    Code:
    german@Germyliok-PC ~/commandstar $ ./runServer.sh
    npm WARN package.json commandstar@0.1.2 No repository field.
    npm WARN package.json node-hipchat@0.2.0 'repositories' (plural) Not supported.
    npm WARN package.json Please pick one as the 'repository' field

    I'm trying to get CommandStar to run as a service/upstart but for some reason I'm drawing a blank.

    I have starbound running as a service and tried to add commandstar to the same service... no luck, so I switched to upstart.

    Here's what I have so far in /etc/init/commandstar.conf :

    Code:
    description "CommandStar Ellitopia Wrapper"
    author "ellbristow"
    
    start on starting starbound
    stop on starting shutdown
    
    console none
    
    script
            cd ~/commandstar
            ./runServer.sh
    end script
    
    respawn
    
    If I run runServer manually it runs fine, but forces me to keep the console open. Running "sudo start commandstar" does seem to launch the upstart, but immediately stops it again (status shows it as stop/waiting)

    What am I doing wrong? Any help welcome!

    Support for CommandStar has been added on Starbound-Servers.net (as you can see in DarkOS signature :) )

    @Seriallos thank you for working on this status page.

    I am running ubuntu 12.04.3 server install.

    I am running as root user on my server at the house, since I don't need any real security.

    I installed as per your instructions but had dependency issues along the way, so I went ahead and installed everything that was missing to try and get started.
    Now I'm stuck with this error.
    Code:
    root@SERVER:~/commandstar# ./runServer.sh
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'binPath' of undefined
      at Object.<anonymous> (/root/commandstar/server.coffee:29:28, <js>:43:30)
      at Object.<anonymous> (/root/commandstar/server.coffee:1:1, <js>:310:4)
      at Module._compile (module.js:441:26)
    
    Here is my config file called SERVER.yaml

    Code:
    serverName: "iplaystarbound.com 24/7 Vanilla"
    
    # Port for web server
    # If you use port 80, you'll need to run server.coffee using sudo.
    # This isn't super secure right now so be warned.
    
    listenPort: 8080

    # Default hipchat configs
    # To enable, you'll need to set the hipchat.token configuration to your API key
    # This is only for relaying in-game chat to a HipChat room.  The web chat
    # works without this.
    # This REQUIRES a version 1 token
    # For more info, check out their website: https://www.hipchat.com/
    
    I commented out all the Hipchat lines since I won't be using that, but I did try without commenting out first.
    I also tried without double quotes around my paths. Still won't work. Not really sure what the issue is.

    I know all the blah blah about running as root, I'm not concerned, unless of course running as root is the issue.
    However I installed the server via these instructions. -> DeMossiah
    Thank you for your time.

    Has anyone else tried this with any success wondering if it's worth doing..

    I am not sure if this was asked. But is there going to be a way we can chat with the people in the game with hipchat. And also maybe using irc as an alternative to hipchat.

    Can you PM or post some more details of the problems you were running into? Output from the runServer.bat command would be helpful as well as what version of Windows you are running.
     
  12. Seriallos

    Seriallos Space Penguin Leader

    If you're on windows, you need to double click runServer.bat, not runServer.sh. If that doesn't solve your issue, post back and I'll try to help.

    I'm still being lazy and just run it in a screen session right now... But I'll look at writing some docs on building upstart/init.d scripts at some point.

    If anyone else has already written, please post it here or on the GitHub page. At some point I'll build out the wiki on the GitHub site with info like this.

    Make sure the name of your YAML file is the same as the hostname of the machine you're running on.

    For example, this is from my demo server:

    Code:
    seriallos@betastar: /opt/commandstar master
    $ hostname
    betastar
    
    seriallos@betastar: /opt/commandstar master
    $ ls -1 config
    betastar.yaml
    default.yaml
    runtime.json
    
    I'll try to write up some better documentation of the config system to help with this.

    I'll look to see if there's a simple way to relay chat to IRC. I suspect there are good libraries already out there that I can use.

    For getting chat into the game, there are other folks on this forum who are working on reverse engineering that system. If they are either to successfully get that working and/or Chucklefish adds an API to do it, it will definitely be something I look into implementing.

    Love this! I am using it over at www.world8-4.ca as well

    One small request - can you make it ignore /w so it's not showing private chat? kind of defeats the purpose of private chat.

    The reason that seemed to work for me is because of the slow disk IO on VPS I have. I placed the assets in there and it cleared up the slow asset warnings I was getting in logs, and seems to allow the server to read from the asset files fast enough to process the info without lagging the server too bad. If you don't include the music or sfx folders its something like 100mb ish so its not much ram used up. Good luck.

    True story: I didn't even realize Starbound had /w until today. I'm planning on patching the code to ignore all slash commands in the next couple of days.
