Title: [DOH!] Copying game folders while game is running
Post by: fufinha on June 25, 2008, 06:12:14 AM
bah...

If you copy a game to a new folder while having the server config (not q3config) open for live editing, then there's a very good chance you will end up with a corrupt config. :(

All i wanted to do was to try and make a back up and create a new server at the same time.

Yesterday I cleaned out all my old crap which contained duplicate things and I was quite pleased with myself having everything neat n tidy. That makes today worse :D


Live n learn

hold on.. my game is still running, I have only made a couple of change

I know the hostname has 1v1 in it so I tried this..


grep 1v1 * | grep -v log

I find this..

q3config_server.cfg:seta sv_hostname "rail tourney 0.7.1"

I never noticed this file appearing until 0.7.6 but

Quote
[root@84 NoGhost]# ls -lh q3config_server.cfg
-rw-r-----  1 fun stuff 3.7K Jun 25 13:49 q3config_server.cfg

What is this file? I may still be able to salvage some cfg after all

edit: ffs its the live cfg file eh? But when I do exec it writes to q3config.cfg... this may explain the issue with my cron.. thats been pissing me off for a while now

[root@84 NoGhost]# games pid

23567 . oa_ded.i386

Is this exe file thing 0.7.6?
