ui=NONE still requires UI ?

[celkaris]

starting rf2 dedicated server with +ui=NONE i got the following error:

err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window

Is the dedicated server still trying to do some ui init on startup ?

If yes, is there an extra argument to pass to skip the systray icon init too ?


Note: on the same machine, running "wine cmd" works just fine.

In the meantime, will setup a temporary display there to see how it goes

EDIT: dedicated server now running on that linux box, under wine + vncserver (vnc port forwarding later disabled) ; will publish the full procedure used (wrote down every single step). Would still be glad to have a native linux dedicated server binary though so i can get rid of that useless vncserver

EDIT2: unfortunately, rf2 dedicatedserver crashed over night (without any custom plugin involved yet) ... giving it another chance, if it keep crashing i'll forget this project. (i won't setup a winblows guest for this purpose).

... yes, server keeps crashing randomly, this time during qualifying session while 5+ players were connected

In a few days i'll give a last try, by running it within a qemu/kvm VM instead of an openvz container and see if this improves stability (openvz always gets tricky with limits)
