Trouble with Script to Launch Binary in Another Directory

[invictus2010]

Hi there!

I have a script that I use to launch a game server. It works well in the terminal, but I think script-server is not navigating to the other directories as required by the script. Here's the relevant section of code that I think is not running properly:

export NWNX_CORE_LOAD_PATH=~/nwnx/Binaries
LD_PRELOAD=~/nwnx/Binaries/NWNX_Core.so \
 ./nwserver-linux \

What script configuration settings should I play with to get this working?

Thanks for the reply! I know that I have set the working directory correctly, because the script starts to run. I'm not sure that it is handling the script's reference to binaries in other directories. Does that make sense?

Yes, this should also affect paths, used by the script invictus2010 ***@***.***> schrieb am So., 24. Okt. 2021, 04:07:

If the script is stored in ~, the working directory would be ~ right? Thanks for your responsiveness--I know this is a newbie question :)

Not sure why the following doesn't work... The script works when I run it from the terminal but doesn't start the game when I run it from script-server.

I know that the script runs because it will detect if the game is already running and will echo the appropriate message. So something is going wrong downstream of that.

MODNAME=Hazev3

status=$(./mod-status.sh)
if [ "$status" -eq "1" ]; then
    echo "$MODNAME is already running"
    exit;
fi

if [ -f /home/nwn/.mod-maintenance ]; then
    echo "$MODNAME maintenance in progress (.mod-maintenance file exists), not starting"
    exit;
fi

# Make a backup of all characters each time the server restarts
./mod-savechars.sh

pushd ~/nwn/bin/linux-x86
export NWNX_TWEAKS_HIDE_CLASSES_ON_CHAR_LIST=y
export NWNX_TWEAKS_HIDE_PLAYERS_ON_CHAR_LIST=1

# Keep all logs in this directory
LOGFILE=~/logs/mod-`date +%s`.txt
echo "Starting $MODNAME. Log is $LOGFILE"

# Set game options below

export NWNX_CORE_LOAD_PATH=~/nwnx/Binaries
LD_PRELOAD=~/nwnx/Binaries/NWNX_Core.so \

echo $! > ~/.modpid 
popd

Hi @invictus2010 to be honest I don't understand what the script is doing 😅
Where is the actual command to start the game? Is it nwserver-linux? Do you see anything in the game log file?
