Server Discussion StarryPy - A plugin driven server wrapper written in Python.

Where commandline, could you please give clear instruction, and I can't understand what to do with this bunch of files, I got used to the .bat
I downloaded and installed Python27 and pip, downloaded the files from github, what do I do now?
Or can't I because I have windows 8 ?

 

Linux install all working great. StarryPY + CommandStar running no problem atm.

 

This is fantastic! We'll be trying it out this evening

I'll report back to this thread with any feedback/issues.

 

I'm currently getting an error of:

Code:

2014-01-29 14:37:51,696 - starrypy - INFO - Started server.

2014-01-29 14:39:34,520 - starrypy - ERROR - Couldn't disconnect protocol.

Which then gives me the error: "Join Failed! Unknown Server Version" after attempting to log in


EDIT:
I can connect to the server without the wrapper
A friend can also connect to vanilla server but gets the same issue/error with the wrapper

 

This sounds amazing. I can't wait to try it.

 

At the risk of sounding like an idiot I don't get how to install this. It sounds like you need to run a python command; couldn't you include an install script with the download?

 

Okay, I tried to create tiny plugin for StarryPy. I'm newbie in Python, sorry for bad code (I can fix it in future).
Server status plugin available here. You can send query on specified port (specified in server_status.py) and plugin return status (online/offline) and number of players.
Also include small php script for embed this in your website.

Now plugin always return "online: true" because I don't know how to detect server runned. Server crashing sometimes, but StarryPy still working. Is it possible to add crash detecting and autorestar?

 

Are you sure you have set up the correct port for the game server in your config?

 

Thats a bit tricky indeed. You could make the reactor connectTCP() to the server (like we do in server.py) with a new minimalistic factory and check if you get an protocol_version packet from it. Feel free to come over to ##starbound-dev in freenode IRC for further questions and discussions!

 

Well.... no?! haha

If I set the port to be the same on game and wrapper I get the same issue except I get about 30 of the "Created...." line and only get the disconnect on a ctrl+c
If I have the ports separate ( "gamePort" : 21025, and "server_port": 21024,) then I get the error above

I may have missed something basic here but I'm not sure what!

 

What port is set in starbound.config?

 

As above, game port being the starbound.config one, server_port is from the wrapper

 

Thanks, I understand.
Sorry, but my english is not good for chatting.

 

Okay, the wording in our config.json is a bit misleading. I already have a change to that in our current development branch.
Anyway, you have to put the port on which the gameserver listens in the StarryPy config. Starrypy itself will listen on 21025, so you cant use that one for the gamserver, use 21024 instead.

 

Need some help with the /move_ship command. I want to move my own ship to..

-69232049, 8766403Beta Chara 034 III

I don't quite get how the command needs to be filled.

/move_ship beta -69232049 8766403 z? 3 sateliite?

 

The plugin is working great for me. One thing I`d like to see is the ability to edit each usergroups abilities. Also when I protect a planet, seems like other players lose the ability to edit their ship and interact with it.

 

You can do this simply by editing the py files. For example:

Code:

    @permissions(UserLevels.ADMIN)
    def whois(self, data):

You can change to UserLevels.MODERATOR

 

Ah I see - so set both to 21024? Same problem

 

I tried installing Twisted manually as it wasnt working, and now I am getting tons of errors when starting the server:

Heeelp?

 

Hey guys, I thought I'd outline the installation instructions for windows a bit more thoroughly since those were lacking.

Here's a step by step instruction guide. I ran in an XP VM, but it should work the same in any version of windows XP or greater.

Step 1
Download python. We'll be using ActiveState python for ease of use. This way you don't have to monkey around with your paths. Just download it from here. Make sure you grab the 2.7 version and not the python 3 version; the server will not run on Python 3.

Install in, just use the default options.

Step 2
Download StarryPy from github. I personally recommend using git, but a zip file will suffice. Click the Download zip file on the right side of the page. Here's the repo link if you don't want to do searching for it.

Move the StarryPy-master folder somewhere convenient. You can rename it to whatever you like.

