Help setting up a server
Hi
I run a VPS server for my business and I allow a clan [MOG] Mature Old Gamers (I am 54) to run a few games on it..well..6 actually, I do this absolutely free of charge, as, all I want to do is game without being hounded/hassled by kids..no probs..each to their own. My problem is this..it says..... IMPORTANT: You must have a BF2 dedicated server running on the IP/port in your application. If no server is detected, the application cannot be processed and will be deleted. BUT HOW....you cannot install the server files without a license, yet you need a running server to get a license????? Please tell me HOW? |

Re: Help setting up a server
You need to use --target to the install line followed by a location owned by your user.
So if your user is bf2 and his home directory is /home/bf2 then you need to do this. ./bf2-linuxded-1.5.3153.0-installer.sh --target /home/bf2/tmp This will extract the files to that tmp directory and install for you. |

Re: Help setting up a server
Start all over.
Code:
$ sudo useradd bf2 Code:
$ mkdir /home/bf2 Code:
$ chown -R bf2 /home/bf2 Code:
$ passwd bf2 Code:
$ su bf2 Code:
$ cd /home/bf2 Code:
$ wget http://sitewhereyouget.it/bf2-linuxded-1.5.3153.0-installer.sh Code:
$ chmod u+x bf2-linuxded-1.5.3153.0-installer.sh Code:
$ ./bf2-linuxded-1.5.3153.0-installer.sh Code:
nano -w mods/bf2/settings/serversettings.con Code:
sv.serverName "Old Farts With Gunz" sv.password "" sv.internet 1 // dont forget to set that to 1 sv.serverIP "123.456.789.012" // your server IP adress sv.serverPort 16567 sv.welcomeMessage "Welcome| We drink beer'n fart a lot // | is used for a line break sv.punkBuster 1 // but for private server Id use 0 sv.maxPlayers 32 // the maxplayer count sv.numPlayersNeededToStart 1 Code:
nano -w mods/bf2/settings/maplist.con Code:
$ ./start.sh You can detach console by CTRL+A or CTRL+D and reconnect to it with screen -r If you can connect to it and play congratulations you got it set. For the more in depth info see here. Note that linked tutorial is for 1.41 version and some settings do not match. Leave it for later. You will be granted server admin section access where you can see complete guide to installing and configuring PR server including BF2 and whatnot. Also you must add your server to gametracker for the application to pass. Parts of this post contain material from BD linux server tutorial. I hope he wont be too mad |
