Is there a way to make a permanent host using a VPS serivce?
-
Hey,
So after reading a few of the tutorials I though what I was looking for was the triplea-game-headless release. So I downloaded it, uploaded it to my VPS, opened port 3300, and made these changes to run_bot:
readonly MAPS_FOLDER="/home/triplea-game-headless-2.2.20868/downloadedMaps" readonly BOT_PORT=3300 readonly BOT_NAME="Bot_${USER}_${BOT_PORT}" readonly BOT_PASSWORD= readonly LOBBY_URI="localhost" readonly LOBBY_SUPPORT_PASSWORD= java \ -server \ -Xmx256M \ -Djava.awt.headless=true \ -jar bin/triplea-game-headless-2.2.20868.jar \ -Ptriplea.lobby.game.supportPassword="$LOBBY_SUPPORT_PASSWORD" \ -Ptriplea.lobby.uri="$LOBBY_URI" \ -Ptriplea.map.folder="$MAPS_FOLDER" \ -Ptriplea.name="$BOT_NAME" \ -Ptriplea.port="$BOT_PORT" \ -Ptriplea.server.password="$BOT_PASSWORD"Then doing ./run_bot yields this:

Am I doing something wrong or did I misunderstand the intended use of the triplea-game-headless release?
Sorry in advance if the ladder is the case.
-
@Mathias-Sven note the port already in use error. The bot should have terminated in this case but kept running in a zombie state. Try killing all have instances and then try again
-
I did that because I noticed if I didn't run it twice I didn't get the "INFO: Waiting for users to connect." prompt.

Only If I run ./run_bot again I get "INFO: Waiting for users to connect." in which case if I try to access the game via the client I get no error bur nothing happens.
-
That IllegalArg is likely the bot trying to connect to lobby. Do you know which URI you have configured for the lobby?
The arg for lobby URI should be something like "triplea.lobby.uri" with value "https://prod2-lobby.triplea-game.org"
-
Yes that was the problem, the URI was wrong I thought I was supposed to put the localhost, my apologies...
Thanks for the help!
