Hi all,

I have a sever up and running on my local network that I start with a Linux shell script, and have Map Vote Ultimate running on.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

NAME=`basename $0`
SERVERDIR=/local/home/afra/UT/Server_32
SYSTEMDIR=$SERVERDIR/System
SERVERINI="$SERVERDIR/Config/Server.ini"

TEST="0"

SERVERBIN="./ucc-bin"
STARTMAP="CTF-Face.unr"

if [ "$TEST" == "1" ]; then
  GAMETYPE="BotPack.DeathMatchPlus"
  MUTATORS="MVU3.BDBMapVote"
  echo "Running test!"
else
  GAMETYPE="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletCTF"
  MUTATORS="MVU3.BDBMapVote,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUWeaponModifier,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUReplace,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.DeemerToLRPC,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut,NoSelfDamage.NoSelfDamage"
  echo "Running gauntlet"
fi

#GAMETYPE="BotPack.DeathMatchPlus"
#MUTATORS="MapVoteLA13.BDBMapVote,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix"

if [ -z "$MUTATORS" ]; then
  SERVERPARAMS=" server $STARTMAP?game=$GAMETYPE? ini=$SERVERINI log=ut.log -nohomedir"
else
  SERVERPARAMS=" server $STARTMAP?game=$GAMETYPE?mutator=$MUTATORS ini=$SERVERINI log=ut.log -nohomedir"
fi
echo $NAME

case "$NAME" in
	go)
		rm Logs/*
		cd $SYSTEMDIR
echo "$SERVERBIN $SERVERPARAMS"
		$SERVERBIN $SERVERPARAMS &
		;;
	stop)
		killall -9 ucc-bin
		;;
	*)
		echo "Error, must be called as 'go' or 'stop'"
		;;
esac

In my MVU_Config.ini I have lines like these :

Code: Select all

CustomGameConfig[10]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletDM",NewPrefix="EGDM",mutators="MVU3.BDBMapVote,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUWeaponModifier,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUReplace,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.DeemerToLRPC,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix,NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut,NoSelfDamage.NoSelfDamage",Settings="timelimit=10,maxsmall=8,maxmed=6,maxbig=4,maxhuge=3,maxgiant=1",Packages="")
CustomGameConfig[11]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletCTF",NewPrefix="EGCTF",mutators="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletMutator,MVU3.BDBMapVote,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUWeaponModifier,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUReplace,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.DeemerToLRPC,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix,NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut,NoSelfDamage.NoSelfDamage",Settings="timelimit=10,maxsmall=8,maxmed=6,maxbig=4,maxhuge=3,maxgiant=1",Packages="")
CustomGameConfig[12]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletDOM",NewPrefix="EGDOM",mutators="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletMutator,MVU3.BDBMapVote,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUWeaponModifier,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUReplace,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.DeemerToLRPC,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix,NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut,NoSelfDamage.NoSelfDamage",Settings="timelimit=10,maxsmall=8,maxmed=6,maxbig=4,maxhuge=3,maxgiant=1",Packages="")
CustomGameConfig[13]=(bEnabled=True,GameClass="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletAS",NewPrefix="EGAS",mutators="Gauntlet-10-BetaV4.GauntletMutator,MVU3.BDBMapVote,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUWeaponModifier,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.EXUReplace,ExuWeaponsLiteV4.DeemerToLRPC,GauntletAssaultFix.GauntletAssaultFix,NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut,NoSelfDamage.NoSelfDamage",Settings="timelimit=10,maxsmall=8,maxmed=6,maxbig=4,maxhuge=3,maxgiant=1",Packages="")

Question is, is there a neater way of doing this like loading the list of mutators from a file, as I'm about to add a load more, and this is going to get pretty unwieldy soon......

Cheers.

Phill.

Not sure about all that, but if you're just starting out you may want to limit the number of mutators you use. Less for other people to load up to join your games.

How I define mutators to load in file ucc.init.rc (I split ucc startup code from its variables because I'm running multiple servers):

Code: Select all

UT_DIR=/home/ut99/ut-server/7777/

UT_MODS=MapPatcherSvr.MapPatcherSvr,MapVoteULv1_2.BDBMapVote,SBQueenSaverV2.SBQueenSaver,SBMutatorFastWarShell-V5.SBMutatorFastWarShell,SBFactoryMonsterCounterV1.SBFactoryMonsterCounter,CoopTranslocator12.CoopTranslocatorMutator,MHTranslator2.MHTranslatorMutator,UserMute.UserMuteMutator,GiftFromDecoration.GiftFromDecorationMutator

# SBMapInfo only for local test server
UT_MODS="$UT_MODS,SBMapInfoV3.SBMapInfo"


UT_BIN=ucc-bin-x86-7777
…

Ofc you must adapt your shell script to use these variables AND to include the RC file, for example with . ucc.init.rc.
EDIT: I just noticed this will not help if you run different mutators with the map vote system.

Right,

So having played around a little it seems that in map vote if my custom map type specifies mutators="" then it will continue to use the
current set of mutators. So Since this server will only be running gauntlet, and not any other game type I can just define the mutators in
the Shell script, and just use variable concatenation there to make things more manageable.

Cheers.

Phill.
