Battlefield Vietnam Linux server patch v1.21
Quick start
- Run the server installer and follow the instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Please note that if you choose to install the server over an existing installation the existing installation directory will be removed!
Example:
$ sh bfv_linded-x.y.z.run
- Modify mods/bfv/settings/serversettings.con to your taste.
Example:
$ cd /path/to/installation/bfv
$ vi mods/bfv/settings/serversettings.con
- Modify mods/bfv/settings/maplist.con to your taste.
Example:
$ cd /path/to/installation/bfv
$ vi mods/bfv/settings/serversettings.con
IMPORTANT:
Please see the information below to understand the new map list format.
- Run the server from within the top-level directory by typing
./start.sh [arguments] from a shell.
Example:
$ cd /path/to/installation/bfv
$ ./start.sh +statusMonitor 1
NOTE: The statusMonitor is now activated by default (because I'm a lazy sod). To revert back to the old behaviour, remove the offending line in serversettings.con
- If you are starting the server from a remote connection you will need to encapsulate it inside a "screen" session to let it stay behind when you log out from the shell.
Example (to start the server):
$ cd /path/to/installation/bfv
$ screen ./start.sh +statusMonitor 1
Now press Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-D to detach the screen session, leaving it running in the background. You can now log out without affecting the server.
Example (to reconnect to the server status monitor):
$ screen -r
Please see the man page for screen to learn more about what it can do.
