Hosting Teeworlds on Ubuntu [solved]

In witch folder are you when you try to execute teeworlds_srv ? (you should write "cd <TEEWORLDSDIR>" before)

How did you installed teeworlds ? from binaries, or you tried to compile the whole thing yourself ?

Why are you using an old version of teeworlds ?

Have you check if ./teeworlds_srv exists and if the file is executable ?

Thank you very much for your replies.

We're a social center, and want to try to have elderly people play some games, including teeworlds... But it's a struggle

I was manually in the directory...

I tried typing cd /usr/share/games/teeworlds/
(where there's the data for the game, as well as a server_default.cfg file)
and then both ./teeworlds_srv -f server_default.cfg and teeworlds_srv -f server_default.cfg
Same answers as before: No such file, and no such command

Then I tried cd /usr/games/
(In which there's the executable file, as well as a duplicate server_default), and did the same things, with the same results.

I installed Teeworlds through
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/teeworlds/
which was the link given on the teeworlds official page

I don't know how to install version 0.6.3

How to check this?
If I type both this and teeworlds_srv in the terminal, it says the same things as before: no such file, and no such command.
If I type this in the research field, I have nothing (I have a result for just teeworlds, but that's to connect to an existing game, right?)
If I check my system files, I find the teeworlds executable in /usr/games and the data in /usr/share/games/teeworlds/. If there's another teeworlds exec somewhere else, I don't know about it, nor have I found it.

impossible to find the teeworlds.cfg paquet
impossible to find the paquet corresponding to the rationnal expression "teeworlds.cfg"

Reading this, I did an internet search, and tried
apt-get install teeworlds-server
It installed teeworlds-server 0.6.2+dfsg-2~build0.14.04.1, and created a teeworlds-server exec file in /usr/games
Yet, nothing happens when I click on it, nor do the commands as above work (same results)

I found this http://nathguil.free.fr/nikola/lef2014/teeworlds.cfg
but I don't know what to make of it, if it helps or whatever.

First, remove teeworlds:

sudo apt-get remove teeworlds*

Then, download and extract the last version of teeworlds

wget https://downloads.teeworlds.com/teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ./teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64.tar.gz
rm teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64.tar.gz

Now, just go in the folder "teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64" and start the server:

cd teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64
./teeworlds_srv

Good luck with your project

Apparently, you already run a program that use the port "8303". I think a programm already use this port. To check that, try this command (I don't know what does -tulpn, I've found it on internet) :

sudo netstat -tulpn | grep ":8303 "

The terminal should print something like that:

tcp        0      0 127.0.1.1:8303            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      <PROGRAM>
udp        0      0 127.0.1.1:8303            0.0.0.0:*                            <PROGRAM>   

If the port is really already in use, you must tell the server to use a different port. Create the file "autoexec.cfg" with the following content:

sv_name <NAME OF YOUR SERVER>
sv_port 10500

Then start again the server with "./teeworlds_srv". The error with autoexec.cfg should be gone as well as the error about the port. If not, change the port 10500 to something else.

For sure, it's not normal It's like teeworlds can't access to internet. If you want to create a server only in LAN, it's fine, but otherwise, you should fix that. The first question is about firewall. There is one that could block teeworlds ? Can you access to the server list in the client ? (I don't know if you use a server or a desktop)

What do you mean exactly ? the option "-tulnp" produce errors ? Which ones ?

It seems that it's the case. Did you kill previous the processes with Ctrl+C ?

Can you do the same when the server is started ? Change the port in the CFG file in case that you still get the same error.

if the clients will be connecting over LAN, set sv_register 0 in the config to stop it from trying to contact the master servers
