This document describes how to install, configure and maintain dedicated servers for various popular multiplayer games, such as the Quake series, Half-Life/Counter-Strike and other first-person shooters. Linux makes a great operating system for game servers because of its stability and speed (not to mention it's Free).

I wrote this document because I couldn't find any decent documents covering more than one game. Wading through piles of readmes, guides, howtos and webpages can be quite tedious.

Game servers can consume a lot of CPU and bandwidth (depending on the game and the number of connected players). If you don't own the machine and want to run a server from your account, ask the system administrator first.

All dedicated servers are strongly recommended to be run from another user than root. I recommend that you create a new user that handles all the game servers. You may not have permission to create certain directories mentioned in this document as a normal user, for example <filename>/usr/local/games/quake3</filename>. If so, create it as root and then <literal>chown user:group /usr/local/games/quake</literal>, where user is your username and group your group, or simply create it in your home directory.

Put the script somewhere, name it sv_up or whatever you like, and make cron run it every 5-10 minutes:
|
|
</para>
|
|

|
*/10 * * * * /usr/local/games/quake3/sv_up.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

|
|
<para>
|

Put this in crontab (crontab -e). It will execute sv_up.sh (the shell script above) every 10 minutes and its output is sent to /dev/null (in other words, it disappears instead of being mailed to you).

QuakeWorld is a multiplayer-only version of Quake with optimized network code. id Software released the source code for Quake/QuakeWorld in 1999, spawning a number of projects set out to improve, optimize and add more features to the code and make it more secure. <ulink url="http://www.quakeforge.net">QuakeForge</ulink> is quite well-developed on the client side, but mvdsv (part of the <ulink url="http://qwex.does.it">qwextended</ulink> project) seems to be the most popular server in the QW community. It's famous for its ability to record demos from each player's POV (Point of View) and store them for retrieval by the players.</para>

id Software's old qwsv is quite dated and should not be used (nor <emphasis>can</emphasis> it be used in most cases, since it's built for the ancient libc5). So, use either mvdsv or QuakeForge.

This will <emphasis>at least</emphasis> build qf-server, nq-server (RealQuake) and some client binaries. We don't need the latter; you can choose not to compile them, or simply remove them later. Anyway, if the compilation went fine you should now have a binary called qf-server in <filename>$HOME/quake</filename>, where $HOME is your home directory (usually /home/user).

You might want to rename mdsv or qw-server to qwsv, since that's what I'll call it in the rest of this document. Now create the directory <literal>id1</literal> in the quake directory and copy the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files from your Quake CD or wherever you have them into that directory:

You also need the qw files:

<ulink url="http://www.planetquake.com/servers/arena/">Rocket Arena</ulink> is a very exciting modification. It's one-on-one games with the simple rule "winner stays, loser goes". Each player waits for his/her turn to fight in the arena. Every player gets full armor (200), 100 health and all weapons when they enter the arena. The winner stays to fight again, the loser goes back to the line. Simple? Yes. Boring? Not at all!

|

Q2Admin works with all Q2 mods transparently by filtering communication between the server and the mod it's running on top of.
|
|
I recommend that you install Q2Admin if you're going to run a public server. Download this file:

<para>
|
|
Now you should have a file called <filename>q2admin.so</filename> in the q2admin directory. For each mod you want to protect with Q2Admin, copy the <filename>install</filename> and <filename>q2admin.so</filename> files to each mod directory and optionally the *.txt files if you want to customize the Q2Admin settings for different mods.
|
|
Run install, <literal>./install</literal> (chmod +x install if it's not executable) and start the server as usual. The install script moves gamei386.so to gamei386.real.so and q2admin.so to gamei386.so. Run install again to move the files back to their original names.
|
|
There's a huge number of commands; See <filename>readme.txt</filename> included in the q2admin package for everything you need to know.

