where I'm at:

I have a server that is working in armagetron advanced.
I want to have rotating maps. I have read both the posts bout the scripts , but I think i might be missing something. Can you help?




folder file (file name = "nyc") notice the eddie text document. I converted from eds maps and locations to mine.
[


config file

the everytime has just the cycle pysics, no maps

var folder- everytime is empty


log folder empty also


"eddie" code

so what's happening? Nothing is getting written to everytime.cfg?

Please describe in detail how you are going about running the server and starting the script.

sorry

K, here i go

Terminal==>New Shell===>copy eddie text into it==> Hit enter

Terminal==>New Shell==>cd into "nyc", create the server

Armagetron===>Test, happens to be the regular fortress map, like in fortress cafe===>Close AA

Look at log.txt and everytime.cfg==>nothing

well, you need to feed the output of the aa console log into eddie. sh.
start eddie.sh something like:

This is assuming you started tron using a script similar to this:


you could feed it directly using something like


But then you'd have to restart the server every time you modified the script. Not really necessary till you're done tinkering.

when i start tron using the 2nd code there

What os are you using?

Writing a shell in a file instead of writing it in a terminal can help. otherwise you may need to use export for you var statement like :
export tron="/home/desktop/nyc/bin/armagetronad-dedicated"

which shell are you using ? bash ?

@ed mac os 10,

All along I have just been using Terminal. comes w/ mac/ It works for compiling the server from source and running it.

It has "New Shell" and "New Command" and "Connect to server" options

Sorry I'm not familiar with macos. Never touched macos scripting.
Try replacing #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash?
Really, I'm clutching at straws here.

ill try it, thanks for the effort.

Are you trying to copy and paste the contents of the script into your terminal? That won't work, you need to flag it as executable (chmod +x /path/to/eddie.sh), then run it with a command like the one ed suggested.

So then ==> New Command===>


if the above is correct, it doesn't work, causing me to suspect it isn't right. when that is done i recieve

Levi,
You just can't run the #!/bin/bash command directly in the terminal. This is a special command that must be the first line of a text file to tell the system which program must run the file content (here bash but it depend of your system, but you must check if bash is install on your system first).

So you must write all these commands ed gave you in a text file and turn it executable with chmod, something like this assuming your filename is eddie.sh as you wrote
chmod +x eddie.sh you

then you can execute it, probably as on any unix system, using ./eddie.sh (unless you add the . to your PATH environnement variable.

ok ill try it.
