hello
i need some help running il2sc
i use ubuntu, wine, screen
server is up, running ok
i dont understand how il2sc works
it is very possible that il2sc will not do what i need, i just read a lot of docs about it, not seen it actually work
i need some kind of remote control, something to give server commands (restart, kick, changemap, etc) from a client computer with a different ip


ps:sry for the english

[Nidhöggr]

A better tool for remote controll your il2 server is FBDj (http://www.greatergreen.com/forum/).
I had SC also on linux but then switched to fbdj what is more stable.

[Vegeta]

tnx, i was looking into that forum the moment you posted
tnx again

[CRO_Ante]

You will need remote X window server for running FBDj. VNC or FreeNX will do the job, I recommend FreeNX

i finally configured the server the way i want and i decided to reinstall the server, to get read of the unnecessary data after so much testing
surprise: "Java Runtime Environment NOT found" heat me in the face, no idea how to solve it
i tried to install sdk, jre, everything i can think of, the mesage still appears when i use wine il2server.exe

[StG77_HaDeS]

So did you installed java ? Which Linux distro do you use?

Did you use its package manager? Yum install, apt get , synaptics, etc... On line of course.

[Vegeta]

ubuntu 10.10
i installed using apt-get latest jre and latest sdk

[CRO_Ante]

I don't think you need JRE. Try to run server from terminal:
wineconsole il2server.exe

[Vegeta]

i tried with wine, wineconsole, from ssh, from vnc, i installed jre-6u23-windows-i586.exe using wine, same result
Java Runtime Environment NOT found
any idea how to setup java environment?
do i need to start java server?

When you are at the command prompt on the server, not using wine, and type

java -version

...you should get a response telling you what version is installed. If you get jre not found then the system cant find java and you need to define the classpath for java:

Something is wrong with your IL-2 installation. Server will run fine without JRE because all it needs is already in servers bin folder.

Here is nice tutorial for setting IL-2 server on linux: http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php/topic,2756.msg26140.html#msg26140

before i reinstall the linux server, i archived the il2server and move it on to other location via ftp
409 run on server ok, with no problems, but if i remember correctly, i never run the up201 before reinstall
the original kit was made in winxp and transferred via ftp
i will try to make the il2server again
tnx for help

[Vegeta]

i am in possesion of some guides which are helpful if someone is working on the il2server problems
am i allowed to post a guide "hot to install tightvnc server on ubuntu with user privileges"?
i also have a script for start/stop tightvnc and some workarounds, little tricks that can make your life happy

[StG77_HaDeS]

Sure, please do proceed and if any post needs tuning we can do it

[Vegeta]

i think i know what i did wrong
if it works I'll tell you my mistake 

[Vegeta]

i have trouble figuring out difficulty settings
the default states : difficulty=193791
is there any help about that?

[Gryphon]

All you can do is set the mission up with the settings you want, run it,and see how the DS interprets those settings. That's the number to remember.

Hi Vegeta,

you can easily overwrite these difficulty settings by server.cmd file in a more readable way.

example sever.cmd:

;Syntax:  command ARG Value

server NAME dedicated IL2-Server DESCRIPTION Training PWD Password    ; if you don't want a password just leave this value blank.
difficulty SeparateEStart 1
difficulty ComplexEManagement 1
difficulty EngineOverheat 1
difficulty TorqueGyroEffects 1
difficulty FlutterEffect 1
difficulty WindTurbulence 1
difficulty StallsSpins 1
difficulty Vulnerability 1
difficulty BlackoutsRedouts 1
difficulty RealisticGunnery 1
difficulty LimitedFuel 1
difficulty LimitedAmmo 1
difficulty HeadShake 1
difficulty CockpitAlwaysOn 1
difficulty NoInstantSuccess 1
difficulty Clouds 1
difficulty RealisticLandings 1
difficulty TakeoffLanding 1
difficulty NoPadlock 1
difficulty NoMapIcons 1
difficulty NoMinimapPath 1
difficulty NoSpeedBar 0
difficulty NoOutsideViews 0
difficulty NoIcons 1
maxping 200 DELAY 1 WARNINGS 15
mp_dotrange FOE COLOR 0 DOT 20 RANGE 0 TYPE 0 ID 0 NAME 0
mp_dotrange FRIENDLY COLOR 20 DOT 0 RANGE 0 TYPE 0 ID 0 NAME 0
f gc.cmd

There are many more commands like timeout and so on.
Just type "help" in server console.

For example:
>help                       shows available commands
>help difficulty         shows available ARGs for command difficulty
>difficulty                 shows current set of values

The server.cmd command file runs on il2server start.
