How to setup a Server on Linux ???

[Hassan Bin Fahim]

Hey,

Me and my friends want to play assault cube against each other in a private server. How do I set up a server in Linux mint/Ubuntu ? I can't understand anything form the Wiki or document :(

Please please please Help !

If I'm not mistaken, you should have a file called server_wizard in your Assaultcube directory. Use it to make your server (follow it's instructions carefully), run the server file that was created for you (it should appear in that same directory), and make sure your firewall allows that port through (typically 28763 is the port, however you can change it. make sure to adjust your firewall properly).
I don't know if the server_wizard lets you set admin passes; if it does, great! If not, we can help with that too, but it takes a bit more than the wizard was designed for.

I can't seem to find my Assaultcube directory :(
I installed Assultcube via linux package manager. I'm a bit new to linux as well :(
Could you please tell me where it is ?
Thanks for your help :)

Ok I've found the Assultcube directory :)
There is no server wizard file :(

I've been able to setup a server but it can't connect to the Master Server.
Can we play via Custom Connect without my server being connected to the master server ?

Yes. However, if your server can't connect to the master, that usually means you didn't forward the ports on your router/modem correctly. You need to do that, otherwise no one outside your LAN will be able to connect.

Thats a outdated version. 1.0.4 i think.
You need to get the correct version at http://assault.cubers.net/download.html
1.1.0.4

I don't think he wants people outside his LAN to connect, from what it sounds like.

Edit: Sorry tempest, I reread that and now I understand what he wants to do.