You need the HLDS (dedicated server) package to run a Half-Life server:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><ulink url="ftp://3dgamers.in-span.net/pub/3dgamers2/games/halflife/hlds_l_3110_full.bin">ftp://3dgamers.in-span.net/pub/3dgamers2/games/halflife/hlds_l_3110_full.bin</ulink></para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
When you've downloaded the above file, create a directory for HLDS and run the downloaded file (specify $HOME/hlds as the directory to install to, if that's what you want):
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|

<prompt>$</prompt> <command>mkdir hlds</command>

<prompt>$</prompt> <command>sh hlds_l_3110_full.bin</command>

|
|
|
|
<para>
|

Now we want hlds to see its dynamically linked libraries (*.so files). If you're running bash, which you most probably are, run:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|

<prompt>$</prompt> <command>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/hlds:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH</command>

This adds <literal>$HOME/hlds</literal> to the directories ld checks for libraries in.

</sect2>
|

<sect2 id="hlconfiguring">

Now you can start hlds; <literal>./hlds_l</literal> to start a dedicated Half-Life server. It should work with the default settings, so try it:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">

At the end you should see something like this:

<screen>
|
|
WON Auth Server
|
|
. . .
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the 'Auth' is missing it's probably because your server is using an incorrect IP address. Type status in the server console and it will spit out some info.
|
|
If your IP isn't what it should be, quit the server with the exit command and start it again with this command:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>./hlds_l +ip xx.xx.xx.xx +maxplayers 12 +map crossfire</command>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If it doesn't work now, you might be behind a firewall. If that's the case, let's just hope the network admin is friendly - make him open the port(s) you need. 27015 is the default port.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you want to run a modification instead of regular DM or teamplay, pass the -game modname argument to hlds. Example: <literal>./hlds_l -game tfc +maxplayers 12 +map 2fort</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The server reads autoexec.cfg, server.cfg, motd.txt and mapcycle.txt. Edit these to your liking. Autoexec.cfg is only executed when you start the server. Server.cfg is executed at every map change. Motd.txt contains the text that players will see when they join your server; a good idea is to put your server name, homepage (server stats page?) and contact info in it. Mapcycle.txt contains the list of maps you want rotated on your server. Type in all the maps you want there, each on its own line, without the ".bsp" extension.

Min/max rates - The commands <literal>sv_maxrate xxxx</literal> and <literal>sv_minrate xxxx</literal> force clients to use the specified rate.
|
|
This is useful if you, for example, don't want LPB's stealing bandwidth (which makes HPW's annoyed) - type <literal>sv_maxrate 6000</literal> to do this. If you on the other hand want to run a server for LPB's,
|
|
set the minimum rate to something around 9000 with <literal>sv_minrate 9000</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Kicking/Banning - Each player is assigned an userid by the server. Type <literal>users</literal> in the server console to see the players id's. Usually you can kick people simply by typing <literal>kick nick</literal>, but this can be difficult if a client has a long nick or is using strange characters.
|
|
If this is the case, you can kick clients by their id with <literal>kick # </literal>.
|
|
If you want to ban a client, preventing them from coming back to the server, find their uniqueid with the <literal>users</literal> command and then ban with <literal>banid minutes uniqueid</literal>, where minutes is the number of minutes you want to ban the player (0 makes the ban permanent), and uniqueid the player's uniqueid.
|
|
To keep players banned even after restarting the server, type <literal>writeid</literal> before you quit the server, and add <literal>exec banned.cfg</literal> to your server.cfg so that the next time you start your server, it will read the uniqueid's in banned.cfg.
|
|
You can also kick and ban a client at the same time with <literal>banid uniqueid kick</literal>.
|
|
Remove a ban with <literal>removeid id</literal>, and don't forget to remove it from server.cfg if it's there too.

</para>

<para>
|

RCON - RCON lets clients on your server execute server commands remotely. Add the line <literal>rcon_password "password"</literal> to server.cfg. Clients type rcon_password password in the console and can then execute server commands, like rcon kick, rcon mapchange, etc. This is good if you want to deal with abusive players directly when you're playing on the server, or maybe let a few other trustworthy persons do it.
|
|
To use rcon when playing on your server, type <literal>rcon_password password</literal> in the in-game console. You can now execute several commands if the password was correct, but remember that you must add rcon before every command, for example <literal>rcon kick player</literal>.

