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/screenrc.quake screen configuration +%%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. |
