Dedicated Server on Ubuntu

[Liquid Snake]

I have Linux Ubuntu 7.10 and Wine and I want to know how to make it run a dedicated server.  Thanks.

Note to self: Don't look for help in the help section.

It'll get moved to help.

Hopefully it gets answered before then, because nobody looks in the help section.

It should be simple you have Wine.

Wine supports .bat's and .exe's, right?

[Liquid Snake]

Apparently not .bat's.  Only exe's.

If you can run commands like Windows, then try Target:

Code: [Select]

"D:\Program Files\Blockland\Blockland.exe" -dedicated -mission base/data/missions/bedroom.misThats all I can think of atm.

[Liquid Snake]

That would open it out of Wine.  If you make it so you would think it would open with Wine, it just doesn't..

[JayGuerette]

Easy. I'll presume you have wine installed.

Do a clean install on a Windows box, and copy the entire Blockland directory to your Ubuntu box.  Copy the directory to:

/home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

For some reason Blockland needs to be run from it's own directory. I use this shell script:

#! /bin/bash
cd /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Blockland
exec wine blockland.exe -dedicatedLAN -mission base/data/missions/slate.mis &> /dev/null &

Works like a champ for me.

Ah, awesome, I got it working.  Thanks for the help, everyone.

I have recently transferred my entire Blockland folder to a computer running Linux Ubuntu and all of my Add On's are in the folder and enabled, but only a few show up, and even some starter vehicles and items are missing from the in game list.  Help, please.

[dUMBELLS]

Haha, moved.

[Liquid Snake]

stuff, now I'll never get an answer.  :\

UPDATE:  I installed a fresh copy of Blockland, because all of the stock Add-Ons work.  I then tried to add Add-Ons one by one and when I added one vehicle, it got rid of all the other vehicles.  I also added IGSO and FFC and they didn't work.

It is also is interesting to note that all things dealing with files are case sensitive, as in, the folder is called "Add-Ons" and someone packaged a mod and named it "Add-ons", well, it makes another folder beside Add-Ons called Add-ons.  I tried changing the case of all the folders and the main one, and it still didn't work.

Halp.
