Linux server

[SkyDiver]

Hello I have a root server in linux debian and I want to open a paintball server...

But first I would like to know how many ram a paintball server takes to have 30 slots.

can I give for example 2G of ram to the server and the server use only that 2G?

were can I download the server to linux debian and there is any toturial to set every thing up..

2 gigs is more than enough.  It probably uses less than 100 megs in most cases.  If you click on the downloads page, you can grab the full linux version there.  Just unzip it.  You can follow the win32 tutorial for setting up a server on the docs page.  It's not ideal, but it should have most of the information you need.  I should really put up a linux tutorial.

How can I run the paintball2? sh does works becouse its not a .sh file but I cant see the type off the file...

by the way how many slots we have with 500M?

You could probably have 100+ slots with 500 MB of RAM.  The problem is there aren't any maps that can support that many players properly.  I would say 32 slots is the max any server should have.  If you want more start a second server.




Here is a .sh script for starting a dp server:




#!/bin/bash

cd /home/user/servers/normal/paintball2

while true
  do
    echo "Starting paintball server"
    ./paintball2 +set dedicated 1 +set port 27910 +set maxclients 20 +exec myserver.cfg +map shock
    sleep 10
  done





Just make sure to change the directory and the name of the config file.

it says permission denied... but im using root...

[SkyDiver]

and I cant find the myserver.cfg

[ViciouZ]

it says permission denied...

Code: [Select]

chmod +x ./paintball

but im using root...

Paintball2 will throw errors if run as root, create a new user for it.

and I cant find the myserver.cfg

That's your custom config file, you should have created/edited it from server.cfg.

[SkyDiver]

It keep saying permission denied...

I've already created an other user...

I've done it!!! Yehhh now how can give only 500M to the server?

You can't.  I can almost guarantee you that your server will never need more than 500M of RAM.  I run 10+ servers on a VPS with only 768MB total RAM.

by the way how can I remove the team kill with granades and the end of the round on cap?

[SkyDiver]

and how can I close the server?

[SkyDiver]

I type exit close end but it does work..

Like I said above you can contact me on IRC for these small questions.  www.SupermansPub.com/chat.html


set flagcapendsround 0                           \\ disables flag cap ending round
set grenadeffire 0                                    \\ disables grenade friendly fire


These commands should be put in the "General" section of the configuration file.
