DESCRIPTION

Red Eclipse is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a variety of environments.

redeclipse-server is a script which executes the redeclipse-server binary from the /usr/lib/games/redeclipse directory.

The recommended way to change the settings of the server is to create and edit the file servinit.cfg in your home directory. Examples are available in /usr/share/doc/redeclipse/examples/

OPTIONS

Filesystem options

-hhomedir

Sets your home directory to homedir. This is where servinit.cfg is read from, it defaults to $HOME/.redeclipse/.

-ppackagedir

Includes the data files found in packagedir. Can be used for adding additional maps that may be distributed to clients. By default redeclipse-server only includes data files in the working directory /usr/share/games/redeclipse/data and in the subdirecory temp of the home directory.

-osauerdir

Sets the path to your Sauerbraten directory. If the Red Eclipse server can find your Sauerbraten directory, it will be able to load and distribute maps from it.

-glogfile

Output log to logfile. Path is set relative to homedir unless a leading ´/’ is used, uses stdout if -g is given without a parameter. Defaults to stdout.

Server configuration options

-ss{0..3}

Sets server type. 0 for local only, 1 for private, 2 for public, 3 for dedicated. Defaults to 1.

-skjoinpass

Sets the join password to joinpass. Users must know the password before they can connect.

-sPadminpass

Sets the admin password to adminpass.

-scmaxclients

Sets the maximum number of clients to maxclients.

-sldefaultmap

Sets default map to defaultmap.

-x"command 1; command 2; ..."

Executes a list of commands once the Red Eclipse server has started up.

Server connection options

-siserverip

Binds the server to the host address serverip. Only needed for machines with more than one interface.

-spserverport

sets the server port to serverport.

-smservermaster

Uses servermaster as the master server, defaults to play.redeclipse.net.

-saservermasterport

Contacts the master server using port servermasterport, defaults to 28800.

-suserveruprate

Caps upstream rate to serveruprate. Once the cap is hit it will likely cause major connection glitching and disconnects. Use maxclients for bandwitch limiting instead.

Master server options

-ms{0|1}

Enables the server to act as a master server, defaults to 0.

-mimasterip

Binds the master server to the host address masterip. Only needed for machines with more than one interface, defaults to localhost.

-mpmasterport

Binds the master server to the host port masterport, defaults to 28800.

General options

-v{0..4}

Sets verbosity. This affects how much information is printed to the console. 0 is the least verbose, 4 is the most verbose.

EXAMPLES

redeclipse-server -p$HOME/mod/data -ss0 -slbath -sPpass

Loads data from an additional directory, sets the server type to local (LAN), sets the default map to "bath" and sets the admin password to "pass"

redeclipse-server -h$HOME/redeclipse-server_configs/

Reads and writes the configuration files to the specified directory instead of $HOME/.redeclipse/.
