| == Dedicated Server (Linux) == | | == Dedicated Server (Linux) == |
| === Downloading ===
| | Linux server is unsupported. Valve's version of Source 2007 engine for Linux is too slow to handle any decent amount of players. |
| First of all you need the [http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin HLDS Update Tool]. This is what we use to update/download the server. You will also need Empires Dedicated Server from the [http://empiresmod.com/download.php Empires Download Page].
| |
| | |
| === Installing SDS ===
| |
| Now we have to extract the HLDS-Update-Tool.
| |
| * Go to the homedir of the user who is designated to run the HL2-Server and create a subdir.
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~ # mkdir hl2
| |
| * Copy the HLDS-Update-Tool into your new subdir and chmod it to make it executable:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
| |
| * Run the binary:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # ./hldsupdatetool.bin
| |
| * If you get a warning about not finding "compress", go grab the "[http://ncompress.sourceforge.net/ ncompress]" package on Redhat/Fedora:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # yum install ncompress
| |
| * Now that you have finished extracting the Update-Tool you can use it to download all required files:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # ./steam -command update -game "orangebox" -dir .
| |
| Get yourself a cup of tea, coffee, soda, etc., and have a rest. Depending on your connection speed this can take some time
| |
| | |
| === Installing Empires ===
| |
| Next, we have to extract the previously downloaded Empires-Server.
| |
| * Copy the zip-file (something like empires_v1xxx_server.zip) to the folder where the HLDS-Update-Tool resides (''~/hl2'' in this example) and extract it:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # unzip empires_v1xxx_server.zip -d orangebox
| |
| This command creates the directory ''~hl2/orangebox/empires'' and extracts all needed files into it.
| |
| | |
| === Configuration ===
| |
| Before you can start your new Dedicated Server the servers config files have to be altered to satisfy your needs.
| |
| * cd to the ''"orangebox/empires"'' subdir
| |
| * Edit the file ''mapcycle.txt'' with your prefered text editor and add/remove the maps you like/don't like in your mapcycle
| |
| * cd to the config dir of your Empires installation (''~/hl2/orangebox/empires/cfg'' in this example)
| |
| * Edit the ''server.cfg'' to your liking
| |
| {{Warning|When editing your server.cfg remember to change your '''rcon_password''' and '''hostname''' directives!}}
| |
| rcon_password "pass" //Your rcon password
| |
| hostname "Servername" //The name of your server
| |
| | |
| === Starting ===
| |
| Now your server should be ready for startup
| |
| * cd to your Dedicated-Servers basedir (''~/hl2'' in this example)
| |
| * Start the Server:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # ./srcds_run -game empires +maxplayers 14 -port 27015 -console +map emp_canyon -autoupdate
| |
| {{Tip|Use a terminal multiplexer like [http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ Screen] to be able to detach the HL2-Server Console and disconnect from your servers shell without terminating the HL2-Daemon}}
| |
| * You can create a Bash-File in your Dedicated-Servers basedir to easily start your Empires-Server in a virtual Screen-Terminal:
| |
| {{ Box File|empires.sh|
| |
| <pre>
| |
| #! /bin/bash
| |
| screen -A -d -m -S empires -t empires ./srcds_run -game empires +maxplayers 14 -port 27015 -console +map emp_canyon -autoupdate
| |
| </pre>
| |
| }}
| |
| Please note that if you wish to retain explicit control over when updates happen on your server you can omit the -autoupdate option.
| |
| * Now make the Bash-File executable and run it:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # chmod +x empires.sh
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # ./empires.sh
| |
| The Dedicated-Server now runs in the background. You can attach to the Screen-Terminal by typing:
| |
| hl2usr@hl2srv ~/hl2 # screen -r empires
| |
| | |
| You can detach from the Screen-Terminal and leave the server running by typing a Control-a followed by "d".
| |
| | |
| To stop the server, reattach to the Screen-Terminal and type Control-c.
| |
| | |
| If you intend to run multiple servers then you will need to set a unique value for the port used & the the Screen-Terminal name used via the -port & -S options in the above command.
| |
| | |
| === Monitoring server resources ===
| |
| ==== Bandwidth ====
| |
| For monitor server bandwidth you can use "iftop" which will display bandwidth consumption on a per port/connections basis. NB: This program needs to run as '''root'''.
| |
| | |
| Assuming your running empires on the default 27015 port the follow will filter to show only empires traffic:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| root@hl2srv ~/hl2 # iftop -P -f "port 27015"
| |
| </pre>

| ==== CPU/Disk ====
| |
| For CPU usage you can use top (default installed all linux distros), htop (enhanced 'top') or atop.
| |
| | |
| [http://htop.sourceforge.net/ htop] gives a very good "at-a-glance" showing overall CPU core load, memory usage and the top dozen or so processes.