Unreal Tournament is a very addictive first person shooter which is designed to be run in one of several modes; DeathMatch, Capture the Flag, Last Man Standing and Assault are the most popular. It features bots, a bevy of weapons and plenty of community support. It was originally ported as an in-house development effort at Epic but later releases are handled by

Loki Software. Current version as of this writing is 436.

Mount the Unreal Tournament CD (Usually /cdrom or /mnt/cdrom), and run

|
the ut-install*.run file. It will verify the archive, check the CD for
|
|
the appropriate files, and begin installing. It will ask you where you

want to install UT to, as well as a few other questions. It is actually
|
|
fairly painless.

Now it's time to write a config file. Unreal Tournament uses an INI-style
|
|
config file format which is exactly like Windows INI files. This config
|
|
file will contain ALL the variables the server will use, including game
|
|
types, defaults for those types, number of players, bots, etc. The cfg's
|
|
should be kept in the System/ directory (either <literal>$UTROOT/System/</literal> or
|
|
<literal>~/.loki/ut/System/</literal>). If you have an UnrealTournament.ini and/or User.ini
|
|
in that System/ directory, it will be loaded and can override settings in
|
|
the server's cfg file. This is a sanitized copy of my server's cfg file
|
|
(called ucc.ini):</para>

One of the most interesting aspects of running a UT server is the
|
|
web-server interface for admins. By setting bEnabled to True and
|
|
specifying a ListenPort, you can administer an UnrealTournament server via
|
|
a normal Web Browser.

If you do decide to run the UT Webserver interface (Recommended), the

above values should be set. AdminRealm is less important, but will be

used by your browser to know when to ask for the administrator username

|
and password.

<title>Starting the server</title>
|

|
|
<para>
|
|
To start the Unreal Tournament server, you will need to use the
|
|
command "ucc server" and specify a few things on the command line. These
|
|
being:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>Mapname - Name of the map to start from the Maps/ directory, minus the
|
|
.unr extension.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>Gametype - One of Botpack.DeathMatchPlus, Botpack.Domination,
|
|
Botpack.CTFGame.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>INI - The config file to use to start the server.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>LOG - the log file the server should use.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>Port - (Optional) the port the UT server should use.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Most of this is specified in the config file, but the mapname and Gametype
|
|
are required.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Here is an example:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|
|
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>ucc server "DM-Turbine?game=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus" ini=ucc.ini log=ucc.log</command>
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
I quoted the mapname and gametype because of the presence of the ? (Linux
|
|
shells use that as a wild card) and because a lot of Unreal Tournament
|
|
maps have odd characters in their name (DM-Deck16][ anyone?). I recommend
|
|
they always be quoted.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once the server starts, it will load the settings specified in the
|
|
System/ucc.ini file and load the game.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
I also recommend the server be started with the nohup command and placed
|
|
in the background. All the configuration will take place in the web
|
|
interface.

Notice the UWeb.Webserver and UWeb.so sections? Those are the webserver,
|
|
and since it didn't give any errors, we know it's running.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Now, in the configuration section, you told it what port to listen on:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|
|
[UWeb.WebServer]
|
|
bEnabled=True
|
|
ListenPort=5080
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
So, to connect to the administration server, you would need to browse to
|
|
<literal>http://utserver:5080/ServerAdmin</literal>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The first thing that will happen is that your browser will ask you for
|
|
authentication. Back in the configuration file, we specified that:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen format="linespecific">
|
|
[UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin]
|
|
AdminUsername=utadmin
|
|
AdminPassword=utpasswd
|
|
AdminRealm=UT Remote Admin Server
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
So in this case, you would sign in as utadmin with a password of utpasswd
|
|
(You had better change these before you actually start the server).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once you are authenticated, you are presented with an interface that
|
|
allows you to specify the game type, map, number of bots and connections
|
|
as well as kick and ban users. It's all very point-n-click.
