README for Quake Server port ---------------------------- NOTE: For those who used my old port of quakeserver (v1.01), this is radically different. It now uses the BSD/OS unix dedicated binary, which eliminates the need for the Linux emulation and improves stability. This port, as installed, contains the following directory structure %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/readme.port this file %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/readme.unixded unix server readme %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/qserver.sh shell script to run the server %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/unixded server binary %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/quakeserver.log server logfile %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/quakeserver.in server console named pipe %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/id1/pak0.pak quake shareware datafile This will run a shareware Quake server on UDP port 26000, binding to all addresses on the machine. For server options, read the readme.unixded file and look at the suggestions in qserver.sh. The startup procedure for the server is: %%PREFIX%%/etc/rc.d/quakeserver.sh runs the server as user 'nobody'. Input is redirected from the named pipe %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/quakeserver.in and output is redirected to %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/quakeserver.log. You can see the output of the console by viewing quakeserver.log, and feed commands to the server by echoing them into quakeserver.in. NOTE THAT THIS COULD REPRESENT A SECURITY RISK ON MACHINES RUNNING WEB SERVERS AS USER 'nobody'. If your system does this, please create an alternate pseudo-user to run the server as. One of the frequently asked questions about this port is how to run a registered server. It's pretty simple. If you want to run just a shareware server, copy the files from the ID1/ subdirectory of an installed copy of Quake into %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/id1/. Remember to make all filenames lowercase. If you want to run a shareware and registered server in tandem, you will need to have a machine with multiple IP addresses (using aliasing or other methods). Copy the files from the ID1/ subdirectory to a new directory under %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/ (such as reg/), and run two servers. Presuming that your machine has two addresses 10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11, the lines to launch the server would be : %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/unixded -ip 10.10.10.10 %%PREFIX%%/quakeserver/unixded -ip 10.10.10.11 -game reg Which would give you a shareware game on 10.10.10.10 and a registered game on 10.10.10.11. -- j.
