Thanks. Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game? Post by: w1zrd on January 28, 2008, 11:26:22 PM How do I display a message or two every 5 minutes? Running oa server on ubuntu. Do a cronjob with rcon say, nothing more needed.Thanks. Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game? Post by: drarem on January 29, 2008, 09:08:16 AM Yea.. that's what I thought to, this won't display anything for some reason..
cd $HOME/Games/openarena-0.7.0 crontab motd.txt ./ioq3ded.i386 +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +exec test_server.cfg motd.txt: * * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && rcon <passwd> say "Doh!" also tried: * * * * * rcon <passwd> say "Doh!" and */1 * * * * rcon <passwd> say "Doh!" I do a crontab -l and it shows the cron job, and cron is running. Is there something I'm missing? Note: crontab doesn't require a user if running non-root. Update: I also do a .. > /dev/pts/0 and it writes to the terminal in an echo, but rcon say ... doesn't seem to work unless I'm missing out on the syntax somewhere. Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game? Post by: drarem on January 31, 2008, 02:26:18 PM Ok.. how bout this? Somehow execute another .CFG file instead of manual execution which is just this:
say "Welcome to this server.. please visit www.website.com" wait 2500 repeat x8 and I don't have to type 'execute text.cfg' from in the server, but have it part of the script automatically. It works if I run it manually, but to have it run from the server script, it stalls the server for some reason. Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game? Post by: [TASF]Overkill on March 08, 2008, 10:56:09 AM I have this running on my server with a script I wrote, but I'm not yet ready to release it until I have fully security tested it. Look for [TASF]CTF.
Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game? Post by: skankychicken on March 23, 2008, 11:04:40 PM lots of ways to do this
(save file with the free q3ctrl script http://www.google.co.uk/search?&hs=TSz&q=q3ctrl&btnG ) q3ctrl.pl -host 32.5.163.69 -port 30000 -cmd "exec theconfig" -password xxx put the file as an entry in /etc/crontab 1,14,29,45 * * * * root /usr/local/games/stout.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 ================ Heres a php class which you could run in the crontab. Makes it easier if you want to consider having a simple web page to update the output. http://misc.slowchop.com/misc/browser/q3query/trunk/q3query.php ================= hennimation http://chumps.eu/downloads/tools/hennimation.zip and some info here http://www.q3ana.de/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=568&p=7513 =================== You can also pipe commands into the main process thats running. i dont remember how my friend done this but was really simple.. well.. i guess it would be if you were familiar with using that kinda stuff :D Title: Re: how to echo text in intervals throughout the game?
