<h2 id="database">💾 Database Setup</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>MySQL Setup (Recommended for Production)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Create Database</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Login to MySQL
|
||||
mysql -u root -p
|
||||
|
||||
# Create database
|
||||
CREATE DATABASE b3 CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

||||
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON b3.* TO 'b3'@'localhost';
|
||||
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Import B3 Schema</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># B3 will auto-create tables on first run
|
||||
# Or manually import schema:
|
||||
mysql -u b3 -p b3 < sql/b3.sql
|
||||
|
||||
# Key tables created:
|
||||
# - clients (player records)
|
||||
# - penalties (bans, warnings, kicks)
|
||||
# - aliases (player name history)
|
||||
# - ipaliases (IP address tracking)
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>SQLite Setup (Simple / Testing)</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># SQLite doesn't require separate installation
|
||||
# B3 will create b3.db file automatically
|
||||
# Database file location: b3/b3.db
|
||||
|
||||
# No manual setup required
|
||||
# Just configure b3.xml to use SQLite
|

<h3>B3 Not Connecting to Server</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Check RCON password in b3.xml matches server
|
||||
# Test RCON manually:
|
||||
# COD4 example:
|
||||
rcon_ip:port password status
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify game log file path is correct
|
||||
tail -f /path/to/games_mp.log
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Check B3 log for connection errors
|
||||
tail -f b3/logs/b3.log | grep ERROR
|

# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|

<h3>Commands Not Working</h3>
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Verify admin plugin is loaded in b3.xml</li>
|
||||
<li>Check player's admin level (!leveltest PlayerName)</li>
|
||||
<li>Ensure command prefix is correct (default: !)</li>
|
||||
<li>Check plugin_admin.ini for command permissions</li>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for background processes consuming resources</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Database Connection Failed</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># MySQL connection test
|
||||
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u b3 -p b3
|
||||
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
# Check database URL format in b3.xml:
|
||||
mysql://username:password@host/database
|
||||
# or
|
||||
sqlite://path/to/b3.db
|
||||
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor resources:</strong> Use <code>htop</code> or <code>top</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check disk I/O:</strong> Use <code>iotop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Review server logs</strong> for errors or warnings</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count</strong> or increase server resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Optimize configuration</strong> based on server capacity</li>
|

</ol>
|

<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Reduce log_level in b3.xml (try level 9 or lower)</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable unused plugins</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for plugin loops or errors in logs</li>
|
||||
<li>Optimize database (run OPTIMIZE TABLE on large tables)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|

<li>Network traffic and latency</li>
|

<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|

<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Strong Passwords</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for admin/RCON access</li>
|
||||
<li>Never use default passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Change passwords regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Don't share admin credentials unnecessarily</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Regular Updates</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Keep server software updated to the latest stable version</li>
|
||||
<li>Update operating system and dependencies regularly</li>
|
||||
<li>Subscribe to security advisories for your game</li>
|
||||
<li>Test updates on a staging server before production deployment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Access Control</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Limit SSH access to specific IPs if possible</li>
|
||||
<li>Use SSH keys instead of passwords</li>
|
||||
<li>Disable root login via SSH</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement fail2ban or similar intrusion prevention</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>DDoS Protection</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider DDoS protection services (Cloudflare, OVH, etc.)</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement rate limiting where supported</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor for unusual traffic patterns</li>
|
||||
<li>Have an incident response plan</li>
|
