RebootOnNextMap

Post by Buggie »

Admin can make reboot server on next map start. Map will be restored after reboot.

Install:
Add to mutator list RebootOnNextMap.RebootOnNextMap (or to ServerActors - preferred way)

Usage:
login as admin (nexgen login supported too), call mutate command:
mutate RebootOnNextMap

Settings:
you can change TerminateCommand in RebootOnNextMap.ini.
Well-know commands is:

debug gpf
exit

(for use "exit" command you need very specific setup of server [read-only ini files], since on exit server save INI files with overwrite any changes in it)

It should be mentioned that this mutator only aborts the UT server. The restart of the UT server must be done "from outside", e.g. from a loop in a batch file.

Why "debug gpf" and not "exit"?

Because "exit" save ini files. So pending changes in ini files will be destroyed.

Different options - my two cents:
ServerReset scheduler tool which I have modified uses "EXIT". Does this do issues with INI file ? Never !
Why ? Because server uses "-readini" parameter. Low skilled affiliated "Admins" won't damage anything from "inside". Mainly ini files which are important are set Read-Only. This way in operating a server does ZERO headaches keeping server in original state. Changes are operated using auto-update methods executed BEFORE re-starting the server after a crash or a scheduled shut-down. Here is also doable a forced restoration of settings and stuff for map-votes and other various tasks needed for recovering original "known-good" configuration.

Is it worth to make it configurable?

Code: Select all

var config string TerminateCommand;
…
	ConsoleCommand(TerminateCommand);
…
DefaultProperties {
	TerminateCommand="debug gpf"
	// TerminateCommand="exit"
}

Yes ?
Edit:
Perhaps a "mix" with ServerReset in order to gain something more advanced:
- Server will reset at desired time IF game is not running or... when are no players inside;
- If server has players, it will get a reboot after ending game.
So far this is prototype is only in my mind - perhaps I'll do it or maybe is not a real need... :noidea .