Step 3
For this step, you'll need to get inside the StarryPy folder in the command prompt. For Vista or greater, which hopefully you are all running, you can simply open up the folder, make sure you don't have any files selected, and then hold down shift and right click in the empty space of the folder. There will be an option to 'Open Command Window Here' or something along those lines.

If you can't find that window, run the command 'cmd'. Then, use 'cd directory_name' to get to the right place. If you go too high, use 'cd..' to go down a level.

Once you're in the StarryPy folder, run 'pypm install -r requirements.txt' to install all of the dependencies. It will give you an error about enum34; don't worry about it, we'll take care of that next.

After all the components are done installing, run 'pypm install pip'. Wait for that to finish installing, and then run 'pip install enum34'.

Finally, once that's done, we can move onto configuration.

Step 4
In the StarryPy folder you'll find a config.json.example. I wouldn't open it with notepad, because it uses unix style line endings. Notepad++ or Sublime Text would be ideal, but wordpad will do in a pinch. Open it up and set your server hostname and port.

The server port is the port you'd be running Starbound on. I recommend 21024 for simplicity's sake. Generally the default options will be fine. Save the file as config.json in the same directory. Do not put the server port as 21025.

Finally, we need to edit the starbound configuration file to run on the port you set in that config.json. Open up your starbound folder and find starbound.config. Change the gameport in there to the same port that you set in config.json. Here's an example setup of config.json and starbound.config so you understand how it's done.

config.json

Code:

{
    "server_hostname": "localhost",
    "debug_file": "debug.log",
    "core_plugin_path": "./core_plugins",
    "owner_uuid": "",
    "player_db": "config/player.db",
    "server_port": 21024,
    "plugin_path": "./plugins",
    "command_prefix": "/",
    "passthrough" : false,
    "colors": {
        "default": "^#F7EB43;",
        "guest": "^#F7EB43;",
        "registered": "^#A0F743;",
        "moderator": "^#4385F7;",
        "admin": "^#C443F7;",
        "owner": "^#F7434C;"   
    }
}

starbound.config

Code:

{
  "allowAdminCommands" : true,
  "allowAdminCommandsFromAnyone" : true,
  "attemptAuthentication" : false,
  "audioChannelSeparation" : [ -25, 25 ],
  "audioChannels" : 2,
  "authHostname" : "auth.playstarbound.com",
  "authPort" : 21027,
  "bcryptRounds" : 5000,
  "bind" : "*",
  "checkAssetsDigest" : false,
  "claimFile" : "indev.claim",
  "clearPlayerFiles" : false,
  "clearUniverseFiles" : false,
  "controlPort" : 21026,
  "crafting.filterHaveMaterials" : false,
  "defaultWorldCoordinate" : "alpha:-84936662:-62554636:-13754701:6:12",
  "fullscreen" : false,
  "fullscreenResolution" : [ 1920, 1080 ],
  "gamePort" : 21024, // <--- This is the important one.
  "maxFrameskip" : 10,
  "maxPlayers" : 50,
  "maximized" : true,
  "maximizedResolution" : [ 1000, 600 ],
  "musicVol" : 0,
  "passwordHash" : "",
  "pixelRatioIdx" : 3,
  "renderPreSleepRemainder" : 4,
  "renderPriority" : true,
  "renderSleep" : true,
  "rootKey" : "removed",
  "sampleRate" : 44100,
  "serverName" : "A Starbound Server",
  "serverPasswords" : [ "", "duckies", "swordfish" ],
  "sfxVol" : 0,
  "speechBubbles" : true,
  "tileDamageLimit" : 49,
  "title.connectionString" : "",
  "upnpPortForwarding" : true,
  "useDefaultWorldCoordinate" : false,
  "username" : "",
  "vsync" : true,
  "waitForUpdate" : true,
  "windowTitle" : "Starbound - Beta",
  "windowedResolution" : [ 1000, 600 ],
  "zoomLevel" : 2
}

Finally, you'll need the UUID of a character to use as an owner profile. You can get this through the save file, or you can get it through the running server. If you get it from the savefile username, pop it in config.json and go below.

Otherwise, get back to your command window and run 'python server.py'. With any luck you'll see the server bounce into action. Try connecting via your Starbound character. Once the connection is complete, you should see a player UUID with the username. Copy that into the owner slot and restart StarryPy.
