Dedicated Servers and Mods

[WD_Rage]

I want to run an alpha version of the mod I am creating on our dedicated server. It's a remote server, so I have to telnet into it. It's also a linux server running 1.03a.

 

So, I uploaded my mod folder which is called jk2pp so that it is a sibling of base. I then do this:

 

./jk2ded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game jk2pp +exec jk2pp.cfg

 

In the telnet window, this runs and the server is supposedly up. My first problem is I cannot type "exit" to exit telnet. If I close the telnet window without exiting, the server crashes. My second problem is I cannot see the server. I set a favorites to the server's IP, but that doesn't help.

 

Any ideas?

Start the application inside of screen. Then you can detach from it and exit while the server continues to run. Later, you can log back in and reattach as needed. The relevant commands are:

 

To start screen: screen

To detach: hold down cntl and hit a then d

To reattach: screen -r

 

If you have more than one screen running you'll need to specify which pid you want to reattach to after the -r. To quit a screen, just type exit at the prompt when attached.
