help with linux server?
« on: July 18, 2011, 07:46:32 PM »
I know its been a while since I have been on here.

Currently I am an server admin for a clan that has a dedicated linux box and I am interested in hosting a mm8bdm server on it. However I done it on a windows machine long ago and I no longer have those files or remember the details. I did find some guides to running a standard skulltag server on linux, I just don't know how to do the mm8bdm details in.  Also I remember back in the day I used internet doom explorer to make the files and server config need to run the server, I figured I can modify those to get those working on linux.

Also on the server we are running a "screens" application so that we can deal with servers via ssh.

How do I create a mm8bdm server for linux using what I have got right now?

I also found these links to help me.

You can host a server with just the client using Wine.

Considering the setup and my experince with the windows version. I don't think that is feasible.

As a Linux user I say that Wine even if I have not tested it with the launcher it looks like it will crash or lag so much that you can't administrate correctly. I'd suggest you to host it with doomseeker

After reading through a bunch of stuff I have come up with this:

I would have to intall the skulltag binaries, and make a startup script like this:

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/skulltag/st
   /home/user/skulltag/st/skulltag-server -host
   +duel 1
   -port 10666
   -iwad "/home/user/skulltag/st/megagame.wad"
      -file "/home/user/skulltag/st/megagame.wad"  "/home/user/skulltag/st/mm8bdm-v2b.pk3"
   +exec /home/user/skulltag/cfg/mm8bdm.cfg

Does that look right? keep in mind I am using a screens program so I can run multiple servers on this box.

The current version of mm8bdm is 2b, not 2a.

I modified your code and it works now, at least for me. I insist, use doomseeker

So far everything looks good as far as the code.

However looks we don't have all the linux binaries to get everything. As of now we just have everythign that is in st-v098d_linux-x86_64.tar and st-v098d_linux-base.tar

You mean that you don't have the files to boot skulltag?

If so, type in the terminal (first go to your folder with it) ldd skulltag | grep "not found"

You have to install the programs that contain the libraries. You can get libfmodex from here, that's the only file i can help you with

I would need to see what distribution you are using so I can search in better detail. If you are using a debian-based linux I suggest synaptic for most of the packages, then use google for the rest of them
