Native Linux server (with management scripts)

Well, h3llghost is running the dedi build just fine for over a week and so am I on both my server and locally for testing purposes. So this must be a problem on your end like some weird incompatibility or broken files.
Without any further information from your side (e.g. logs) I can't do much about it.

ok, works now forget to copy SteamworksManaged.dll 32bit into 7DaysToDie_Data/Managed after update

 
:D

So you did not use the scripts updateengine-command? As that should be doing it automatically so if you were there's got to be some error :(

Hey thx for your scripts. Awesome work. But I have a problem, I am not able to join my own server. Here is the Player Info from Log.

And this looks also not good (output:log.txt):

dlopen failed trying to load:

steamclient.so

with error:

[s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.

I was able to connect to my server. The steamclient.so wasn´t in the right place. Have fun and thx for your work. I am running Ubuntu 12.04.

 
Glad it works now, but that shouldn't happen in the first place ;-) ... how did you install the stuff? Did you use the bootstrapper? (just so I can fix eventual problems so others don't run into the same trouble)

 
I have a question regarding the new removelandprotection feature, which is awesome in any case :D

When exactly does it take effect? After reloading the area? Is there any way to force that?

 
Hm, I would have expected it to be instant ... but to be honest I did not check that and did not even think of that (one of the features that's kinda hard to test with just one PC ;) ). Could even be that it only affects players that join after you used that command. Will have to test this and eventually find a way to propagate the change instantly to the clients.

 
Well as far as I have tested it is not instant. It does however take effect after I rejoin the server, which at the time was empty though. Definitely beats having to restart the server because I have to remove the keystones from the players.xml :D .

 
Howdy all, been trying to setup a server for a few friends and myself over the last two days with no luck. I've tried with fresh installs of multiple ubuntu versions and currently trying to work my way around Debian 7 however I'm running into issues actually starting the server.

I get through the whole installation process, create an instance with all the settings they want and when I go to start the server I get this error, was wondering if anyone has run into a similar issue and what the fix is.

root@108:/home/alistair# 7dtd.sh start Vultr

/usr/local/lib/7dtd/common.sh: line 63: /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon/start-stop-daemon: No such file or directory

/usr/local/lib/7dtd/common.sh: line 63: /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon/start-stop-daemon: No such file or directory

Failed!

So then I hunt down that directory, and see there's only two files there. A make file and a file called start-stop-daemon.c. So I try running the make command and get the following error.

root@108:/home/sdtd/engine# cd /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon/

root@108:/usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon# make

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wno-return-type -o start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.c

start-stop-daemon.c:59:25: fatal error: sys/syscall.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make: *** [start-stop-daemon] Error 1

Some or any help would be greatly appreciated.

 
You need to install libc6-dev. Wonder why that was installed on all my test environments by default and not for you though ... :(

Thank you so much, working perfectly now.

I have no idea either to be honest but can't believe it was something so simple.

What about those errors hinted that I needed to install libc6-dev? I tried searching those errors and had no luck.

 
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

At the bottom you can search for packages including a certain file (more exactly packages that contain a file with its path ending in a given string). Entering the missing header file "sys/syscall.h" there and you got the missing package :)

 
alloc, is there an easy way to send a server msg to my players with your script's help? sorry if its obvious and i didn't spot it :)

and a minor suggestion: at the front page of your wiki, you already have a list of features. but i couldn't find a plain list of commands and their arguments. maybe if you would just put those right below the accompanying feature item... that would be super helpful.

sorry for being so demanding (bash autocompletion.. yeah)

 
Currently:

Code: 
. /usr/local/lib/7dtd/common.sh
telnetCommand <instancename> "say Hi everyone"
By commands in your suggestion you mean the things like "7dtd.sh start"?

 
Are you taking feature requests Alloc? :D

Ive been playing around with Hals land protection and find the features for restoring specified areas and especially deleting keystones in an area quite nice (as in actually removing them).

There probably isnt an easy way to merge both assemblies right?

You wouldnt possibly be interested in implementing something like the keystone deletion feature would you? :D

 
Merging the assemblies: More or less "no".

But you could be lucky and be able to patch his assembly with my stuff. Don't know if there would be any conflicts though.

 
Hey I am currently trying to get this working on Ubuntu 14.04 for my server guide site. for ubuntu 12.04 it ran fine....

I have come to this error and I have re-installed but it not ad the 7daystodie.x86 file...

Here is the error showing the in logs http://imgur.com/dmBfWig
