0.6.3 source for dedicated server

[fsmmls]

Hi,

When i use this command:

Code: Select all

svn checkout svn://svn.openttd.org/trunk openttd

It wil give me a nightly build, right?

But i want 0.6.3 to install on my server so i can use it as dedicated server. How do i get this?


Also, when i use: ./openttd -D
it gives me the error about that it cannot find sample.cat. But do i need this for a dedicated server? And where is the best place to install it to? When i just run ./configure --enable-dedicated, it will put it into a folder called /bin inside the source folders. I want it at a better place, for example /bin/openttd or something.

Thanks..

Thats right.

Use

Code: Select all

svn checkout svn://svn.openttd.org/tags/0.6.3 openttd

Also, when i use: ./openttd -D
it gives me the error about that it cannot find sample.cat. But do i need this for a dedicated server?

IIRC an empty sample.cat file should work, just use

Code: Select all

touch sample.cat

to create the file.

And where is the best place to install it to? When i just run ./configure --enable-dedicated, it will put it into a folder called /bin inside the source folders. I want it at a better place, for example /bin/openttd or something.

Have you tried

Code: Select all

make install

?

You forgot to mention that it will cause desyncs when using (some) NewGRFs. And he'll likely get an error about missing tr*.grf when he solved the sample.cat issue; just installing the correct files is safer and less error prone than trying to cheat the system.

I thought that was fixed, but now I checked and r14527 made an empty sample.cat file work but did not fix the desyncs.

Edit: After some more explanation from Rubidium: an empty sample.cat does work (without desyncs) in the nighties, but not in 0.6.3. So I can only repeat his advise, copy all original files.

No. That will give you the current trunk source, not a build. The best way to get a nightly build is to download the appropriate file from nightly.openttd.org and then un-tar it.
