Title: What are the Bare Minimum files I need to keep to run a dedicated linux server
Post by: SlippJigg on August 30, 2008, 12:51:47 AM
I am setting up a linux oa server.  what all files can I erase after unzipping the game?  I only need the files to run the Linux Dedicated Server.
What can I erase?
What do I need to keep.

Thanks

Code:
/usr/local/games/openarena-0.8.0$ ls
baseoa      CREDITS   LINUXNOTES   oa_ded.x86_64   openarena.x86_64
CHANGES      libogg-0.dll   missionpack  old_glibc       README
COPYING      libvorbis-0.dll   oa_ded.exe   openarena.exe   SDL.dll
COPYING.txt  libvorbisfile-3.dll  oa_ded.i386  openarena.i386  WENEED

You can remove :
*.exe
*.dll
old_glibc (if you have this directory, and if you don't have an old glibc version such as the one used on Debian Stable)
*.x86_64 OR *.i386, depends on the architecture you're on
VARIOUS TEXT FILES if they really annoy you.
You could even delete openarena.* if you don't plan to run the game as usual and stick to dedicated servers, but I don't understand well the need to clean it that much.

Do not forget to use the server fix (read other posts) otherwise clients won't be able to connect.
