Greetings all.

A couple questions and observations regarding dirtsand.

I am stuck at the point that is just "past the scope of this document". Assuming that I am complete idiot, how do you generate Python.pak and how do you NTD encode the SDL and Python.pak files? moul-scripts is not terribly useful in that regard.

I can't coax dirtsand to read the keys provided in dirtsand.ini the error is

Code: Select all

Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Auth.N' ignored
Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Auth.K' ignored
Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Game.N' ignored
Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Game.K' ignored
Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Gate.N' ignored
Warning: Unknown setting 'Server.Gate.K' ignored

These are the keys in dirtsand.ini (I will change the keys later)

Code: Select all

Server.Auth.N = zasxvvOFaXMEKaw/tnYITp2L/MPVQc+DY9eewITtH1U95goGtiggFTO9PMZ3p9o/i6CYhqD4aFeLZmADyEBfQw==

Has anyone noticed that if you remove the keys from the clients server.ini, dirtsand will segfault?

Whoops, this is actually my fault... The keygen command was outputting "Server.<Type>.<K,N>", but the ini expectes "Key.<Type>.<K,N>"... I've committed a fix for the keygen command, but you can just change Server. to Key. in your ini file without having to re-generate the keys.

Sorry about the confusion!


EDIT: And to answer your other questions, libHSPlasma contains some tools which should help with the pak generation and encryption (PyPack and PlasmaCrypt, respectively). Alternatively, you can also use the tools that come with the Plasma/CWE source distribution for this task.

I have a problem with the following command.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 setup and I am well on my way to settign up a dirtsand server. However the following line bombs out (taken exactly from zrax instructions)

sudo -u postgres psql -d template1

When I run it, it fails saying, "Unknown user postgres"

The prereqs are a little vague as to version numbers, and does not explain what version of apache to install. Is anyone able to help?

I'm guessing that since you just PMed me about a later step in the process, you got this part resolved...

Yeah, Thanks Zrax.

Pluggin away!

Better yet, since this is a modification of a file tracked in github, you could create a github account and submit a pull request for the README changes. That way, the changes are tracked with your own username attached, in case anyone has questions about it. This was part of the reason we went with github instead of throwing more junk on my server

Ok will do... Thanks for the pointers.

btw, how do you use a dropbox?

See www.dropbox.com.

It is a well-known cloud storage service.
Very user-friendly.

They give you 2GB free storage, in the hope that eventually you will want more and pay for it.
