You broke it! You blew up the world! Now what am I gonna do? I guess I'll have to sit in the corner and talk to myself until FvF comes back...

Well, I emailed Polarite and said "help I'm a noob I broke quake plz fix it."

Other than that, I don't know what's up.
I run the ./startfvf script from the correct folder in Putty and it doesn't produce any errors... but no server.

did you try the "ps" command at the shell command line, to list processes?

Actually, forget ps. Try "top"

"q" quits "top"

if you see glquake-glx or proquake or glpro in the list, you can try, for instance, kill [pid of quake]

Hm, I see several servers running.... and no way to tell which is which. I don't wanna just go killing off his severs, heh.

How would I gather info about a process to see like, its command line or something?

The "command" field is truncated.



Hm, ok, I kind of found a way to check each one manually...

ps -p [PID] -o args

The use of the screen command confuses and complicates things.

You might try something like ps -u Gunter (or whatever your user name is) to see what you're running.

If the server is running maybe you can just type "quit" at the putty ssh prompt.

From what I can tell the fvf server is no running. I don't see it anywhere among the running servers....

Soo, I don't know why ./startfvf doesn't restart it

Oh, we don't actually have port forwarding for fvfonline.com -- that's only for the web site. I'm not sure if port forwarding can be set up via Cpanel... hm.

fvf.servequake.com is the server address. It's just down at the moment and probably only Polarite will be able to fix it later.

fw = firewall. Usually most common mistake is opening up port 26000 for UDP to the world. If he has other Q servers on that IP, most likely hes already using port 26000 for one of them. If you have access tot he servers command prompt you can check the port by typing port. If hes got no fw running then all the ports would be possible to assign to your server so you can type: port 26255 , then change to a new map with the map command and the new port will be assigned. Otherwise could well be you need to wait for Pol to fix it...

Got it!

teknoskillz put me on the right path via PM (he uses linux quake servers).

It was file permission. I needed to open the permissions of everything I uploaded, probably mostly the startfvf script after I edited it, to make it executable.

Now let's go see if that water is transparent....


EDIT: Or maybe not... Turns out Polarite was fixing it at the same time I thought I was fixing it, heh. The PAK files needed to be in lower case... because linux is picky like that.

Or maybe it was a combination of the things....

In any case, it's up now.
