[realXtend] realXtend server aborting on startup
Hello, This appears to me to be a configuration issue but my Tundra server stalls on startup and causes Windows Server 2008 (32 bit Pro Edition) which is patched through SP2 and all subsequent updates. We used the installer version which I believe is Tundra 2.2.1, and we are attempting the following start: start Tundra.exe --server --headless --protocol UDP --file C:\tundra \working\mediatest03.txml This startup: 1. Informs us that: Warning: Could not open OpenAL playback device 2. Fails after the following lines: Renderer: Initializing Ogre *-*-* Initializing Ogre *-*-* Version 1.7.3 (Cthugha) The Windows Server 2008 reports that a failure occurred but we really do not see the issue. One of the output lines of code from Tundra reports we are trying to start Tundra as a Windows GUI and then proceeds to open a command prompt and then begins the startup. Thanks for your help.

Re: [realXtend] realXtend server aborting on startup
That gui message is just the thing in main.cpp that gets printed and it spawns the cmd propmt for the --headless server. I think that message is a bit weird and should be propably just removed all together. can be found from https://github.com/realXtend/naali/blob/tundra2/src/Core/Tundra/main.cpp#L160 Also the null render system should be always selected in windows when --headless is in start params, should not matter if Direct3D9 is in the plugin list or not. But it might crash though if you dont have directx installed on the machine. Full log to pastebin or someting would help to make better sense of the situation. Also remove from https://github.com/realXtend/naali/blob/tundra2/bin/plugins.xml and add --loglevel debug to your startup params to get more detailed logs.

Thank you very much. This gives me a starting point.

Hi Jonne, Thanks for the link to the code. I will try to get a better handle on your code pool but it has been quite a while since I have coded Windows. I agree that message is a bit misleading and it is good to know it does not impact the startup. >From paragraph 2 I presume I am to edit the plugins.cfg file and make the settings Toni gave me in the earlier post. I have directX installed. I will also remove the "--hide_benign_ogre_messages" from the plugins.xml file. Back with you soon on the results.

Re: [realXtend] realXtend server aborting on startup
Dear Toni and Jonne, I editted the plugins.cfg file as instructed and the server came up without incident. Evidently if the render (either DirectX or GL) commented out we get this issue.
