| 12:34.43 | fernweh | morning all |
| 12:34.55 | blast007 | hello |
| 12:35.50 | kierra | moin |
| 12:36.59 | fernweh | Does anyone know where I can download some of LouMan's maps? |
| 12:37.26 | blast007 | the map releases forum on our forums? |
| 12:38.12 | fernweh | well I feel very stupid now. I didn't even know they were available on the site. |
| 12:38.23 | blast007 | ;D |
| 12:38.40 | fernweh | It's been awhile since I've been involved in the game. |
| 13:33.21 | fernweh | I have the maps but I'm not sure how to launch them with the server |
| 13:33.40 | fernweh | I've tried placing the files under ~/Documents/My BZFlag Files/maps/ |
| 13:33.52 | fernweh | I've also tried launching the server with the -world map option |
| 13:39.29 | fernweh | Okay so I have the Server GUI tool and launched it with java -jar. I think this addresses my issue. Just have to find out where Fedora stores bzfs |
| 13:40.47 | *** join/#bzflag _lmnop (~lmnop@91-64-165-67-dynip.superkabel.de) |
| 13:55.02 | fernweh | The issue I'm having now is that the GUI tool does not actually launch bzfs. Any suggestions? |
| 13:57.58 | fernweh | I'm going to try launching with Oracle's JVM |
| 14:01.38 | blast007 | we do not have a GUI tool |
| 14:01.48 | blast007 | just do it on the command line like most people.. |
| 14:02.03 | fernweh | I've tried launching with '-world' |
| 14:02.20 | blast007 | and? |
| 14:02.21 | fernweh | there is a tool called BZFlagServerGUI |
| 14:02.31 | fernweh | the server doesn't start. |
| 14:02.38 | fernweh | I just get command usage |
| 14:03.37 | blast007 | imagine that. a tool designed for BZFlag 1.7 and 1.10 doesn't work with 2.4 ;) |
| 14:03.37 | fernweh | it throughs an error; 'bad argument -public' |
| 14:03.58 | fernweh | Is that my issue then? This tool is obsolete? |
| 14:04.09 | blast007 | don't use a tool |
| 14:04.35 | fernweh | I normally wouldn't but am having issues from cli. I think I may have found a lead though. |
| 14:04.36 | Delusional | today that is publictitle |
| 14:05.26 | blast007 | and if you're wanting to run a public server, you should really be running the latest v2_4_x code from our Git repo |
| 14:05.29 | blast007 | ~bzgit |
| 14:05.29 | infobot | [bzgit] git clone --branch v2_4_x https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag-import-3.git bzflag |
| 14:07.15 | Delusional | the BZ wiki is also a great resource, it is surprisingly complete. http://wiki.bzflag.org/Category:Server |
| 14:07.55 | blast007 | and there's also 'man bzfs' and 'bzfs -help' |
| 14:08.43 | fernweh | yeah I usually go straight to the man page but didn't find anything addressing my issue |
| 14:09.06 | fernweh | I'm d/l the latest |
| 14:09.20 | blast007 | did we need a "don't use tools from early 2000's to configure the server" in there? ;D |
| 14:10.14 | fernweh | Probably not. It definitely isn't clear that the tool is obsolete though |
| 14:10.43 | fernweh | I prefer not to use a tool anyway. If I can do everything from the cli I prefer that |
| 14:11.30 | fernweh | I'm running Fedora 20 so I cannot imagine that I don't already have the latest bzfs and bzflag |
| 14:12.03 | fernweh | BZFlag server 2.4.2.20130803-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL |
| 14:12.32 | fernweh | BZFlag client 2.4.2.20130803-MAINT-linux-gnu-SDL |
| 14:14.01 | blast007 | that's only the latest release, not the latest code |
| 14:14.17 | blast007 | we've pushed a number of fixes to bzfs recently (like, the last month) |
| 14:15.20 | fernweh | can I build the latest bzfs from that git repo you gave me? |
| 14:15.26 | blast007 | "It definitely isn't clear that the tool is obsolete though" yeah, it pretty much is... it mentions two dead forks of the game on the site (BZFlagX and BZFlag:Zero) and mentions that it will be updated to support 1.11 in 2004. |
| 14:21.33 | BulletCatcher | The version of bzfs in Fedora is adequate for testing and simply learning how to run it. |
| 14:21.34 | BulletCatcher | If you plan to run a public server that you hope will attract players, you'll need the Git version to help fend off a pesky griefer. |
| 14:22.08 | fernweh | Okay so there is a deeper problem here. I'm fairly familiar with the server now and how to launch it. My issue is that bzfs throws and err when I specify a map but otherwise runs okay if I don't |
| 14:22.32 | BulletCatcher | What is the error message? |
| 14:22.33 | fernweh | Do you think this is an issue with my bzfs.conf file? |
| 14:22.49 | fernweh | bad argument "--help" |
| 14:22.56 | fernweh | bad argument "-public" |
| 14:23.18 | fernweh | disregard that first one |
| 14:23.56 | fernweh | for now this server is going to run privately on my LAN. |
| 14:24.11 | BulletCatcher | Then just drop the -public argument. |
| 14:24.15 | fernweh | It's just for me kids, wife, friends and myself |
| 14:24.32 | BulletCatcher | And Fedora's bzfs is fine for your LAN. |
| 14:25.31 | BulletCatcher | The -public argument is for an old version. |
| 14:25.47 | fernweh | BulletCatcher, you know how most problems are solved by something really simple and basic? |
| 14:26.10 | BulletCatcher | With 2.4 you need -publictitle, -publicaddr, and -publickey to run an advertised server. |
| 14:26.16 | blast007 | if you're running a LAN server you don't need any -public* items at all |
