 Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:09 pm Post subject: Central 1.0 (your new distributed directory server) |
 |
 |
|
|
Tested on these Platforms (please test and report back 
-----------
Windows 2003
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Centos 5 (mono 1.2)
Please note its currently a tad unstable running on mono/linux and seems to crash occasionally for no apparent reason...i suspect its because my version of mono is very old (1.2) Rock solid on windows on both MS .net and mono though which is slighly confusing...
Currently live at ssdir.playsubspace.com
I created this basically because im sick of CatId's server crashing everytime we seem to get to a certain number of active subspace zones.

Central is a Subspace directory server.
It is designed to emulate much of the behavoir of CatId's directory.
Getting started

Linux
You need to install mono (http://go-mono.com)
Edit Central.config to suit your requirements
If you are using mono, type
mono Central.exe
to start the program (just like running any other mono program)
Other information

You need UDP ports 4990 and 4991 open on your firewall to enable zones and clients to connect

| Kudos on the work, hopefully it remains a stable directory server, since at the moment only Priit's and yours are currently online. I tested it on Vista and didn't have any problems (so far), so you can probably at it to the list as well.

Probably because all the others have crashed since everyone else runs catids

Going to try this on Windows 2003. I can't find Snrrrub around any more -- and there are some critical bugs I found for his directory server running on 2003 which prevent me from being able to use his at all.
EDIT :: Doesn't work. Crashes on start. Server may or may not have .NET Framework 2.0.

Server has .NET Framework 2.0 (has to have it, as it is a requirement to be able to run TCAdmin). And no, I do not know if there is an error message or anything; it would be wise if your program generated logs for these kind of problems. I do not have remote desktop access.

If you can get it to run on your desktop machine, its designed to be run as a console program, it logs its output to the screen...so you really need remote desktop or a console window run/test it.
You're running it in a way i never intended to be run, if you provide more information about your server setup and how you are attempting to run it, i might be able to change it to get it to work...I'm curious how you are running the program without remote desktop.

TCAdmin is a Game Hosting Control Panel and functions the same way as if you executed the file normally yourself; just like ServerDoc too.
http://www.tcadmin.com/
http://www.serverdoc.com/
We do not use ServerDoc though, but they both execute the program the same way as you would manually. There are no special or fancy methods in which it executes the program.

I've just tested this on a Windows 2003 server i have access to and it runs fine in remote desktop. So i think it must have something to do with that... I have uploaded a recompiled version (which intergrates some changes i made some time back to make it more compatable with mono, these might do the trick...)
Alternativly Does TCAdmin support services? I could alter it to run as a windows service.

Possibly. I am not 100% sure, but it's very possible that TCAdmin does. In my control panel there is a page called "Gaming Services." It will list all the gameservers running (or not), and I can manually create a service of my own, start and stop it at will.
I will redownload your Directory Server and give it another try.
EDIT :: By the way, here's the configuration settings I am using:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="DownloadPeers" value="1"/>
<add key="Peers" value="dir1.subdir.net,dir2.subdir.net,dir5.subdir.net,dir6.subdir.net,dir7.subdir.net"/>
<add key="DownloadEvery" value="60"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration> |
EDIT2 :: Nope. Doesn't work. I tried PriitK's too -- and that one crashed upon launch as well.

I've updated the version to fix some bugs that were causing it to crash, don't know if this will fix your problems, but it might be worth a try...
This project is going to be under active development, and contributions/changes are accepted. Code and bug tracking / feature requests to be added to http://sourceforge.net/projects/subspace2/

Thanks! Now I just need to get required libunwind for FC 6.
I'm only having problems with Core 6, always missing some lib, ie. for core 9 there are all libs what I have tried to search. Maybe next time I'll install some other distribution.

One little problem, dirserver (Central) says: Collecting Stats, but it doesn't save them to stats.txt (I didn't change your default configurations at all).
I gave (chmod) 777 permissions to all files. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem with Central.
