This subdirectory contains scripts and a config file that can be used
|
|
to start a dedicated Xonotic server on linux, mac or windows systems
|
|
and also some tools that help with maintaining your server.
|
|
|
|
You will need to copy the right script for your system into your
|
|
Xonotic main directory, where the normal binaries are. You then need
|
|
to copy and ADJUST the config file which is called server.cfg. You
|
|
can copy it either into the Xonotic/data directory where the big
|
|
data*.pk3 file is or when running on linux or mac you can as well copy
|
|
it into a special directory named '~/.xonotic/data'. After you have
|
|
setup everything and have adjusted the config file you can start the
|
|
server by running the server script.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure your server is always uptodate! Just signup the
|
|
Xonotic release mailinglist to get informed about new releases.

|
|
|
|
An important thing is to make sure that your firewall does allow
|
|
players to connect to your server. This typicly means you will have
|
|
to open or forward the port (see the line that sets the variable port
|
|
in your config.cfg for the right port number, default is 26000) to the
|
|
computer running your server. How to do this does depend on your
|
|
computer and network setup.
|
|
|
|
If you plan to install custom maps on your server you should read the
|
|
file Xonotic/Docs/mapdownload.txt to learn how to setup automatic map
|
|
download.
|
|
|
|
In case you want to rename the server.cfg file, e.g. because you want
|
|
to run several servers on one machine, you have to edit the script and
|
|
change the name there too.
|
|
|
|
A very useful tool for running and controlling a server is the
|
|
application 'gnu screen'. It should be available for all usual
|
|
operating systems. You can find some hints about its usage here:
|
|
http://jmcpherson.org/screen.html
|
|
|
|
The options in the config file are only the most interesting and
|
|
important ones. You can get a list of all available commands and
|
|
variables with 'cmdlist' and 'cvarlist' in the server console.
|
|
|
|
rcon.pl is a perl script that implements rcon which can be used to
|
|
remotely control your server.
|
|
|
|
rcon2irc is a Xonotic server to irc gateway. It allows you to watch
|
|
and communicate with active players on your server via irc. Read its
|
|
rcon2irc.txt to learn how to setup and use it!
|
|
|
|
help.cfg is a Xonotic config file providing a simple help message
|
|
system. It prints all the messages from a list, one after the other
|
|
with an configureable delay between them. Great to provide beginners
|
|
with some hints.
