Excellent. So because I am not running the map rotator script with the 84.2 version it hangs as it is waiting for the next input from the script? OK, I need to figure out how to get the scripts working then.

OK, I had a look at the php files and I am now officially lost

Did you try to command "php maprotator.php"?

You'll most likely want to configure your server config here in maprotator.php:



You should be good to go then.

If you want to change more stuff, the map specific match settings would be where it says // CUSTOMIZE YOUR MAP SETTINGS HERE

The next possible customization step would be to define the order or logic which the maps are played, if it matters, but I doubt it matters in your case.

I'll just dump this here for now, we'll have to compile the server guides somewhere later.

The following has been made in Windows point of view.

About running multiple RWR servers with scripts in one machine:
1. have two separate copies of RWR server in the machine with media files included, e.g. C:\RWR1 and C:\RWR2

2. copy any metagame scripts you want to use in separate folders under both C:\RWR1 and C:\RWR2, e.g. RWR1 is a PvP server using maprotator, you'd have C:\RWR1\maprotator folder, and RWR2 will be using invasion with C:\RWR2\invasion

3. to setup separate script control for each server instance, you need to configure RWR2 server to communicate using other pipes than the default ones (\\.\pipe\rwr_server_in, \\.\pipe\rwr_server_out), you'd achieve this with having a file metagame.xml in C:\RWR2; here's a Linux template http://modulaatio.com/runningwithrifles/metagame.xml, and modify it as follows:


4. next, configure the script to communicate with the correct RWR server, e.g. edit C:\RWR2\invasion\comms.php and modify accordingly

* out and in being mixed above is correct, the script sends out data to RWR server's in pipe, and vice versa

5. to finalize invasion mode in RWR2, we take the weapon specific rank limitations and other things that make invasion resources different from the usual game into use by adding the following in C:\RWR2\settings.xml (consider running the server once to get settings.xml generated in the first place):


6. Launch C:\RWR1\rwr_server.exe and run "php C:\RWR1\maprotator\maprotator.php" (e.g. in command prompt, or if .php files are associated with the PHP CLI on your system, just double click on maprotator.php)

7. Launch C:\RWR2\rwr_server.exe and run "php C:\RWR2\invasion\invasion.php"

8. Test the comms by calling "declare_winner 1" in both RWR consoles, and check that the scripts respond

It works, it works! {SAS}Beerdrinkers now has map rotation, and {SAS}Invasion is now live!

Thanks for having patience Pasik

Well, despite the day getting off to a bad start thanks to a power cut and a rather ill son meaning jobs today were all cancelled I feel quite pleased with myself

• Standard RWR Server with auto map rotation is up and running
• Invasion RWR Server is now up and running
• I remembered enough to fire off a couple of batch files which now one click start each server
• I have made a lovely big pot of lentil soup

So, yay to me, and welcome to the {SAS}Invasion Server!

(I may have had a little help from Pasik, just a little mind you, hehe!)
