The server, so mxserver.exe I think it is called. Server programming running when the server is on.

Are you doing a lot of other things on your pc? I know that when I played sim and had a server running at the same time, it was no problem, but if I started to watch a youtube video or so on chrome, it would run really slow.

Hi JLV,
I set up a windows server actually and I'm getting

Code: Select all

Can't rename lineup file: File exists

error even if all users included Everybody got the total control of the lineup files.
I saw in 2008 the RF had this issue but there isn't any comment about the resolution.

[jlv]

That's actually somewhat hard to fix. When the server updates the lineup, it writes the lineup to a temporary file and then renames it over the specified lineup file. It does it that way so the update will be atomic - anything reading the lineup file will never see an empty or incomplete lineup. The best I can do to fix it would be to remove the lineup file before renaming the temporary file on Windows servers. That won't be atomic though, if a script checks at the wrong time the file won't be there.

[MX4EVER]

Yeah windows is actually doing shit when you try to rename. This is tricky but here is how I already figured out this rename issue, use

Code: Select all

move /Y lineup.txt.updating lineup.txt
/Y placed after move will overwrite without confirmation.

instead of the

Code: Select all

ren or rename

[jlv]

Digging a little deeper it looks like I'd have to use MoveFileTransacted() to get the desired atomic operation. Only problem is Microsoft says not to use it right there in the documentation. I think I'll just do "remove(fn);rename(tmp,fn);". There'll be a tiny window where the file doesn't exist but scripts can either poll until it gets renamed or use Linux if you want something more robust.

...and done:

Thanks for the release. I know how better is Linux but my friends helping are too neophytes to use it
