Stars! AutoHost Client / Bugs / #5 Lauching game from AHclient and UNC drives

Frame,

Please try the attached jar file. It should log exactly
what it's running when it runs the stars executable (both
when launching a game and when generating P and F files). I
don't have any UNC drives to play with, so I'm afraid I will
have to rely on you to help me get this right.

If you have any info on how to set up a UNC-type access, I'd
be happy to listen - I have a Linux server at home I can use
to test - I just don't know how to set it up :o(

Hi jchoyt

np - I'm glad to be of any help for you.

Tried the .jar and this is the log:
Utils: Running: \\X5\games\stars\stars.exeayeti.m10-p[PASS]

note: ayeti.m10 is ofcourse my turn.

the initial command is correct, seems the parameter for the
m10 doesn't respect the 'GameDir' prefix.
also - there are no spaces, however I believe you trimmed
them for the debug output.

Maybe it's really this simple, hope stars.exe does save the
game into the correct folder (we'll learn soon :)

Let me know. I tried putting in the full path with the
filename, but then stars couldn't open my file. I set the
working directory to be the directory the files are in, so
it is supposed to pick it up. I wonder if there is
something wrong with Java's ability to handle UNC paths as a
working path....Is there a way to map the UNC path to a
drive and see if that works?

I have attached a version that uses something like:

/home/jchoyt/bin/stars.sh /tmp/ahc.m1 -p PASS

were /tmp is where my game files are. It doesn't work on my
system, but I'm obviously not running Windows so no big
deal. Let me know if it works on yours and maybe I can try
to put in a check to see if it's a UNC path and do it
differently.

I am logging the supposed working path as well. This is in
both the "Launch Game" button, and also after a turn file is
downloaded, so please check both.

Jeff

PS - yeah - that was sloppy logging. Fixed that in this
version, too.

Hiya,

looks good now: logs and gamelaunch work as intended.
when saving game or save_submit the correct file gets
updated.

I'll do a two confirmung tests (the 2nd stars launch after turn
dl) over the next 2 days - one time from C:\ and 2nd time from
\\UNC with complete upload/download.

so far.. great work, thanks!

ps: yes mapping a drive would solve it - that's how I used it
before. still, having true unc support now is really nice.

mapped drives can differ at machines (f: here, g: at another
box..), which would make the GameDir setting in
ahclient.props faulty.

Hi Jeff,

Test failed because the new launcher-fixed jar doesn't contain
the password-download fix.

Quick Bump :)

The upload/download works at the 12:52 file,
the launching from a UNC folder works at the 20:00 file.

Couldn't test them together, but each versions work fine.

Think you should release it :) As the current version still isn't
working at all with starsautohost.org

Ya know. I say this to myself at least twice a day. Dammit.
I'll push to get it out tonight. In the meantime, can you
check a new build for me? See if this one does both for you....

Same error also for the p10 file.

Now, I did create them for a quick test with a texteditor (0
bytes both) and the download works flawlessly (however
game doesn't launch automatically (it's no new turn tho - have
to wait until tomorrow to verify if the client loads up on a really
new turn).

Note: Turn upload and Launch Stars works flawlessly. Also
the Turn get's downloaded, the F10/P10 file however isn't
found/created? (I don't know what they are for tho).

ps: no worries on the delay :) I know these situations too
well, and I'm very glad you find some time to work on it.

Hiya,

Affirmative, upload and download works perfect, game launch
without hazzle. What did change is that the game doesn't
launch however when there is a new turn (which I like a lot
personally :)

It's however required to create the F and P file manually.
