OK, everything seems to be running fine now.

Note that the files needed by cedserver should put where ever you are saying they are, or already there when it asks for them first time using the ./cedserver --init command. With Windows, I'd just sort of make a "dummy file" without the files in place before I set the paths. This wasn't possible with linux.Once you enter this information, an .xml file is created and you won't have to enter this information again Cedserver should create this file for you, so that you get your encrypted password binded to your account used to login to it with your Centred editor client.

A sample Linux config looks like this, and is named cedserver.xml :

I am getting these in my terminal window running the server:

Code Select Expand

(CentrED:11193): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

(CentrED:11193): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_source_remove: assertion `tag > 0' failed


But these bugs don't seem to affect anything yet. The only weirdness I see is some furniture sticking out of a couple of buildings.

The only other problem I had was when I ran the actual client. The pop-up window that comes up and asks you for a few client files you need in a folder. I could not read all of the files cedserver needed! So,here is a list to these files... I threw them in /home/me/centred/gamedata

art.mul
artidx.mul
hues.mul
tiledata.mul
texmaps.mul
texidx.mul

Have fun

Ah ok that's good to know. My problem though is that I do NOT HAVE a config file at all LOL. I can't seemed to make the cedserver generate one. That's why I'm asking if perhaps a sample one could be posted or someone could tell me how to generate one. Your English is OK, hehe thanks for your input on this.

I'm trying to run the Linux version of the server. When using the --init command to generate a file, after answering the questions it crashes giving the message about the map not found... which is fine, when I usually generated it when I was using Centred with Windows with whatever crap then edited it with my real values in Notepad. The problem with this version though is even if I have my CedServer folder set to full permissions, the file never  generates.

Could you please perhaps post a sample config file for Linux or tell me how I should fix this?

T.I.A.  Excellent editor, I can't wait to start using it again

Hey guys! I've been working on caves for a while using all sorts of editors and methods, but a lot of people keep pointing me to this editor. I have found it quite useful for FINALLY cleaning all these OSI statics I had floating around in the black dungeon area of my custom map I've made from scratch, but I am still struggling to make caves.

I think I understand the entrance and right tiles to use for that, and confirmed that in another thread here. My problem lies in placing the cave floor tiles UNDER my existing mountain which is an average of 30z high. Trying to draw tiles in flat view of course just covers the tops of my mountains with cave floor. I tried drawing tiles at 0 z radius thinking it would go under the mountain, but it just causes a square crater in the mountain where my cave should be.

Can someone help me out here? I think it would be helpful to other new users of this program as well, as I'm sure many turn to it when they realize they just can't make decent mining caves with other methods.
