Topic: We need updated server creation info!

Like the title says, the current guide to creating a server is outdated. Not only that though, but I have always found it insufficient to starting a server in the first place.

Don't just tell us to make a .cfg, tell us WHERE to make it.

Don't just tell us to "Start the server by running "teeworlds_srv -f my_server_config.cfg", tell us HOW to start it. Do I copy the application and rename it, then run? Do I go to Start -> Run and type it in there? Do I open a command prompt and type it there? What about Mac and Linux users? I'm sure they have to do it differently.

I used to get by with changing the default.cfg and running my LAN server from that, and I could still do the same thing with the settings.cfg instead, BUT I want to tune my LAN server to change some of the laser settings for extra fun, but when I change tuning properties I can run the server once, then when I close it the settings.cfg automatically erases the tuned settings, and I have to type them all in again. sad Also I'd like to be able to turn off the flashing warning about a tuned server - that thing is annoying!

We need all of the listed commands in the guide to be updated to how they are now. Some no longer use equal signs. Some have had their names completely changed. Some were probably even removed completely?

Please, lets get a complete and up-to-date guide set up!

Re: We need updated server creation info!

Hi..

setting up a Tee worlds server on Mac is easy...

Here is a .cfg file and here is a file for meny commands:
http://www.2shared.com/file/4333551/9db … stuff.html


All you need to do is to go in to Terminal and fand your way to the teeworlds_srv file and ten type in -f (name to the .cfg file + .cfg) and den hit enter/return

and if you want to start the server on just kliking on a file ( like the teeworlds_srv file )  then you need to open the  teeworlds_srv file in TextEdit and erase all the txt there and type in the same thing that you did in terminal...

Re: We need updated server creation info!

I fully understand that you think the docs might be useless. When I wrote these docs they were for the more advanced community, that was the ones that were able to host the servers. The goal with the docs were to provide a page where all the commands and such were saved to help the configuration and tuning of servers.

The problem with writing OS-specific stuff is that there are so many OS to write about that I didn't have time to write. Since I'm almost only using Windows (and a bit Linux, no Mac) I myself wont be able to write complete guides to all OS. Of course we accept guides from you when the new docs are released.

Yes, you read right tongue

I'm currently working on a complete rewrite of the docs with more images, better descriptions and a FAQ-page that contain ALL the faqs from all the sections, instead of spread out. I really hope to be able to release the new one asap, but I'm pretty sure before 0.5 will be impossible.

Until, you'll have to suffer with these docs; there are some really good forum guides to use.

I hope you're satisfied with these answers.
