Native Linux server (with management scripts)

[qriff]

Is there a way to list admins / mods?My script library is building up nicely but a much needed feature is to retrieve a list of admins and moderators, including ones added via console which to my knowledge are not saved permanently in admins.xml.

With a console/telnet command? Where are they stored?

 

[Alloc]

Ist there any way to extend the give/li commands to include more items? I noticed that f.ex. concrete was missing.

Sure there is but I did not find out yet how to spawn blocks (currently it's items only, that's why e.g. no keystones or concrete).

And just out of curiosity, any idea when u plan on releasing the new release (with the newest server fixes)?

Probably later tonight

Is there a way to list admins / mods?

Not yet.

With a console/telnet command? Where are they stored?

admins.xml, but only on shutdown (and only read on startup).

Hehe ok, thanks for the info :encouragement:

 

[Isalof]

I noticed quite a lot of log-output in the output.log ;D in the following format:

2014.09.02 19:30:48: Add Dirty: -14, -33

Any idea what this could be? Seems like 80% or so of the log consists of this.

 

[Alloc]

Uh, yeah, sorry, should have removed that output for releases

Nothing to worry about, that's actually when the rendering works fine

"Scripts are already at the newest version (v.51)."

How does that version number correspond to anything listed here: https://7dtd.illy.bz/wiki/Server%20fixes#rev.1590.91.5359.26222 or is there another page where changelogs are listed for it?

trying to get rev. 147 (0.91.5355.36217) for the si steamid seems like v.51 does not have it yet?

 

[Alloc]

Release notes for the scripts show you whenever I package a new version of the mod with them. Those say v.51 contain the mod version 0.91.5356.41724, which (by looking at the release notes for the fixes) is some build between rev.147 (0.91.5355.36217) and rev. 154 (0.91.5358.38435) (so not much changed in respect to 147).

EDIT: "With steamid also players that are currently not online can be checked " means that you can view them if they have been online since this version was installed as I still have to store what they had in their inventory.

 

[Koolio]

-nvm I found this https://7dtd.illy.bz/wiki/Release%20Notes

still.. the v.51 I have does not have si with working steamid support...

 

[Alloc]

Did you try it with a player that's online at that moment to make sure it's really about steam id not working?

 

[Koolio]

I see now... so it does work after they have connected and disconnected since I have updated to v.51 (I hadn't actually connected to the server since updating the scripts today and was wondering why it not work

but if they are actually online and I use the si <steamid> it just shows there inventory from the last time they connected.. but si with actual username gets current online inventory... anyway to just have steamid work in both cases.

 

[Alloc]

SI with SteamID *should* work in both cases already.

 

[Koolio]

it doesn't though, the steamid only works for the offline case.. if that same player is online and you use the si <steamid> it just gives you the inventory from when they last disconnected

 

[Alloc]

Nah, it works just fine. You probably just didn't wait for 30sec after the inventory was changed by the player (the server only receives the players inventory every 30s).

 

[Isalof]

I can confirm that si with steamid works on an online player and does show the current inventory.

Is there any way I can add more debug output or something to check why my server is crashing? It crashes daily and sometimes multiple times a day, would be nice if I could figure out why .

 

[Alloc]

Don't think so. Nothing in the logs so far?

EDIT: Do you have many players on it? Did you monitor memory usage? Could be that it's just crashing because of OOM or something like that.

 

[Isalof]

No nothing interesting in the logs Im afraid, the saveworld command did seem to correlate with the crashes, but not always, so its probably just a coincidence.

There are around 15 players on the server. CPU load gets somewhat intensive (80%-90%) but ram seems to be doing ok, even though the game does seem to use around 2GB (log says heap grows to around 2.8GB). Do you have any idea how I could confirm if the game is running our of memory anyways? Does the game run as a 32bit process?

Edit: Well it does seem to be 32bit, is there any way I could try running it as 64bit?

 

[Alloc]

No way unless you find the required 64 bit files (and I can tell you that's basically impossible atm)

So well, 2.8 is quite a bit already, but I can not say for sure if that's the problem.

 

[Isalof]

Well I dont have anything else to go on so I guess it really could be the memory and all I can do is wait for patch to improve that :/

Thats a pitty about the 64bit version, I guess there is no point in me looking if you didnt find it lol .

 

[kakusha]

Hi Isalof. To check your server's status, how about using top command.

like,

#!/bin/sh
sdtdpid=$(cat /TO/YOUR/INSTANCE/7dtd.pid)
top -b -n 1 -p $sdtdpid > /TO/LOG/DIR/top7dtd.log

 

[Isalof]

Thanks I will have a look at it kakusha.

Im getting an error with the newest release v52 which is prevent the server from working, could u have a look at it Alloc?
