Guide : How to host Zandronum Server on linux.

[kirihune]

Hello everyone, i'm trying to learn how to host zandronum server using just ubuntu/linux. I'm trying to setup some dedicated servers on my country since i hardly see one however i'm using ubuntu on my workstation.

Can anyone give me a short direction? i got the zandronum linux files however i dont see how do i setup for example : custom wads,iwads,packs ( general configuration ) as i can do with idse or doomseker or any other tool out there for win32.

Any help? After learning i'll be writing a full guide step-by-step. I'm googled and tried on my own for quite a while but with no sucess.

Thanks.

well, there's always the direct route:

Code: Select all

zandronum-server -port 10666 -iwad doom2.wad -file <extra wads/pk3s here> +sv_nojump 1 +sv_nocrouch 1 +sv_hostname "This is not a server, it's a sandwich"

the command gets pretty damn long though, so I'd recommend automating it

if only zandronum had the "wads" command from odamex, as well as stuff like sv_port

TRY WITH NORMAL BINARY.

TRY WITH NORMAL BINARY.

Tried that. It started the client not the server, as it should I suppose. It also X forwarded the client over ssh to me at a snail crawling speed. Which was kinda weird because I never set ssh to allow X forwarding ...heh

if you don't have zandronum-server, just use zandronum with the '-host' flag
