Server Help

[Cheese]

ive been messing around with EVERYTHING in as3, and its raising a lot of questions, so i thought id make a topic where i can throw them in without a central topic.


such as:


with this code:

Code: Show/Hide local void Damaged(Arena *a, Player *p, struct S2CWatchDamage *damage, int count) {     chat->SendMessage(p,"You took %i damage. c=%i",damage->damage->damage,count);     chat->SendArenaMessage(ALLARENAS,"someone took dmg");         return; }

and this call:

Code: Show/Hide mm->RegCallback(CB_PLAYERDAMAGE,Damaged,ALLARENAS);

why does nothing happen with a successful compile?

why does it seem that arena->playing and arena->total give the same number, even while 2 are in ships and 1 in spec?

why is there an arena passed to the export function, when it seems that any attempt to get information from the struct fails, or even worse, crashes the server on load?

is it possible to get an as3 server to listen on an external chat and respond to words/commands?

why do as3 zones prevent you from firing for a moment after you get the ball passed to you?

where are my periodic rewards?

is it possible to create a non eLVL region?

why is http://asss.yi.org/ down 95% of the time?

how can i detect a ball or flag win?

why does as3 have ?flagreset and not ?ballreset?

i suppose other people can ask questions here too...

if you want to use the functions (llinit ect.) defined in util.h, you must compile with the associated code in util.c, otherwise the linker won't know how to execute them.

it's like if someone told you to compile and link this program:

int doSomething();

int main()
{
doSomething();

return 0;
}

You'd probably say waht the fuck where is doSomething... that's what you're telling the linker to do

also, is there some sort of command listing command that i dont know about yet?

if not, i will make one

[Hakaku]

[Cheese]

just the basic core ones, nothing fancy...

i figured i would make so a simple ?cmd would spam you with a list of cmds and a basic description on the same line.

just for ingame reference

[anon]

i get that same console error too

[Hakaku]

It just occured to me that I had that problem before. If you'd done a search in the forums you should have come up with this:
http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?p=70710#70710

Basically, edit 'asss.bat' and add the line 'SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Python25\Lib' (or wherever Python was installed) near the top. If you don't have Python installed, then that's a problem too.

Code: Show/Hide @echo off ECHO starting asss... SET PYTHONPATH=C:\Python25\Lib GOTO START :START bin\asss.exe IF ERRORLEVEL 5 GOTO MODLOAD IF ERRORLEVEL 4 GOTO MODCONF IF ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO OOM IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO GENERAL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO RECYCLE IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO SHUTDOWN ECHO unknown exit code: %ERRORLEVEL%. GOTO END :SHUTDOWN ECHO asss exited with shutdown. GOTO END :RECYCLE ECHO asss exited with recycle. GOTO START :GENERAL ECHO asss exited with general error. GOTO END :OOM ECHO asss out of memory. restarting. GOTO START :MODCONF ECHO asss cannot start. bad modules.conf. GOTO END :MODLOAD ECHO asss cannot start. error loading modules. GOTO END :END

thanks, and might that be causing <py> fg_turf to crash the server as well?
pretty sure i dont have python anywhere on the computer...
but at the same time, why does <py> fg_wz work then?

i also tried out

Code: Show/Hide [Listen1] Port=1400 ;AllowCont=1 ;AllowVIE=0 ;BindAddress= ;ConnectAs= [Listen2] Port=1450 ConnectAs=distension [Directory] Name=CZ ASSS Description=CZ ASSS: A test zone. Password=#$(^@# Server1=10.0.0.3 [Directory-distension] Name=CZ Distension Description=CZ Distension: Development zone for the TW RPG. Password=$@(^$@# [Redirects] tw=66.36.241.110:5400:#cheez

in global.conf
the zone reports both to dir, and clients can connect to both ports.
however, they wind up in pub from both ports.
the tw redirect doesnt work at all (typing ?go tw)

[Hakaku]

To answer the other questions...

[Cheese]

[Hakaku]

For the redirect part, ASSS doesn't support that at the moment. You would need Snrrrub's Sendto patch. (If you have it, you should ask him how it works, since I've seen it used for Chaos/League) I also think you need to be on the same biller, but someone should correct me if I'm wrong.

As for the points, they're dealt by the periodic_points module. The problem is though, that esc+c (i.e. clientset) doesn't provide a full list of settings, and it doesn't provide any easy way to expand it if you ever wanted custom settings to be easily changed in-game. (probably should mention this in your checklist, since it really is a problem)
Take a look at the following and make sure you're not missing anything:

Ok, so I was wrong about that part.

You should probably be using ?quickfix anyway

has anyone successfully used the dual-port multizone function?

i have gotten in by 2 different ports, and got it to report as 2 zones to directories, but in the second 'zone' it does NOT take me to an arena, but to pub like the other...

[Dr Brain]

[Cheese]

i was under the impression that one 'zone' could take you to pub, while the second 'zone' could take you to a specific subarena.

i have multipub disabled.
