    [Question & Suggestion] Serverside Scripts

    in Mods

    Posted

    I want to give some messages to the player like:

    "Restart in x seconds, Minutes, Hours"

     

    That isn't possible with a external script. I would do it external, wjich is pretty easy, but then i don't have the messages.

    I mean, such a small script, wouldn't do much to server performance.

     

     

    Some other solution would be, you have set restarting times, like 3am, 6am, 12am, 2pm, 4pm....

    But i want to make it lua side, just because i always did that on my modification's in modable games.

     

     

    [Question & Suggestion] Serverside Scripts

    in Mods

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    i would like to know why 'deferredCallback' does not work on serverside stuff ( "server.lua" ).

    I'd like to add my autorestart script, wich initializes, but 'deferredCallback' returns always '0'.

    The Script just works fine, when i attach it to a Player() or Entity().

    I already thought about a Object in the world, wich i can attach script to, that makes some serverside calculations. But thats not a smart solution.

    Does anyone know how to do it on the right way?

     

    I came up with some suggestion's for the Scripting-API:

     

    [serverside - Server functions]

Galaxy():getSectos()		--returns table with all sectors [posX,posY,Seed]
Galaxy():getSector( seed or pos )		-- returns a specified Sector, to attach scripts to it.
Server():think()		-- executes every x seconds ( depends on server tickrate )
Server():getUserGroup( player )   -- returns the name of the player's user group ( Moderator, Administrator... )
Server():userGroupInfo( name )  -- returns table of privileges of the user group ( commands and stuff )
Server():getPlayerPing( player )  -- returns the ping of the given player

[Player functions]
Player():ping()   - get the players ping



[Entity functions]

Entity():setPos( x, y, z )
Entity():getPos()	-- Returns Vector or table with coordinates
Entity():moveToSector( sector info (coordinates) )	-- Moves the entity in a different sector, that already exists
Enity():setAngles( Angle vector )
Entity():getAngles()	-- gets the angles of the entity

     

     

    If im wrong with something, please tell me.

    Thanks

     

    Problems with the Dedicated Server

    in Multiplayer

    Posted

    Hey JoJoxX,

     

    try to open this port range in your firewall:

    27000-27003 TCP/UDP

     

    Then start your server with following script ( server.bat ):

    bin\AvorionServer.exe --galaxy-name MyGalaxy --server-name MyServer --admin you --port 27000 --max-players 10 --public 1 --use-steam-networking 1
pause

     

    If this don't work, feel free to contact me.

    Evil Suggestion: Ship Building Only at a Ship Yard.

    in Suggestions & Idea Voting

    Posted

    Another idea is, that you can request a portable shipyard from a fraction. It takes some time until in warps right next to you ( 1 minute ).

    You can now edit your Ship without finding a repair -/ shiptyard.

     

    You cant request a portable ship, when you're in a fight or recently were in one.

    This would bring us a little more reality to the game.

    But you can still go find a stationary yard -/ repair dock, wich is still less expensive than the portable ones.

    ( partable station = the current edit system price's )

     

    Another thing:

    If you have a clan-base you can recruit portable repair station's or yards, or even build your own repair station's in your base.

     

     

    The Suggested feature:

    I mean, lets assume you're in a fight and cant back to a repair-dock to repair yourself. How would you repair yourself then?

    The Block's wont just go back in place after some time, that would be unrealstic and i wouldn't like it. ( like in Robocraft )

     

     

    So what do you think about my suggestion?

    [Scripting] Suggestion & Question's

    in Mods

    Posted

    Yeah, i'd like to mod too. But i cant get my files getting loaded, or i dont know how to call my function in the file.

    its something with "invokeClientFunction( Player( index ), "myFunction, myargs )".

     

    Let's assume i have my file in: data/scripts/player

     

    Script:

    if onServer() then return end

package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/player/?.lua"

--require ("randomext")
--require ("utility")
--require ("stringutility")

function writeText()
displayChatMessage("You just ran ur script! YAY", "Script", 0) 
end

     

    Now i tried running my script with following entry in the chatbox:

    /run invokeClientFunction( Player( 1 ), "writeText" )

     

    returns = nothing

     

     

    Final questions ( i want to start scripting... ):

    How to we run Files -/ Function's

    Can one file be shared. So it be Client & Server at same?

    When we want to use other files function, do we need to "require" it?

     

     

     

    - My suggestions ( if possible ) -

     

    We have Server, Client & a Shared folder.

     

    Each file in this get auto-detected and imported to the game to his group ( Server, Client or Shared ).

     

    Lua scripts should get Autorefreshed. ( much easier to develop then )

     

    We can create global function just by defining them with "local" or nothing for global ( local function blah() ), so we can call it from each file we want without 'package.path = package.path .. ";data/scripts/player/?.lua" '. Or is it already possible???

     

     

    I really dont get into this scripting logic for the game.

    I've already scripted for some games, but this is something new to me.

    [Server] Overloading

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I have a big server with ~ 26 Players and sometimes the server says in console:

     

    Warning can't keep up.

    skipping 6-300 frames

     

    then the server begins to lag and crash after a time.

    Please fix this.

     

    I dont know what causes the problem.

    It seems to occur, when many players travel to further sectors.
