are missing etc...
Is there a sql script to run?

The biller usually stores usernames/password and some other user information like ?usage and such. But I believe ASSS can work as stand-alone. It would only be useful if you had more than one zones, they could all connect to the same biller.

For example, SSC is a biller. All SSCU, SSCX, etc. zones connect to it, that's why you can use ?chats cross-zone, and why you don't have to register in each of them separately.

Ohh yeah I see, so the biller is needed.
But what about this SQL stuff?
I have SQL installed (with connect issues), but it connects fine in asss, it just needs all the tables to be there. Is there a sql script to install a table for asss?

Ok...

Are you loading the alias module? It's the only module that actually uses mysql. If you are, then it should create all the tables it needs itself.

Adam01 · Novice Joined: Oct 03 2008 Posts: 51 Offline

And also, is there a fixed subbil that doesnt hog the cpu?
Edit: Nevermind
But im still stuck on the sql thing.

How are you stuck? Are you loading the alias module?

Yes, but there isnt any tables for asss to use, or what it requires.

CypherJF · Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2008 9:12 pm Post subject:

ASSS will automatically attempt to create the tables when it first loads.... if it did not, it means your configuration (asss, or mysql act) is somehow incorrect.

Post a copy of asss.log after it starts up.

Well, I got rid of mysql because it failed to connect when configuring itself. And mysql has the crappest support ever!
Im going reinstall sql and see what happens...

Dr Brain · Posted: Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:51 pm Post subject:

It only works with mysql. I think you don't really know why you want it, so don't bother setting it up until you know how it'll help you.

Ok, I was going to use it for extra support in matchs, somehow.
