Topic: Sponsored Server

Maybe I'll get a sponsored Server. It will work on a root server. How can I change maps, set a password or change the game mode, when the server is on a root, which I can't use for anything else because it isn't mine. I don't have a remote control. Is a server able to be controled only ingame with commands?

Re: Sponsored Server

@Captaw. A "root" server is a server which is able to execute binaries.

@ topic starter U are able to use the ingame remote controle. Its the easiest way Atm

Re: Sponsored Server

"F2" is for remote console (rcon)

btw: i have to get a new root server for my "GSG" server .. you know.. the flyrace ones;)
why a new one... ? i get some problems with my old host.. and so i have to get a new server from ovh.de or strato.de ... maybe i can host a server for you wink

Re: Sponsored Server

Option 1. You´r granted User-Shell access / you got no more problems - you can change stuff.

Option 2. You dont get shell but FTP to /maps and /.teeworlds
2.1 You can upload all needed maps trough FTP /maps and change default config by uploading it to /.teeworlds however you cannot run modded servers if you are not granted shell access to compile code in /teeworld-X

Best thing to do is this:

Put a restart.sh at /teeworlds location and insert

# restart.sh file
ulimit -n 1000000
while :
do
nice -n 5 ./teeworlds_srv
sleep 5
done

Start with screen -d -m ./restart.sh
If you experience lags root hast to renice -5 PID of your TW server

Now you can play with configs on your server trough F2 Rcon console and if you got problems just 'shutdown' (rcon command) the server and it will be online again 5sec lader

If you got problems with this: 145 00 77 88 (ger too or eng or dk or whatever)
But dont ask me if you got just some idiotic question google can easily handle.

Re: Sponsored Server

catpaw, calm down and just don't join that server again, cursing on the forums wont help anyone. Just ignore those servers and/or users and happily play on the other ~230 servers out there wink
