Can't start scenarios

[sebneira]

I may be wrong here, but it seems like I can't start scenarios without having to call the binary directly.

The flag to start a scenario is --start-server-load-scenario.

Thanks!

you can change the source, add this to the case under new-map or something...

start-scenario)
    if [ -z $2 ]; then
      echo -e "You must specify a scenario name example: scenario-name or base/freeplay or latest for the latest scenario added"
      exit 1
    fi
    scenarioname="$2"
    if [ "${scenarioname}" == "latest" ]; then
      scenarioname="$(ls -t ${WRITE_DIR}/scenarios/ | head -1)"
      echo -e "Using latest scenario: ${scenarioname}"
    fi
    # Check if user wants to use custom map gen settings
    if [ $3 ]; then
      if [ -e "${WRITE_DIR}/$3" ]; then
        if [ $4 ]; then
          if [ -e "${WRITE_DIR}/$4" ]; then
          mapgen="--map-gen-settings=${WRITE_DIR}/$3 --map-settings=${WRITE_DIR}/$4"
          else
          echo -e "Specified map settings json does not exist"
          exit 1
          fi
        fi
      else
        echo -e "Specified map gen settings json does not exist"
        exit 1
      fi
    else
        mapgen="--preset rail-world"
    fi

    # Stop Service
    if is_running; then
      send_cmd "Generating new save, please stand by"
      if ! stop_service; then
        echo -e "Failed to stop server, unable to create new save"
        exit 1
      fi
    fi
    if ! start_service_scenario "--start-server-load-scenario ${scenarioname}" "${mapgen}"; then
      echo -e "Could not start $SERVICE_NAME"
      exit 1
    fi
    ;;

and add a function under start_service(), something like this...

start_service_scenario() {
  if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo -e "No scenario name passed to start_service_scenario()"
    return 1
  fi
  scenario="$1"
  if [ -z "$2" ]; then
    echo -e "No map gen passed to start_service_scenario()"
    return 1
  fi
  mapgen="$2"
  if [ -e ${PIDFILE} ]; then
    ps -p $(cat ${PIDFILE}) > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
      echo -e "${SERVICE_NAME} is already running!"
      return 1
    fi
    debug "Found rogue pid file, server might have crashed"
    rm ${PIDFILE} 2> /dev/null
  fi

  if ! check_permissions; then
    echo -e "Error! Incorrect permissions, unable to write to ${WRITE_DIR}"
    return 1
  fi

  if [ "${SAVELOG}" ==  "0" ]; then
    debug "Erasing log ${CMDOUT}"
    echo "" > ${CMDOUT}
  fi

  as_user "tail -f ${FIFO} |${INVOCATION} ${scenario} ${mapgen} >> ${CMDOUT} 2>&1 & echo \$! > ${PIDFILE}"

  ps -p $(cat ${PIDFILE}) > /dev/null 2>&1
  if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then
    echo -e "Unable to start ${SERVICE_NAME}"
    return 1
  else
    echo -e "Started ${SERVICE_NAME} with pid: $(cat ${PIDFILE}), please see log for details"
  fi
}

shouldn't be that hard

When I use the script after inserting the code I get --start-server-load-scenario can't be used together with --start-server-load-latest

Could you please take another look? I'm not well versed with code.

Should be possible :)

I was able to get this to work after making this change to the above code if ! start_service_scenario ${scenarioname} "${mapgen}"; then
