Title: oa ded server in ubuntu with no gui mode. Post by: Killer1985 on April 23, 2012, 04:33:16 PM hi guys,
is it possible to start oa ded server in ubuntu with no gui mode? (without Xorg installed) Title: Re: oa ded server in ubuntu with no gui mode. Post by: hemite on April 23, 2012, 04:49:37 PM Yes in fact I'm doing it right now.
All you really need to call is: cd /usr/bin/ ./openarena-server +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg \ I have a shell script which basically starts openarena in screen. That way I don't have to be logged on for the server to still be alive. I am running arch linux on a headless server. This is my script: 1 #!/bin/bash 2 3 OAEXEC=/usr/bin/openarena-server 4 SNAME=OASRV_ 5 6 case $1 in 7 start) 8 screen -S $SNAME -d -m $OAEXEC \ 9 +set dedicated 2 \ 10 +set net_port 27961 \ 11 +exec server.cfg \ 12 # +exec maps.cfg \ 13 # +set fs_game brights 14 ;; 15 stop) screen -X -S $SNAME quit;; 16 *) echo "usage: OAServer (start|stop)";; 17 esac If you want some more information I can tell you my whole process (and some useful tools), but if you already know what you're doing I don't want to waste your time. I would just recommend creating a couple of automation shell scripts for starting the server nicely and with specific configs. I would also recommend putting all your maps and mods in a folder in ~ called .openarena This way you can migrate your server if the worst happens.

I tried "openarena-server +set dedicated 2 +exec server.cfg" and it works. Best regards, Kill |
