In Ubuntu, there's a file called "rc.local" which you put your commands into so that when the computer is turned on, it runs the script in rc.local. However, I'm not a huge expert on it and there doesn't seem to be much of a guide out there for it.
Currently, I've found this so far and the links are broken. I'm assuming that either the IP address changed and/or just took the entire server down. (Anybody have those start scripts downloaded before in 2012? If you did, please post them here!)
I found that guy's GitHub here but it seems like he didn't upload his start script work for it. Pretty much the same story here which is a German TW community site (anybody on that site downloaded or talked about it?).
I found this guide in which I don't understand some parts probably because of Ubuntu updates and I'm not familiar with older versions of Ubuntu. I have no idea what changing Default-Start to 2 3 5 does, because it's just information for people to see, not really a functional thing.
Anybody familiar with a Teeworlds player with an alias "Stas" perhaps?
