  • Added log: commandExecution.log: Shows both commands executed by players and Telnet clients
  • Added symbolic links in the log-folder which always point to the latest logs, e.g. current_output.log -> <latestsession>_output.log

NOTE: The scripts from now on depend on the server fixes for their full functionality (i.e. currently logging).

v.31 (2014-07-17)

  • Switched to using the dedicated server build of 7dtd

Update from previous versions:

  • Delete your engine folder and then run 7dtd.sh updateengine

v.30 (2014-07-13)

  • Forcing 7dtd to run with locale "C". This should reduce the number of possible problems in the future ;)

Update from previous versions:

  • Depending on your locale you might have to delete the file $SDTD_BASE/instances/<instance>/Navezgane/<game name>/players.xml or update the timestamps within manually. NOTE: Deleting this file will result in friendships on this instance to be reset and keystones won't belong to anyone anymore. EDIT: Also the file $SDTD_BASE/instances/<instance>/admins.xml might be affected if you had bans in there.

v.29 (2014-07-12)

  • Same thing as v.27 and v.28 ... at least for me everything is ok now

v.28 (2014-07-12)

  • Same thing as v.27 ... this should really do it ;)

v.27 (2014-07-12)

  • Fixed minor mistake in start-script, output_log parsing should work again

v.26 (2014-07-11)

  • Fixed stop-script

v.25 (2014-07-10)

  • Changed log monitor to reflect changes in log output of alpha 8.7
  • Moved logs to a subfolder logs within the instance folder. Each time the instance is restarted new files with the current date/time will be created.
  • Backup option added (see Backups for more details on this option):
    • SDTD_BACKUP_SAVEWORLD
  • Added MaxSpawnedZombies and VACEnabled serverconfig options to the instance editor under category Server.

Update from previous versions:

  • Add the new backup option manually to /etc/7dtd.conf
  • Edit instances you want to have the new config options once, i.e. run 7dtd.sh instances edit <instance> and just save+exit

v.24 (2014-07-08)

  • On start of an instance kill monitor-script if it is still running from previous session (e.g. because 7dtd was shutdown through the ingame console)

v.23 (2014-07-07)

  • Dropped requirement for calling checkRootLoadConf after sourcing /usr/local/lib/7dtd/common.sh

v.22 (2014-07-06)

  • (Hopefully) fixed playernames getting cut off in log on a blank. Bug introduced with v.21

v.21 (2014-07-05)

  • Player name for logging is taken from log output instead of telnet as this seems to have problems with unicode characters
  • Chat is logged to chat.log

v.20 (2014-06-20)

v.19 (2014-06-15)

  • Using SteamDB.info for remote BuildId retrieval instead of SteamCMD. Should properly show available updates now

v.18 (2014-06-15)

  • Fixed updatescripts deleting start-stop-daemon

Update from previous versions: You have to recompile start-stop-daemon once when updating from previous versions:

cd /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wno-return-type -o start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.c
chown root.root start-stop-daemon
chmod 0755 start-stop-daemon

v.17 (2014-06-15)

  • Fixed display of server name with blanks in status command

v.16 (2014-06-09)

  • Fixed log-monitor to properly handle nicknames with blanks

v.15 (2014-06-09)

  • updateengine command now checks current local and remote build id to see if there is an update at all
    • To force an update just as before call with --force
    • To only check for updates call with --check
  • updatescripts command allows forced update with --force

v.14 (2014-06-09)

  • Backup options added (see Backups for more details on these options):
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MIN_BACKUPS_KEEP
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_BACKUPS
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_STORAGE
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_AGE
    • SDTD_BACKUP_COMPRESS
  • Made cron-script to run backups with lower priority for reduced server load spikes.

Update from previous versions:

  • Add the new backups options manually to /etc/7dtd.conf
  • Change the line in /etc/cron.d/7dtd-backup and add nice -n 15 so it looks like this:
    #0 *     * * *   root    nice -n 15 /usr/local/bin/7dtd.sh backup
    
    (The hash in the front obviously depends whether you enabled the automatic backups or not)

v.13 (2014-06-05)

  • Command updatescripts added: Updates the management scripts
  • Command about added: Show short about and version number
