Client error when joining a server.

I made a server on debian 6 (64bit), and tried to join it. Then couldn't join and got this error:

Console doesn't show anything odd, just that i've connected, and then disconnected.

Other servers work fine.

It looks like an old version of Unv. Have you tried updating?

[apseryberox]

Old server or old client? Could try that tomorrow. Downloaded the server directly from website so it'd be wierd if it was old.

[apseryberox]

Why is there only old versions here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/unvanquished/files/Linux. That's the problem I'm having, because I just downloaded the top one thinking it's the newest version. Please fix that.

We have .debs for squeeze. You could use them…

[apseryberox]

Yeah thanks, did that. I'm a massive linux noob (using only command line). I managed to get server installed but now when I run unvanquished-server, nothing happens (also can't see it in top).

What am I doing wrong now D: ?

[seana11]

What do you get at the console?

The server has to be run with special parameters, in the best case as a daemon by init or systemd.

Here are sample files for both systems:

systemd:

Code: Select all

% cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/unvanquished.service 
[Unit]
Description=Unvanquished Dedicated Server
After=network.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/unvanquished.conf
User=unvanquished
Group=unvanquished
ExecStart=/usr/bin/unvanquished-server +set dedicated $DEDICATED +exec $EXEC

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

init:

Code: Select all

 % cat /etc/rc.d/unvanquished 
#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

. /etc/conf.d/unvanquished.conf

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting Unvanquished Server"
    /usr/bin/sudo -u $USER -g $GROUP unvanquished-server +set dedicated $DEDICATED +exec $EXEC >/dev/null 2>&1 &
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      add_daemon unvanquished
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping Unvanquished Server"
    /usr/bin/sudo -u unvanquished /usr/bin/pkill unvanquished >/dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      rm_daemon unvanquished
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  restart)
    $0 stop
    sleep 1
    $0 start $2
    ;;
  *)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    ;;
