#1: oss masterserver

by hungerburg on 06/08/2004 13:53 through 80.109.132.21 in General Thread


the oss cube masterserver, announced a week ago in another thread, now is considered production quality. that its an easy thing to do, has often been said here - now it has become even easier for mod authors to provide one :)

the only requirement is a webserver that can execute perl scripts from a cgi-bin directory, ie. almost all there are. other features are realtime status display of a servers players, map names etc, and a simple admin interface. it will not work however if the cube server encrypts its communications.

thanks to aard and all the people on this forum and on the servers, that make cube fun to play.

Probably. I don't recall toying with the protocol for talking with the masterserver.

I also released the last of my work to Quad on my site. I'm not positive what state I left it in, but it should be fine.

most likely, the protocol value is above 128 - cube then sends two chars, and the perl unpack template does not handle that.

I added a 0 to the protocol number and started working from there.

I rebuilt the quad server with protocol set to 22 and the masterserver displays all right. with -22 the protcol is messed, the other items ok. PROTO set to 129 fails due to cubes network traffic compression algorhythm. this is clearly a shortcoming of the masterserver.

staffy, if you want to host a quad masterserver, I'd advise to change the protocol setting; you would have to recompile anyways to set the masterservers location in the binaries.

gonzo: Check the readme, you can set it with a command line option.

I'm actually wondering how you can set up one...

" -mM sets the master server to use for either server (registering) and client (updating) to M. M is the base url of the master server and has to end in a / and without a http:// prefix, the default is wouter.fov120.com/cube/masterserver/. If you want your server to be private and not report to the masterserver, use -mlocalhost."

Does "-mwww.myzel.net/cgi-bin/cube/masterserver/"
works?

I do ALL out of the instructions, but i get a error:
Software error:

And no login window, status/reset buttons...
I have it installed on a CGI/Perl enabled webspace, set all chmods right, but no way...

Software error:
can't open srv.dat: No such file or directory at masterserver.cgi line 212

in the same directory, where you put the perl script, also create two files "srv.dat" and "log.txt" and make them writable by the webserver (chmod 666 but only if it doesnt work without that)

save below text to "test.pl" in yr. cgi dir:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV)) {
print "$key = $ENV{$key}\n";
}

###### end of script

then point yr. browser at "http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl/asdf" and look at the output, esp. where it says "PATH_INFO" - it should be above url with the script name removed ie. "/asdf"! if IIS doesnt remove the leading path, you have to do that yourself in the script (eg. subtract SCRIPT_NAME) or install apache2 on your box, whatever is easier:)
