Running "Blockland.exe -dedicated" in tmux on remote Linux server?

[blueblur121]

Is there a list anywhere of all of them?
The only one I know is -dedicated.

I know there is -nosteam, but not any others

Do -help to see (most) of the supported options

I thought that was the torque default help message.

EDIT: That doesn't even work anyway. I just cd'd into ~\Documents\Blockland and ran "Blockland.exe -help" and it gave me the "Please run the game via BlocklandLauncher.exe" message.

EDIT 2: I also tried it on BlocklandLauncher.exe. It just ran normally.

Thanks. I'll keep those in a text file.

EDIT: Is there a way to run this without the launcher? I remember being able to do that. I need the dedicated server to run in the same CMD window where blockland.exe was executed.

I just wrote that list just now. For an always up to date list, open Blockland.exe as ASCII and search for "function parseArgs" to see all the options.

I ran into a problem. Running the command that I ran in the left CMD window opened a new CMD window for the server. Is there a way to get the server to run in the CMD window it was launched from? (the one on the left)

None that I know of on Windows. I'm relatively sure that most backends for `wineconsole` will use the same terminal session, however.
If you on Windows however are running Blockland.exe from Batch or something and want to wait for Blockland to close before continuing, use start /WAIT Blockland.exe ...

Can't you read the stdout of the program and launch with -noconsole?

Yeah you'd have to write an external program, but it should still work.

I was going with the assumption that he was working with the Command Prompt directly ("Running the command that I ran in the left CMD window ...") and not actually implementing a program to do any certain tasks, so I didn't consider doing that an option.

To clarify, I'm trying to run a bat file that launches a blockland server within tmux on a remote server. If i can just get it to not try to open an X window, it will work.

Here's the bat.

Code: [Select]

@echo off

start %~dp0Blockland.exe ptlaaxobimwroe -dedicated -noconsole
-noconsole did not work.

Running wine blserver.bat tries to run it in a new window.

Does it still open an X window with this command?

xvfb-run -a wineconsole --backend=curses Blockland.exe ...

Requires the wine and xvfb packages (and maybe lib32ncurses5 on 64-bit systems, not sure).

I don't want it to open a new window. I don't have an X server running.

So then try what I just posted above.
