How to make AssaultCube servers...

[Bukz]

• Search the forums, there are plenty of existing threads about creating/maintaining the AC server(s).
• Read the docs, specifically this page, there is a lot of information about it in there as well.
• Read the following pages on our wiki:
  - Server guide
  - Server setup
  - Server requirements
  - Server security
  - Port forwarding
  - Server hints 1.0.4 (updated .pdf)
  

Note: Making a "24/7" server is as simple as making the server, and not closing it or shutting off the machine that is running it. Home run servers are usually not able to be "24/7" for various reasons, therefore most serious server hosters will rent a VPS to host the server(s) on a remote machine.

For help with adding colors to your server(s), check out this handy tool.

Please read and understand the above links and information before requesting support for creating AC servers.

FULL MAC SERVER TUTORIAL (From Port Forwarding to Running)

This thread forwards ports in an Airport. Non-airport users go straight here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/24621937

Setting your static internal IP Address:
1. Go Applications->Utilites->Airport Utility->your device
2. At the top, click Internet->DHCP
3. Find "DHCP Ending Address"
4. One value greater than the value written will be your last digit of your IP address. The first three will remain the same. For example, my airport says 10.0.1.200, so my internal IP address will be set to 10.0.1.201
5. Close Airport Utility and open System Preferences
6. Go to Network and click the lock icon
7. Click "Advanced"
8. Click "TCP/IP"
9. Under "Configure IPv4," select "Using DHCP with a manual address"
10. Enter your new internal IP Address
11. Click "OK" and then "Apply"

Steps #8-10:

5. Do the same for "Public TCP Port(s):" "Private TCP Port(s):" and "Public UDP Port(s):"
6. Enter your internal IP address under "Private IP Address:"
7. Click "Continue"
8. Enter a "Description" that will let you know what these ports are used for (i.e., "AC:28973-28764")
9. Click "Done"
10. Click "Update"
