Native Linux server (with management scripts)

[Koolio]

There's lots of things people want to see, doesn't make it any better at interoperability if I change existing stuff to something completely different.

 

well sometimes different is better.. infact in that case its most definitely better because there is no other way (short of me actually doing it from sourc,e compiling and server restarts, but that is overkill when what could be done is a lot simpler and allows for scripting making it much easier for everyone overall), players typing in fake commands directly to chat for all to see because its the only way a hook can be used as you say because its not at all possible to get unknown commands entered to the actual console and passed to a consolehook, not displaying a command prefixed with \ etc that is sent to chat and could be hidden and not sent back and passed to a commandhook... seems ideal

 

and yet its not going to be possible because of some other server manager ive never even heard of that cannot adapt that is just disappointing. Cannot it not just be an option for those who aren't using this other server manager

 

but whatever i don't blame you, you do enough for those running servers, more than funpimps are doing.

So the memory leak, crash details we discussed earlier are:

A few threads are left after 7dtd.sh kill <instance>

killall /home/sdtd/engine/7DaysToDie.x86 fixes that.

 

No issues restarting the game, as I run saveworld in 40 minute intervals.

I tried it on much ways but allways i got the following errors.

You logged in with an account that does not own 7dtd.

[neocrypto]

Yeah i recognized it,

so i redone the steps with my direct steam account which owns 7dtd.

 

but i still get the same errors:

i also installed steamcmd manually etc.

but i still get those errors.

Ok i´ve found the way to setup working steamcmd and installed the game with my account (the one i used for purchase).

I Could start the server instance, but now i´ve got to much errors and can´t join. Pls Help.

 

Here´s the log:

Did you fiddle with the instance folder manually? Looks like the permissions are wrong. If there's no data in yet (i.e. you started a new save) I would recommend deleting the "Random Gen" folder in the instance, make sure the instance folder itself has correct permissions (sdtd.sdtd) and then start it again.

possible to add in the player position of death? would be useful

Hm, ok, weird. Right now no idea and I don't really have any free time today. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

Can you upload all your server files (all folders and files etc.)

then i can place alle the missing stuff and try it this way.

[cynexit]

I had errors similar to yours when I first tried to install/create a 7dtd server. Just like you I installed steamcmd and other stuff manually which, at least in my case, broke tons of dependencies, set the wrong folder permissions and so on. I ended up doing a clean reinstall of everything using only the scripts provided by Alloc; worked like a charm and was done in ten minutes, so if it is possible for you I would advise you to simple do a clean reinstall.

[Alloc]

Can you upload all your server files (all folders and files etc.)

Nope, I won't upload copyrighted material.

We can try to figure out what exactly is wrong with your setup tomorrow. (Or you might do as cynexit said: Install with the scripts instead of using steamcmd manually)

[Isalof]

I am getting some exceptions here and there, maybe you could state if any of them are important Alloc

Do you pass on any of these suggestions onto funpimps for things they could add? The player chat is my biggest beaf as I have to do steamid lookup, when it would be a huge amount of sense if the steamid (or atleast playerid) was passed to the chat logs, players can change name anytime they like, making for continuity screwup unless you log every name changes aswel.. just gets messy.

[Koolio]

Also I've gotten disconnected from the server without actually disconnecting myself... and noticed in the log file the console never does something like "Player <name> disconnected after 48.6 minutes" before disconnecting me on these occasions, it just does the other stuff like

"Player set to offline: <steamid>"

[KaXaK]

hi Alloc,

(maybe a noob question ^^')What do you think about running a server in 64bits? Is it possible? and what could we expect from performance gain?

 

Thx again for that awesome script/mod

[Alloc]

I am getting some exceptions here and there, maybe you could state if any of them are important Alloc

Probably not, but as it's not my code I can't tell for sure

 

 

Weird server crashing sometimes after a player disconnects...

No problem shown in the log. Probably something in the core game that triggers on rare occasions but hard to find without any errors in the log

Passing on: let's just say "kinda"

Passing more information to the log in that aspect makes sense, I will see what's possible there.

"Player set to offline: <steamid>"

The "disconnected after" should be normal, if it is not shown that is more of an error

So I do not know why you get disconnected at those times. I would assume it's an client issue, not a server one, as this message can only be shown if the server receives a "disconnect"-package from the client (which would not be there if the server kicked you IIRC).

 

 

hi Alloc,

(maybe a noob question ^^')What do you think about running a server in 64bits? Is it possible? and what could we expect from performance gain?

Well, for one it would probably allow more players on the server Not sure if it would affect anything else.

Doing so is a matter of having the steamworks integration for 64 bit which currently is not possible. Hope that changes in the really near future though.

[Koolio]

can you add into the webserver api a way to get a players friend list maybe shown through the player inventory or just something separate. Its not super needed but I have some playertext commands that they can use to see who owns a region they are standing in among other things etc, and would be useful to have that extra info.

 

Also is it safe to update engine for new 9.3 hotfix patch? or any script update for the new 9.3 needed?

 

I still desire player /text commands being hidden and passed onto a textcommandHook

Hm, yeah, that should be good

Should be safe, mod is updated.

is there any .sh cron script that could check an instance and start it up if its not running? (ie its crashed seems to have started happening since EAC)

 

not that familiar with .sh stuff only php

server still gets random crashes when someone disconnects it seems

 

at the top of the output file

<log messages>

Don't know why it should and at least I suppose I don't affect this

The messages don't seem to be really bad.

By minimap you mean the ingame one? Could you make a screenshot? Haven't heard of anything like that before.

Well, if it's about real crashes (i.e. process died) you could simply add a cron entry with "7dtd.sh start <instance>". If the instance is running anyway it won't do anything and if not it starts it. Obviously doesn't work if the process is still running but the server isn't doing what it should.

Hi all,

 

I have been running a 7dtd server, though recently this stopped working and even reinstalling on different servers I cannot again get this to work. Have installed manually and through automated installation script. Most recent server installation is through the script. Any errors in the logs seem to have been dismissed through earlier posts as not an error which would result in the server not running. My current server is a 4vCPU server with 4GB of RAM on a 14.04 server. I'm stuck and cannot figure out why this is not running.

 

The server is not connectable on the port 25000 even through localhost via telnet, though the telnet interface is accessible and appears to be functioning. The firewall is currently disabled. No data is being written to the Region directory within the instance. The instance logs are as given below.

Thanks for any help or ideas!

Hm, the log looks ok. Nothing out of the ordinary in there.

That you can not connect with Telnet on 25000 is normal as the game ports are UDP and Telnet tries to make a TCP connection. "7dtd.sh status <instance>" should show you which ports are really opened when the server is running (it should show at least 25000, 25001, 25002 each UDP).
