Can't start server, dedicated_autoconfig.gm missing ';' ?

I don't understand why my server is not working.

My error message:

Changing game working directory to '/home/kag/kag_linux/Base/'
[] Script error: Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm
[] error (11) [ COMMANDS NEED A '\' or '/' PREFIX ] parse error

Could not load autoconfig file Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm
STARTUP FAILED: Could not load autoconfig file Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm (error in file, missing ';' ?)
THE END
./ds2.sh: line 7: autoconfig: command not found

global sv_maxhack_warnings = 25;
global sv_alloweditor = 0;
global sv_name = 'Great Enemy';

No lines are missing ';', would be great if the error reported what line it thought a missing ';' were at.

ds2.sh:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Running KAG dedicated server"
echo "TO SET IP/PORT/SLOTS/PASSWORD ADD THESE COMMAND PARAMS: ip 127.0.0.1 port 50213 slots 32 password pass123"
mv KAGdedi.tmp KAGdedi
chmod +x KAGdedi
until ./KAGdedi nolauncher autostart Scripts/dedicated_autostart.gm
autoconfig Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm; do
echo "KAG server running"
sleep 5
done


Earlier, I was able to make a server using the pythonscript, but recently it starts a server that no one can join.

 

I had a loooot of times this problem (i used to edit it often), sometimes i found a parse mistake, sometimes i didn't...
BTW your dedicated autoconfig seems really short to me.
Replace it with this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28972927/dedicated_autoconfig.gm
It should work then... ;)

 

I got my config from the linux server article of the wiki.

Using your configuration file 'as is':

Precaching files.
[0] ...Precaching files.
[0] Loading config defines Scripts/defines.cfg
./ds2.sh: line 10: 2560 Segmentation fault ./KAGdedi nolauncher autostart Scripts/dedicated_autostart.gm
./ds2.sh: line 7: autoconfig: command not found

I think the game is refusing to consume the slanted apostrophies, and its giving me errors on some of the lines when I replace them with normal ones. After replacing them with regular quotation marks, I up with:

Precaching files.
[0] ...Precaching files.
[0] Loading config defines Scripts/defines.cfg
./ds2.sh: line 10: 2794 Segmentation fault ./KAGdedi nolauncher autostart Scripts/dedicated_autostart.gm
./ds2.sh: line 7: autoconfig: command not found

 

use ` - it's not a "slanted apostrophe"

one line.

the issue isn't his configure. it's your .sh "script"

 

It wasn't my script, I pulled it from a tutorial off this site. Here is my new error:

Precaching files.
[0] ...Precaching files.
[0] Loading config defines Scripts/defines.cfg
./ds2.sh: line 9: 3087 Segmentation fault ./KAGdedi nolauncher autostart Scripts/dedicated_autostart.gm autoconfig Scripts/dedicated_autoconfig.gm

 

When copy+paste fails, use method #2 :) , ssh to your box, and

Code:

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23114384/files/dedi.sh

chmod +x dedi.sh , and you should be ready to go. (you were missing the semicolon that was part of the until loop). That should take care of some breakage. But it seems there's more. As teemo instructed,you need to use grave accents instead of apostrophes. That should take care of it.

Code:

``````
instead of

''''

No idea what causes the segfault tbh.. What do you get when you run ./KAGdedi alone, without scripts?

 

Running ./KAGdedi :

[0] Variable sv_maxhack_warnings has NULL type
[0] Variable sv_alloweditor has NULL type
[0] Variable auth_key has NULL type
[0] Precaching files...
Precaching files.
[0] ...Precaching files.

On another note, sconfig.py works. It can't be used with the autorestart script as far as I know and for obvious reasons.

 

It's not another note at all, it's proof that your original dedicated_autoconfig.gm was riddled with typos or misconfigured. All sconfig.py does is to create a separate configuration file custom-made with your settings, no magic whatsoever.
