There's not much too it, just a few days ago I wanted to start a server, and I ended up writing this up to make it easier. not everyone is looking forward to typing ./bin_unix/native_server -n"Ultimate Server" -p"I like pie" -c8. yeah I know, just press the up arrow several times and use the version in the history. As far as I know, everyone even running a server probably already created one of these for themselves.
I'm not saying mine's the best, but it's written by a newbie for a newbie. I've made it 'easy' to configure so to speak.
below is the part of the script where the user would define a few variables
#SAUER_DIR, should be .
SAUER_DIR=.
#SAUER_PASS, just set a password for admin, if it contains spaces, place it in "" eg "hack me"
SAUER_PASS="hack me"
#SAUER_CLIENT, set the maximum number clients eg "4"
SAUER_CLIENT=8
#SAUER_NAME, the name of your server in the server GUI
SAUER_NAME="Sauerbraten Server"
#SAUER_SERVER, eg linux, native, the prefix of the executable.
SAUER_SERVER=linux
just a few notes, the script it meant to be installed in the / of the sauer directory, and it will actually check the root first, before the bin_unix folder for the executable. if it's not installed in the / dir, it's still easy enough to point it to the right location.
other than that, download it, configure it, use it, and own me in a game.... or twenty =-p
enjoy
