MacTremServ

[GrooveMachine]

Hey, today I created a shel script (mac only) that installs all the necessary files to maintain a tremulous server on a mac.  Hope you guys find it useful!  Oh, and by the way, read the readme (called Read This First) before you execute the script.  It's REALLY important, seriously.  I would love to hear feedback from you guys on it if possible.  Bear with me if it's a little buggy, because it's my first script.  I tested it on my computer though, and it worked perfectly.

Oh, here's the link:

Enjoy!

Please do me a favor and read this.

[GrooveMachine]

I'm sorry that it's not perfect, and is simple.  I based it off of the text at tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt, and come on!  It's my first script ever, and I'm still a Unix BEGINNER!  There's really no need for pipes and outputs and whatever other glitter you want to put in there.  Think of my script this way: it's the same as what's on tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt, but I added some helpful tips in the readme file.  I know it's probably frustrating that I suck at writing shell scripts, but like it said on the site that you posted, "the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts", and that's what I'm doing.

#! /bin/bash :roll:

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Ive run the terminal window, everythings installed, how do you run the server.

Personally I am impressed with this script, v. useful, I think.

[Death On Ice]

Nice Work, GrooveMachine.

(Remember me from in-game?  :wink: )

[GrooveMachine]

Of course I remember you, Death.  Thanks for the comments, I'm glad to finally get some feedback.  Ninja, to start up your server, type the following in terminal:

cd /Applications/Tremulous (press return)
./tremded.ub +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg (press return)

Oh, by the way Ninja, that's in the Readme (included with the download) for future reference.

Hey, I just finished version 2 of the script, complete with an uninstaller.  Also, I fixed a problem in version 1's installer, so yeah.  You want to run the uninstaller file before installing the new one, just so you know, and you will most likely get some sort of error message.  Don't worry about it, just run the installer next.

Here's the link for the latest version:

Thanks for using MacTremServ!

but how dyu uninstall V1?

It aint in the reame.

(actually, by my alertness, it could be)
Your link aint workin cos the server aint responding.

[next_ghost]

Could you PLEASE read your script again and then this? :roll: MacTremServ.sh is not a valid script and it tries to download a file called game.qvmcurl from TJW's site.

[GrooveMachine]

Ninja: To uninstall V1, run the uninstaller in V2.  It should work just fine.
Ghost: Thanks for pointing out that mistake: I fixed it earlier, but somehow it came back to haunt me in V2!!!  Oh, also Ghost, what do you mean by "the script isn't valid"?

You can get MacTremServ here:

Thanks for your support!

Methinks I'll contribute something.

Some server files from an experienced operator.

Here are some command blocks and command files, which can be found here:

[GrooveMachine]

Great, now what do do I know with them?  Where do they go?

[GrooveMachine]

Hey, sorry to double-post, but after some more script-work, I made yet another version of MacTremServ, even better than before! It has a file to open your server, and one to restore the non-changing server files (NOT SERVER.CFG, OR ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD EDIT).

Here's the link for the latest version:

http://www.divshare.com/download/1523630-253

Enjoy!

Oh, I need some suggestions for additions to MacTremServ for future versions (Death, I'm working on your base files as we speak).  Thanks!

[Death On Ice]

No Problem. You know what to do with them now, correct? Glad to see another version.

This should be stickied, by the way  :wink:

[GrooveMachine]

Hey, thanks Death.  Now that I have 62 server commands, I can share them all with everyone else!  Version 5 is out now *pant*, with the new admin.dat file and commands built in.  Here's the link for the latest version:

http://www.divshare.com/download/1523630-253

Enjoy!  Once again, I want feedback.  I'm pretty sure that this works perfectly (it worked for me just fine), but i want some confirmation, if possible.  I'd also like some suggestions for what to add, because my well is dry.  Thanks!

what do you mean by "the script isn't valid"?

#! /bin/bash

[GrooveMachine]

I'm sorry, but what does that mean?  I probably sound stupid, but I want to know what isn't valid.

-GrooveMachine

[Death On Ice]

Want an example maprotation.cfg and server.cfg?

You can build "Version Two" of my server files into your script if you want.

Here it is.

I'm sorry, but what does that mean?  I probably sound stupid, but I want to know what isn't valid.

-GrooveMachine

#! /bin/bash
That's a one-line difference between valid and not valid script file. Why and where to put it is described in introduction of that ebook I've linked here 2 times already. Your script won't work in any other shell than BASH. That's why it's not valid.

[GrooveMachine]

I think I get it now Ghost, but just to make sure, version 6 is called beta 6 instead.  Check out  the latest version here:

http://www.divshare.com/download/1523630-253

Thanks!

-GrooveMachine

[GrooveMachine]

Hey, version 6 is up and running, with an absolutely MAJOR fix.  Pick it up here:

http://www.divshare.com/download/1500918-0d6

Get it while it's hot!

-GrooveMachine

[GrooveMachine]

Hey, beta 7 is available here:

http://www.divshare.com/download/1523630-253

It's a much bigger file (5.3 megs, I think), because I made it so you don't have to download other thing with this app, it just comes with them zipped.  Give it a try if you can.  I'm almost positive that it's stable.

Oh, I still need some ideas for what to add.  Let me know what you want out of MacTremServ and I'll do my best to include it in the next release!

Thanks!

whenever I put "install MacTremServ" into Terminal and Wap the Enter button, it always comes up with Permissio Denied.

Ive tried doing it on root as well, still na luck.
Anything?

[benmachine]

SNDM: where did you get the idea to try typing install?
Best thing to do is open a new terminal window, drag and drop the script on to it (the path should appear) then press return

Use the tab key. It will always finish the command or filename correctly. Press it twice to get a list of possible completions. The 'I' in 'Install MacTremServ.sh' is uppercase and there must be a backslash in front of the space.

Oh, and even though space is a legal filename character, it's better not to use it in filenames. :roll:

And are you really sure the script has execute permission set?

That is exactly what I do!
I drag and drop install MacTremServ.sh into terminal and press enter. Maybe I shouldve clarified.

Sorry, I didn't realise that was the actual name of the script :P
So long as you are dragging and dropping the path should be correct. Try this command:

Code Select Expand

chmod u+x /path/to/script
replacing /path/to/script of course.
chmod: change file mode
u: user
+x: add execute permission

[Death On Ice]

Can't you just..."Super-User-Do" (sudo) it? Or "Switch-User to Root"? (su -)

That way it runs as an admin..

I haven't actually tried it, I don't wanna mess up my server, but still.

Even root can't run files which aren't executable. He can make any file executable though.

[GrooveMachine]

Just look at the Readme Ninja!  All of your troubleshooting problems are there!
