Ok now i ordered a Virtual Server with Ubuntu 2 Ghz 1Gb Ram 100 Gb HDD and 100Mbit Netspeed for 4,49 €/Month today and the Provider say this Server is Gamerserver siutable. So let´s start.
Setup VNC
Setup AAO25
Setup Mods
Setup Controllpanel for Admins
I will make a daily Soap out of it here :-)
Stay tuned :-) :up:
-
Nice (except the mods part...), where is it hosted?
-
Don´t you like Mods? They are the Salt in the Soup :-) Makes every Server unique. No cheating stuff. just lil Fun. The Server is hosted at Webtropia. Looks like they need some Time to set it up :-) But the Price is really good. Windows is available for same Price btw. But i decided to use Ubuntu.
Maybe some will follow and help keep 2.5 alive.

http://www.webtropia.com/de/vserver/vserver-vs-linux-s.html
4,49€ first 3 months, after that it will be 8,99€.
I was looking for something like that but UK to host 2 or 3 Official Game Servers. If anyone knows prices like that let me know please.

DAY 2:
Today i got all info to start!
So tightvnc was installed and AA2.5 is just installing and starting. The Server Name should be -=FP=- Flyingpigs Server 2. Sure it will change. But atm i just need to know if it works. We´ll see :-)
The nano aa25.ini command didn´t work with ubuntu 12.10. no such command. I edited the file local and uploaded it. :-) Now it needs very long to decompress files. But im on a good way :-)
stay tuned
-
Oh yesss Server is online with very low Ping and SF Mod. Working great. Now just some Cosmetics to do :-)
-
if you need a lipstick, just tell me :D

if you need a lipstick, just tell me :D
hhmmmmmmmmmm :suck: :cheer:
-
hi, i made a project similar to you www.freeserver.ca
for you nano command, try that
apt-get install vim
after that use vim aao25.ini
Have fun if you need help just contact me ;)
-
ah thank u mate!Very helpfull.
But i have another Problem!
When i start Server with ./server-bin GLOBAL bridge via SSH console the Server kills when i close the Console. How do i keep the Server alive without stay logged in via SSH? I tried & at the end of the Command. But that didn´t work.
Any Ideas?
Thank you

pm send

why is this becomming a scope-game? no skill anymore. and, why is no one modding sf server to m16? always this one way street with scope scope scope and super jump or sniping shotgun. why not mod to no-jump...?
its just a shortcut to skills that are false imho.
-
Makes every Server unique.
a modded server is not unique when every other server is a modded server. :shock:
-
no jump, m4, reduced life + cqb map.
-
yes, why jumping and shotguns?
good question.
we should sit around the map, having a party, no shooting at anybody, drinking beer, having fun.
but some should bring some girls in, otherwise no fun.
;)
-
Well jump around with SHotguns may be childish. But let player choose the Weapon they want is usefull i think.
But now back to the Project :-)
After 1 week the Server is running well and mostly busy. No Performance or Speed or Lag Problems. But if you don´t know much about Linux then u r F.CKED ! :-)
1. Problem was to keep Server alive when u close SSH Console. WIth help from here i know how now. Thanks alot for that! Maybe this should be added to the aa25 Linux dedicated Server Readme.
2. How to simply restart the Server. I still don´t know how to do this. I can restart but it is so complicated. There must be an other way. I have to find out.
3. Still looking for an extra Control Panel to manage the Server like restart.......!Maybe i try this one. http://teklab.de/ sorry it is german.
4. Is there something like Account History for 2.5. The entries at anticheat are only till 2.8.x ended.
5. Is there a way to simply watch screenshots? maybe with PBCool? THis was very cool but looks like Graf stopped it and doesn´t continue http://www.server-viewer.de/
So i hope u can give me some usefull Answers :-)

