Hey Kobaz! I've thought this was a great idea, and I've expanded upon what you have originally made.

First off, let me say this was a great start. I've added a configure script that I use personally, as well as fixed some bugs that I've noticed with your script. Likewise, I've put a few of my own twists on this so that the date/time and version of the script is put into the bash files.

Here's the noteable changes:
  • Commented heavily
  • Added support for SOD with new symlinks
  • Added symlink for EQLoginServer (minus configuration files)
  • Properly escaped variables on the 'cat' out of the files so the variables are actually in the file start/stop/persist_world files
  • Added (my own) custom start/stop editions which is contolable via a 'eqemu.conf' file which can start/stop the chat/mail/login server(s)
  • Updated the "get scripts" names to have a more standardized naming convention
  • Updated the "get scripts" to checkout from svn without extra directories (just how I do it, I think its cleaner and isn't as deep)
  • Added a echo variable so the time/date and the version of the script that generated the start/stop/persist_world files (all of these are 99% taken from the linux install wiki page)
  • Updated the symlinks to work with the (updated) svn checkout process
  • Changed shebang lines to use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh so the source command will work properly

I'm not sure that is a comprehensive list, but it's most of the changes I have made. This layout seems to make the updating and installation a bit simpler. I've been very happy using this and I hope the community at large can make use of it. I've included the source below. I've tested this here a few times and I'm able to get a server up and running with about 10 minutes of work (mostly involving editing configuration files).

A short list, in the proper order, to make a server is listed here:
  1. Run the script to create the symlinks and start/stop/persist_world files.
  2. Run all 4 get scripts to check out the latest code from SVN repositories.
  3. Optionally configure for bots before compile.
  4. Compile the server in projecteqemu direcotry
    (You might spend some time here getting the required headers, or fixing any minor bugs that exist in SVN)
  5. Optionally compile the EQEmuLoginServer
    (Don't forget to copy the needed encryption includes over!)
  6. Copy eqemu_config.xml.full to eqemu_config.xml in the server directory and edit appropriately.
  7. Optionally copy the login server support files to the server directory if desired.
    (These are the 'login*' files in projecteqemu\EQLoginServer\login_util\ direcotry.)
  8. Copy the 'spells_en.txt' and 'spells_us.txt' files to your server directory.
  9. Edit the 'eqemu.conf' file to start the appropriate servers.
  10. Source the database, and apply an new updates since the last PEQ database if desired.
  11. Use the ./start and ./stop scripts provided in the server directory to run the server.

I think this pretty much sums up what I've got so far. Please let me know any comments. I'd really love to see this turned into a script that can simplify the server setup process. I think this is a good start.

If anyone would like to collaborate on a wiki page for this (maybe include directions on keeping an up-to-date server as well?) or something else let me know. I'm using this personally and can roll out a new server very quickly.

Here's the new eqemu.sh I've created:

  Things you still have to do:

  - Run the 4 "get" scripts: cd ${EMUDIR} && ./get_db && ./get_quests && ./get_maps && ./get_eqemu
  - Build the server: cd projecteqemu && make
  - Build the login server
  - Create/Edit your eqemu_config.xml in ${EMUDIR}/server 
  - Create/Edit your login server configuration
  - Copy your spells_en.txt and spells_us.txt to ${EMUDIR}/server
  - Source the database
  - Edit the ${EMUDIR}/server/eqemu.conf file to start and stop the proper servers you use

  Once all thats done, change to the ${EMUDIR}/server and run
  
      ./start

  to start the server and 

      ./stop
  
  to stop it.

  Check your logfiles in ${EMUDIR}/server/logs.
