- changed server start parameters, admin password is only passed in soldat.ini, can specify config file and mapslist:
./soldatserver port maxplayers config maplist

- Fixed logs to not take so much CPU power, all filelogs are now updated every minute only

- Added info in console about Admin connection IP

- /setteam5 works on all game modes

Very happy to see this!

oh no :(, i have made an soldatserver irc live script(players can talk with irc idler's, much fun =)), i dont want to make a 1min-delay.
so plz make it like an option which we can switch on or off, pllzzz =)

Use the old server if it is crucial for you. Maybe I can make the delay moddable in future versions.

i hope so :)
gj with the admin ip :D

Is this version still needeing the fix that TANK wrote?

Or has these issues been resolved with this release?

oohh sry, i remembered i dont use the logs for the irc-live-script, i use it for pasting the scores, phew so it isnt so importent to make it modable :)

>> Is this version still needeing the fix that TANK wrote?
I don't know, it's up to you to test it.

If we can specify config file. Does this mean we can have a seperate file for configuration along with the server.ini?

Say for example I wanted to have the server name, pass info seperate on another .ini file, how would I pass this too the server?

So you get my point I want info to pass from the server.ini file and a seperate config.ini file.

That's not possible right now, but it has been suggested a lot. Maybe something for the next version? *cough*

quote:Originally posted by Michal Marcinkowski- Added info in console about Admin connection IP

What exactly does this do? The only time I ever see an IP in console, is when someone remotely connects to the server. Then it displays the server's IP.

quote:05-03-19 17:36:54 Admin connected (**.**.**.**).

The IP there is my server's IP. Was this what it was intended to do? =/

It shows the IP of the person who connected to the TCP port...

Well, it's only showing the IP of the server for me.

>> Well, it's only showing the IP of the server for me.
Is it like this for everyone?

>>So you get my point I want info to pass from the server.ini file and a seperate config.ini file.
Well you'll have to use multiple soldat.ini files and just change the pass and name, for now.

Great work Michal, thanks for the quick response, im also involved with the same game network as plasma.

This will make setting up a ladder so much easier.

Great job, in testing as we speak :)

The only problem I see with this latest release (windows build at least) is that it will not reply to queries from programs that use the ASE protocol for example.

Is this a bug? When will this be fixed?

yes, i think this bug originated in 2.2.6 or 2.2.5 and also affects linux servers as well.

>> it will not reply to queries from programs that use the ASE protocol

Could you tell me more about his bug?

/setteam5? What is the fifth team?

Michal: Basically, heres the lowdown.

We originally had our two servers up on the soldat client based server running in dedicated mode (-dedicated -start). These servers were queried fine.

However, now that we have switched over to the dedicated server software (2.2.7), our ASE query implementation (which works *fine* on all other ASE games, including soldat on the old server we had up as mentioned above), the server shows as DOWN and we cannot connect to it.

Can you ensure you have the ASE protcol in tact and in working order for the dedicated server files? Im using the windows version, but others (I think) have reported the same with the linux copy (See other threads in this forum).

Can you acknowledge/fix the bug if you come across it please, its holding us back now from having players play and creating a ladder.

This definatly seems to be a problem on the dedicated server itself, as I said, the old server was queried fine with our ASE query implementation, in addition, our implementation works fine for all other ASE games we support.

Let me know if you find anything or need more information.

Cheers

good work michal will test it out on my server when i get back from school and if it works will update to this version box-wide so will cache more bugs that way hopefully :P nice feature with the cpu because live isn't really needed but it would be nice to have that option like someone mentioned, the ip admin thing will test it on my server will let you know but if it works ok will defn. be nice
out for now

Right.

OK, after some testing the server still crashes for clients.

I'm using linux 2.2.7 with logging, and what happens when it crashes is all the people time out during the game, then when you try to request a game it just times out.

The admin console is fully functional, it responds to ctrl+c and I can connect as a remote admin to the server and when I get a refresh of the players its the list of whoever was on when it crashed. Turning off logging did not help this. So the server looks fine from the console, but you can't actually connect. Happens variably, but usually within 8 hours.

Here is what I am asking.

Can I set up a server.ini with the (Client) info that can be managed by clients on it and have a seperate ini file for the server?

What I am saying is. Ok, I know that I can just rename the server.ini file and run multiple copies from one install, that is great, but my question is can I setup a game server for someone, give them a control panel to use which I have a demo for in another thread, and them only have access to change servername, admin pass and server pass? Thus having another ini file for server settings.

server.ini = Server settings that cannot be controlled by user.
user.ini = Server settings thatcan be controled by user.

Hope I am clear on this.

One quick note is, if I made this seperate and just wanted to add a variable to the existing server ini, what is the command to get it too include the secondary ini file?

I am assuming this is for your WebMin panel? Why not just let the user edit only the Servername/Adminpass/Serverpass through the panel of the main file? That way you don't need two files but the user doesn't see options for the other files.... It's not that hard.

puregrain this is not cs... lol
but yea like vostok said alow them to edit only some lines with a php script or such i'm gonna be actually making that myself soon for my guys
and
vostok about that bug it existed be4 this release happened to me a couple of times you can login with admin and all except nothing works and you can't really use it but can still connect weird stuff lol

Michal, just a bit more info for you on the ASE issue, our servers don't even show up on the ASE list even though it is turned on in the ini file.

ASE hasn't worked with the dedicated server for aaages.... Its in the FAQ/Readme or somthing...

tested on a few servers still probs with dieing for no reason apparently in logs usually when someone joins dunno
other than that nice update i guess

Adding bots crashes the version.
Anyone can confirm?

I sometimes get crashes when starting a new map.

This new version requires logging=1 for some reason. Or is it only for me that it crashes at startup if its off?

I don't want loggs, since I tend to avoid all disk-access on my server.

any update on query fix?

considering the ASE query bug has been around for a couple versions now, i would advise people to just wait until a fix is out... you will undoubtedly hear about it if you are anywhere on the forums. Don't keep bringing it up and asking about it, because that is rather pointless

futile yea i got crashed soldat do when i disabled logging... so tere's one bug and still about the admin connected forget who posted but it shows me only the server's ip as well Admin connected (72.36.131.226). (server's ip)
so MM look into it plz cause it's useless if it only gives the server's ip
ty

I'll try to release a patch in the next few days.

Update? :)

I disabled lobby registration
Connection=LAN
Lobby_Register=0

but it still floods:
Registering server @ lobby.soldat.pl
Registering server @ selfkill.com
Registering server @ lobby.soldat.pl
Registering server @ selfkill.com
Registering server @ lobby.soldat.pl
Registering server @ selfkill.com

quote:Originally posted by AquariusAdding bots crashes the version.

I have not had any problems with it, had a server up and running for 2 hours with 25 boogie men and it did not crash.

Karvinen: I hade to hardcode lobby registration because of some problems.
If you don't want to register the server just delete the addresses in lobby_server.txt.

WOW COOL!! I founded a piece from my planned map project, thanx michal.m!!
