Dedicated server welcome & commands

[Whos]

Hi. I want to improve the welcome and typing commands on my server. I want to do, so that the server writes the information as PM and shows to all where is client..Can someone write me some code autopilot.tcl which is responsible for that?

I marked interesting parts of the greeting from n-ice.org server.


Anyone knows how to do this and could you help me?
Thank,

Your location can often be determined from your IP-number. It is not fool-prof but it works in many cases. Yes, you are looking for a program/script called Autopilot or ap+. These programs run "around" your dedicated server and talks with the dedicated server console to read the messages from the server when someone joins and send messages to that person.

Lol, read my posts more carefully. I've installed the autopilot and I can give simple commands type !commands, but I want so as server to say this as a personal message.

I've checked up this for ap+, if you use plain autopilot it might be implemented differently.

Customize autopilot/scripts/callback/on_game_join.example.tcl and remove ".example" in the file name. You will have to find out yoursef how to do the correct whois lookups and implement that in the tcl language. (I don't know tcl myself)

Or why not ask the server owner of that server if you can get his code modifications to the greeting script?

[Whos]

OK, I have the "on_game_join.tcl", but does not working.

How is it not workning? Exact error messages are much more useful than "it is not working".

If you post your tcl file then maybe you can get better help.

that's all the documentation there is, + the example files, + tcl manuals

good luck

Look at code:

Code: Select all

Autopilot engaged
Starting new game: 'xxx'
Landscape: temperate
Dimensions: 256x256
Starting year: 1830
players
server_info
clients
echo doneclientcount
Current/maximum clients:     0/255
Current/maximum companies:   0/15
Current/maximum spectators:  0/20
Client #1  name: 'xxx'  company: 255  IP: 0.0.0.0
doneclientcount
pause
Game paused.
*** whos has joined the game
*** Game paused (connecting client)
*** Game unpaused (client connected)
[All] whos: !help
say_client 0 "Avaible commands:"
say_client 0 "!help     -- this help"
say_client 0 "!version  -- version of the server bot"
say_client 0 "!admin    -- request an admin to join the game"
say_client 0 "---"
dbg: [net] [rcon] client-id 3 executed: 'clients'
dbg: [net] [rcon] client-id 3 executed: 'clients'
clients
clients
Client #1  name: 'xxx'  company: 255  IP: 0.0.0.0
Client #3  name: 'whos'  company: 255  IP:  ;)

There's no MOTD or "error message" after i joined to the server. There's nothing. . And the 'simple commands' not working always, I don't know why autopilot not always check my client_id, sometimes it is "0" (above code), sometimes wrong ID (!). .



As you can see, I using the standard tcl code from SVN source (from site above reported by dihedral).





Thanks for help,
sorry for the long-awaited answer. .

[dihedral]

interesting - thanks for those details!
i'm not sure i'll spot the issue right away, but i'll look into it.

note though, that a message in private will not work if you have not been greeted in private either

also - if you are on a linux system (as i can see ) perhaps you might like to have a look at avignon
this is a project aimed at redesigning autopilot from scratch.

enjoy.

I've installed the Avignon, but I do not know how to configure it.
I seen this:

Code: Select all

[2010-02-13 05:14:04] [console] [notice] Avignon Console engaged
[2010-02-13 05:14:04] [irc] [error] irc module not enabled, refusing to connect
[2010-02-13 05:14:04] [plugin] [notice] [Alias] loaded version 0.1
[2010-02-13 05:14:04] [plugin] [notice] [DemoPlugin] loaded version 0.1

And I don't know what's next I must to do.

[dihedral]

hehehe

config is in the config folder, copy default.ini to user.ini, and edit user.ini

on the avignon console you can enter 'load OpenTTD'... and have a look at the readme.txt in extensions/apps/OpenTTD

Thanks. But I've next problem. What's now? .... It can't find file.

Code: Select all

19:11:54^xxx@Avignon.console$ load OpenTTD

[2010-02-13 19:12:29] [plugin]  [notice]    [OpenTTD] loaded version 0.1
loaded OpenTTD v0.1

19:12:29^xxxAvignon.console$ openttd start

OpenTTD executable not found at './openttd/openttd' in '/home/xxx/openttd2'

[Alberth]

No idea what you are doing, but judging from the icons, 'openttd' is a file, thus ./openttd/openttd is not going to work.

Try changing that to './openttd'

[Whos]

Alberth, I can't change name of the main file. .
lol, on my server all of scripts (autopilot, avignon...) working incorrectly. .

[planetmaker]

I don't quite follow where you put what.

On our public server (ap+) the dir structure works this way:

./publicserver (that's where we compile openttd in via make bundle, then "cp -Rf bundle/* autopilot")
./publicserver/autopilot

Also in autopilot.tcl you find the line

Code: Select all

if {[set openttd [::ap::config::get autopilot command]] == {} } {
        set openttd {./openttd}
}

Which you obviously could adjust to your needs. Default is to look for the openttd binary in the same dir as autopilot.tcl is.

[dihedral]

sorry Whos, i do not really like private messages as a reply to a topic!
also: no! i will not configure your avignon copy or ap+ copy via remote desktop for you!!

my personal guess is that the part of the code is looking for openttd in a seperate folder named openttd, which holds the standard openttd folder structure, hence trying to start openttd/openttd
just might be worth a try, don't you think?

further more, i want to point out that 1. avignon is still alpha (however, i have meat enough people who have managed a fairly straight forward setup)

but what i can read out of your thread, is that there seems to be a higher need for some usable docs

Sorry, but I don't understand you. Can you explain that simplier?

[dihedral]

i am sorry - i have no clue where you fail to understanding that avignon seems to be looking for another folder named openttd in which you have the openttd binary!

[Whos]

O.K., it works. Really thanks for assistance, dihedral. .

Would you be so nice and help me reach my goal (first post)? Sorry, but i don't know where I can set a callback.
I hope that I don't abuse your patience?