Well you could use the command Screen. But first, what program are you using to connect SSH? That's also very important as Putty may be powerful but there are better option out there now.
I recommend you WinSCP:
http://winscp.net/eng/download.php
There also Bitvise SSH Client:
http://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client-download
But i have been using for now mRemoteNG with kitty (putty sub):
http://www.mremoteng.org/download -> this one allows me tabbed sessions, so i can connect to different SSH connections with only one program open.
Now about your question, i also didn't knew it before i needed during this week so i googled and found this that i have also been using.
After you login to you VPS by SSH, type screen, if it says there isn't installed, then type for the first time apt-get install screen (worked for me), so after installed type the command and only after that you type ./server-bin GLOBAL weapons_cache (or whatever map). When you need to get out or leave just press CTRL+A and right after press CTRL+D, you can now type exit or just close the window. Next time you login you just type screen -r and it will restore your previous session.
I'm really new to linux so i may have typed some non sense but at least works for me.
2. How to simply restart the Server. I still don´t know how to do this. I can restart but it is so complicated. There must be an other way. I have to find out.
I have been typing ps aux | grep server-bin, i get the process id and after i just type kill id_number, like kill 3214. After i just need to start the server again, it should be very quick. Don't know if there are better ways to do it...
3. Still looking for an extra Control Panel to manage the Server like restart.......!Maybe i try this one. http://teklab.de/ sorry it is german.
Not using one but there are options like:
http://www.tcadmin.com/
Or free like:
http://www.brainless.us/Products.aspx
4. Is there something like Account History for 2.5. The entries at anticheat are only till 2.8.x ended.
There are but only for private stuff at the moment, for security reasons. It may be open to the public in the future but for now if you need any info you can just PM me and i will answer when i can.
5. Is there a way to simply watch screenshots? maybe with PBCool? THis was very cool but looks like Graf stopped it and doesn´t continue http://www.server-viewer.de/
You can watch directly from your server, check the folder:
armyops/System/pb/svss -> there should be a html file there, msgpbssv.html or pbsvss.htm. Check with your provider if they offer html access to files, if so you can access those main files and check all server SS.

I'm running 3 servers on Debian 6 x86, but on 2 different VPS:
First:
http://battletracker.com/aaoserver/176.58.97.74:1716/
http://battletracker.com/aaoserver/176.58.97.74:1720/
Second:
http://battletracker.com/aaoserver/92.48.80.207:1716/
The 3 servers have some ini tweaking, tickrate and other stuff. If anyone wants to test them and give me some feedback later please. And btw, i may be able to rent 1 server or 2 if you like ;)

have you seen this on other thread? of course has to be edited, but that with restart and so - not that bad i guess.

Are you login throw ssh to root account?
Are you running game server as root?
-
doesn't is should be in the
ServerMessage.cfg ?
you will find it at the system\pb folder. try that.
this you do not have to start, it's automatic started i guess.
-

http://46.228.199.116/root/armyops/System/pb/svss/msgpbssv.html doesn´t work for me. HELP :-)
you need to run a web service like apache to make them visible/accessible to all over the world,
if you mean someting like i did on our servers (www.swiss-clan-site.enjin.com) left side).
oh, i just did see that you are running an apache server already. i can post you my config. i guess you have a problem with the rights and config of apache.
-
Ca u please try watching my Screenshots? The ip and path is written above. Apache Tomcat is running. Or help with config Apache if needed?
Oh and this Chatlog thing would be great too. I had this with 2.6 with SSGR by S-O-T Nutter. But only 2.6.
-
sur, i will do so this evening
-
the config for Apache i did send you with pm.
after loading the config file, i only do this command at my clan page:
http://178.196.49.30:8080/server0/msgpbssv.html
but do not forget to define the port you want to join over- normaly it's 80 (on my side it's already used for others, so i did define port 8080). yours should look then like:
http://46.228.199.116:80/xxxxxxxx.html
and for the chatlog:
Prog: http://www.s-o-t.com/uploads/ACIChatLogger20_Release.zip
Instructions: http://www.s-o-t.com/uploads/CLReadme20.html
enjoy :D
btw: your link did not work, sorry
-
Ok I setup Chatlogger and it is installed and the ChatLogs.html is where it should be. I found it with sudo find / -name ChatLogs.htm in the pb/svss Folder.
I used the modfied Version by Possessed called SOTChatlogger. Same as ACI but optimized for 25.
Server works. But can´t access ChatLogs.html by http://46.228.199.116/46.228.199.116/ChatLogs.html.
Does this have to do with this Apache Config again?
-
i guess it is more the one problem.
first you should not install a application into root, because root isn't world readable.
so you can change the rights to make it readable. do so by
chmod o+rx /root
maybe thats all about the access problem
but your link for the chatlogs is strange (better the one for PB sreenshots). you have 2 times ip address. strange.
try that with the rights first. if not working, just make the config-file (the code is the same like mine, but other location) with your path and filenames.
good luck
btw: the link for the chatlogger should looks like
http://46.228.199.116/root/armyops/System/pb/svss/ChatLogs.html
-
and for the server rules, if you do not have the ServerMessage.cfg in the pb folder, just create it.
there you put in the Messages.
