I don't mind helping, what exactly is the problem?

CpKnoppers · Post by **CpKnoppers** » 04 Aug 2005 17:55

If i start the server per Browser (php-shell-command) then the server is online, but if i try to connect it with openttd-client the server says networkerror and in the serverlog is only a message that the server couldnt creat a dumpsave-file.

the same server start in the sh with root-rights run failure-free
thats the problem.

I made a similar web page... but unfortunately, the hard drive of my server broke down a few days ago.
Maybe I could help you a little.

First of all, your web server is running linux or windows ?
I'm running linux (debian)
I run the dedicated server with a command "openttd -D -f -c condif.cfg".
All files must be on the good user... it is to said www-data.

But before saying more, I'll wait to know what is your OS.

its suse linux, think that doesnt matter,

Pixel du Rezo · Post by **Pixel du Rezo** » 04 Aug 2005 19:56

It's important to know if it's windows or linux, since windows doesn't need "rights" on the files.

So, it's linux.
If you want to run openttd dedicated with your php, your "www-data" user needs rights on the files, and on the containing directory, in order to log on the "openttd.log" file.

Do you have this file ?
Does it show some errors ?
Did you try to ask the server with the php class contained in the website part of the SVN ?

(I'm not at home at the moment, I'm on holidays.. so it could take time before I answer... I'll be back on monday)

This sounds very great.
I didn't have time this week to try all those ottd related stuffs... but I'll be back in a few days.. with a similar thing... and with web pages that display lots of informations

Did you succeed in connecting to the ottd dedicated server in order to send it some rcon commands, such as pause, unpause, or newgame ?
I think it could be very interesting, since it could allows the player to stay connect to the server (I think right now you had to restart the dedicated server in order to create a new game, so the player is disconnected)

Hello! Where can I get the script? Are you using openttd.inc.php to communicate with the server? How are you sending rcon commands to it?

CpKnoppers · Post by **CpKnoppers** » 13 Aug 2005 10:14

if anybody can send me the openttd.inc.php to com@cpknoppers.de so i can integrate the script, but i cannot get connection to the svn-server.

Thx for sending

I think you should replace "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" with TTD.
The name of the game is OpenTTD. ( i think the devs are very careful about that)

CpKnoppers · Post by **CpKnoppers** » 28 Aug 2005 00:52

i think youre right, it was only a placeholder for a layout, i havent yet a better idea ^^

CpKnoppers · Post by **CpKnoppers** » 30 Aug 2005 00:56

So here is an upgrade, things which are problematic were changed and i have the idea merged with my own portalsystem, because the whole script was to static.

New features are:
Multiple Versions of OpenTTD can run and managed at the same time,
The Portalsystem finds automaticly the account-infos from each Version.

So from now on it is possible to log each Gameinfos of registrated Player for Statistics, or other things

Here a pic of the actual status:

Sorry folks, i have forgotten some portalconfigurations, so useractivation wasnt possible, now it is configurate and can be uses.
