Default Re: Linux Admining

Not much reaction to the fancy stuff. Maybe I shoud move the other direction...

Here is the simplest way to start a game in linux text mode so that you can be the server....

dom3 -STq
(take note that is a Q as in quick, not a G like in game)
it will ask you what port to use..
it will ask you to name the game..
it will ask you what era the game should be for
it will then wait for people to join and tell you each time someone does

When one of the players hits the "start game" then it will stop to show you a list of all the maps on your machine numbered, then ask you to type in the number of the map you want to use.

What it will NOT do is tell the machine to keep running the game in the background if you hang up your connection. I will cover that next.
