self created addon is not loaded by dedicated linux server

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i think i m doin a little mistake in my addon creation.
The addon i try to create is called inidb. I know that there is a downloadable release but its library (inidb.dll) is for windows only.
I downloaded the library linux sources from git hub (https://github.com/newtondev/inidb-linux) and compiled them to the needed inidb.so file for my virtual linux server.
The unpacked addon is part of that download and consists of a config.cpp file and a init.sqf.

 

config.cpp:

class CfgPatches {
  class iniDBI {
    units[] = {};
    weapons[] = {};
    requiredVersion = 0.1;
    requiredAddons[] = {};
    init = "call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\inidb\init.sqf'";
  };
};

Those 2 files are the content of the folder inidb which i packed with cpbo to inidb.pbo

 

My folder structure at server is as described at git hub:

 

   @inidb               (folder)

         db                (folder)

         inidb.so        (file)

         addons        (folder)

            inidb.pbo  (file)

 

Im starting my server with the option:  -mod=@inidb

 

Generaly my dedicated linux server is able to handle mods. I have other mods (not self created) which are running fine.

 

In my mission which should use the addon i ve the following init.sqf file:

 

init.sqf

if(isServer) then {
call compile preProcessFile "\inidb\init.sqf";
};

The log file at server produces the following line:

Warning Message: Script inidb\init.sqf not found

I think there are 2 things which could cause this message and i need your help to get a clue whats goin wrong.

It could be that i did a mistake with the path to the addons init.sqf file.

The other thing could be that the addon is not loaded by the server for some reason, but i dont know.

 

I googled that problem fo a week and i tried other pathes as described above and i tried to autostart the script by setting up a module in config.cpp and in my mission. But nothing helped, i cant get it working.

 

Edit:

Ok, 24 hours r gone since i posted this, 50 views and no little answer. I think i m doin something wrong with that thread. For that reason i try to simplify it to some questions:

How defines an addon the path to its scripts?

Is it defined by the folder which was packed with cpbo?

What does that $PREFIX$ file do i read about? Do i need those file in my case and which content would be correct?

The script file in the addons pbo-file should be called from a script in my mission with call compile preProcessFile "\inidb\init.sqf"; what is to do that this works?

Are there any reasons which could cause a server to not load an addon?

 

Guys ur help would be very appreciated cause i m stuck with the creation of my mission and cant do a little step forward until the problem with that addon is solved.
