this would be called with

assuming you named it eddie.sh

Ummm, this should work in perl... I believe the $line = TAILLOG will block until a new line is printed by tail.
Just FYI



-- EDIT --

There's some good perl mysql objects with description on http://search.cpan.org/search?query=dbi&mode=all. Usually perl5 comes shiped with the dbi modules needed to do mysql.

so glad to see you all working toward a solution (bash is what i had in mind also) but as z-man kinda shut me down i didnt pursue it :/

its such a dam head-ache in there atm, i mean, if u all would like to post some ip's of who u [know] are the probs, i'm sure certain members here [ahem] wouldnt have any probs poking into their life.

And what memebers would you be talking about?

Hello, I am new here and discovered armagetron in december, 2005

Many of you complain about newbies, I think you are wrong : when I was a newbie (sure I have no real skill yet), I was happy to see that *not all* people react like that.

Being a newbie is a necessary stage for becoming better... and sure all of you have been

Let's accept newbies, give advices, but dont admit such people who insult someone just because he (thinks he) has skills, this is easy, not fair and destroys the armagetron free spirit.

Hope this will not be held for agressivity, it would be so nice if armag would be just for fun, not for quarell

And sorry for my bad english, I am french...

----------------------------------

Next, I have a problem with config files on Linux Ubuntu 5.10
I would like to do a map rotation using everytime.cfg
in armagetron-advanced 0.2.8.1 (not dedicated)

config files (those I found) are located in /etc/armagetron (sym link to /usr/etc/games/armagetronad)
I did not modify settings.cfg, and setup a "MAP_FILE ..." line in autoexec.cfg, which works fine

But when I tried the same in everytime.cfg (which, if I'm right, should load at every round), it does not work at all (I modify it by hand when armag is running, for test)

So here are my questions :
- can the map rotations work in *not* dedicated ?
- what can be wrong with the file (location ?)
- why autoexec.cfg works and not everytime.cfg ?

I have some other questions, but just answer that for the moment


Thanks all

little error on my signature
The correct is here

JC, you really ought to start a new topic for this. It's not related the the topic.
If you have more questions, please start another.

And I agree with what you say about noobs. But it's no fun when the same one kills you 3 times on the trot and they are unwilling to listen. They really should go and practice a bit first.

I have not run a server without using dedicated so I'm not sure.
Are you sure you're putting everytime.cfg in the right place?
Does user armagetron have the rights to read it?

autoexec.cfg loads as tronserver is started/restarted only
everytime.cfg is loaded at the end of each round.
