Bug 477658 – games-action/teeworlds[dedicated]: server init script won't run

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description rypervenche 2013-07-21 17:22:32 UTC]

Hi all,

I am unable to run a teeworlds server using the init script. I believe that this is due to a map not being loaded when the script starts. In the normal Teeworlds package, it is run from the extracted tarball. It expects to find the map in ./data/maps/ from the respective current working directory. Because the maps are put into /usr/share/games/teeworlds/data/maps/ I think that this may be the issue. Unfortunately, the logs don't say anything about this, but when I manually run the binary that's what it points to.

Please let me know if you need any more information about my system or how I have everything set up. Also, my configuration file works just fine when used with an extracted tarball of the game and running it that way. Thanks!

USE="dedicated (multilib) -debug" ABI_X86="64"

[Comment 1 Elijah "Armageddon" El Lazkani (amd64 AT) 2013-07-21 17:47:49 UTC]

Same here, I concur.

[Comment 2 rat 2013-07-21 21:24:27 UTC]

I also have this issue.

[Comment 3 rypervenche 2013-09-06 05:45:01 UTC]

This issue is still present in version 0.6.2, still making it impossible to run the teeworlds server.

[Comment 4 Julian Ospald 2013-09-06 12:42:59 UTC]

suggested fix?

[Comment 5 rypervenche 2013-09-08 04:02:35 UTC]

Created attachment 358232 [details]
Necessary configuration "storage.cfg"

Must be placed at /usr/share/games/teeworlds/storage.cfg and should probably have the games group.

New init script

[Comment 7 rypervenche 2013-09-08 04:06:52 UTC]

(In reply to Julian Ospald (hasufell) from comment #4)
> suggested fix?

I have updated the init script and added a storage.cfg file that is necessary for the appropriate variables to be read. The storage.cfg file must be placed in /usr/share/games/teeworlds/ and should probably have at least games as the group ID.

This looks to have fixed the issue with starting and stopping the teeworlds server, however I did notice that the /etc/init.d/teeworlds reload doesn't seem to work for me. I'm not sure if that's a problem on my own end or if it wasn't correctly written. I don't know enough about creating init scripts to be able to tell on that one.

Thanks!

[Comment 8 Julian Ospald 2013-09-08 11:15:18 UTC]

The only reason for this bug is that the "mapres" folder is not installed for USE="dedicated" and hence the checks in storage.cpp will think there is no $DATADIR.

Is there a reason we don't install mapres?

[Comment 9 Julian Ospald 2013-09-08 11:59:54 UTC]

mapres is not needed, I will patch storage.cpp
