[fixed] MG 3.5.3 beta1 - headless server (Rev 2815) kicks from game

[TotalNoob]

Hi

Today Derek and me were having a duel on headless(engineer) server (Rev 2815). In the middle of the fight we just saw the finishing screen with our results (both with loss) and no error message (no information about server disconnect, nothing). Maybe there will be some log on the server. No idea how to reproduce this situation. I was playing Romans, Derek Norsemen, map Conflict, tileset Mediterran(?). The server was available to play just after we came back to the lobby and dissappeared after a while. Perhaps it was just shut down, maybe we should ask the owner. Time of our game: Tuesday, 15 November 2011, around 22:20 (GMT+1).

hey.
it was on my server (engineer) and there is the following log:

the file was about 4mb :/

i have a similar log from a game before, it starts the same and has about 20mb.

the server was not shut down in between and was still running after the "crash".
there is also a debugWorld.log, but i doubt there is anything usefull in it.

It is possible that the network connection was lost to the server? The server command [] output means something was pressing on the keyboard of the server (or triggering a keyboard event)

[treba]

hehe thats funny.
it's a vps, i doubt it has a keyboard

[softcoder]

try the latest svn (if possible) and report back the modified output (I try to log more error conditions).

Thanks

UPDATE: Just added this special for vps's

./megalgest --headless-server-mode=vps

This will never try to read the local console for commands. This can be stacked with the existing exit command:

--headless-server-mode=exit,vps

Thanks
