Running multiple servers on a mac?

[fox_ares]

I was wondering if there is a way to run more then 1 server in a mac.

As long as your connection supports it. You must set new ports (-f) and forward them accordingly.

[fox_ares]

explain...

[OpenSource]

-fPORT Sets the server base port to PORT. An AC server always uses 2 UDP ports: PORT & PORT+1. The default ports are 28763 and 28764. You need to use different ports, if you want to run several servers on the same machine (with one IP address). For example, use -f28765 for a second server.

Remember to open the new ports in your router.

no, fox_ares actually has a point (for once): mac servers are launched via an application. mac only allows you to launch one application of a type at a time, so on mac, you can only allow run one server at a time WITH THE AC APPLICATION. if you can figure out how to launch it via terminal, then you can run as many servers as your connection can hold. i will post a tutorial in the wiki soon.

Er...
Just double click the icon again...
Works perfectly for me!

[fox_ares]

I will try that Reagon, and Merry Christmas to yall! =D

ya that didnt work...

You'll probably have to launch it from the terminal, and none of us know how wahnfred would know.

I have been looking into how to do this, and cocoa has been going over my head.

open /path/to/assaultcube_server.sh (or whatever mac's use for their sh/bat files)

[Faron8]

to open AC in terminal:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

open -a assaultcube.app

the "-a" option will look for the application and open it.

[Ronald_Reagan]

I have gotten a little farther with my muddling

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/1.1/AssaultCube.app/Contents/gamedata/assaultcube.app/Contents/MacOS/assaultcube -d

Basically, you launch the game executable not the package, which Faron suggested. In looking in launcher.m (line 407 & 411) I have found that launching it with switch -d will launch it a server.

error:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

could not read config file 'config/maprot.cfg'

I'll look into more of the code later.

do we forward the same ports...?

to get 2 launchers, you can launch the

[SELECT ALL] Code:

launcher

from terminal in MacOS and another launcher is there, in the advanced options somewhere you can type -fPORT... and launch the server. or you can create a duplicate and just open it, but i don't think that would be even close to working

[OpenSource]

If you dont use -f you need to forward 28763 UDP and 28764 UDP.
If you use -f28555 you need to forward 28555 UDP and 28556 UDP.

Then you have one server using 28763 and 28764 and the other using 28555 and 28556.

[Faron8]

yes, you make 2 launchers, launch the first one, and in the second launcher somewhere in the advanced options u can put:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

-f28555

hehe. guess this was answered before i could edit the wiki xD gg all hahaha

[fox_ares]

Reagon told me how to do it, by duplication ac and then keep opening windows. Thanks Reagon! =D

[Faron8]

thats what i said...
