armagetronad-dedicated - an Armagetron Advanced dedicated game server
Contents
Description
The Armagetron Advanced dedicated server runs from an initscript -- to enable running it on boot, edit
/etc/default/armagetronad-dedicated.
The server program will read default settings from /etc/armagetronad/settings_dedicated.cfg.
Modifications and custom server settings should be implemented in the file
/etc/armagetronad/settings_custom.cfg.
To edit configuration on-the-fly or make time-sensitive temporary changes, it's best to log onto the
server from the armagetronad client and log on as an administrator (using the password set in the server
configuration). Console input is not available when running the server as a daemon.
Before each round is started, the file /etc/armagetronad/everytime.cfg is read; it may be useful to use
this for things like randomly changing maps or other quickly changing settings.
