Hi Roo,

What do you mean by "my old way of hosting a dedicated server will not work"? What happens when you try to run one?

Well many years ago Dash gave me a script for hosting that
creates a null space to run the game from - ensuring maximum security.
He explained that even if someone hacked in thru the game they would find
and acct not associated with the actual user acct etc

Was a very efficient way to host and worked well on Ubuntu 4-5 and 6
Now when I run it in the Terminal the response is

:bad variable nameRY_PATH

I will send you the script in a PM

When I try to run an original TT dedicated script the terminal blinks out.
As in.....disappears
But can run in "Create"
Most very odd.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
GAME_HOME_PATH='/home/patrick/ThinkTanks'
echo "Inserting lib directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
${GAME_HOME_PATH}/lib"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GAME_HOME_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./ThinkTanks.bin -dedicated -nohomedir -console -Mission GREEN -game TB 
This is what I have and use for my servers. ubuntu 11.04. Its the same script dash gave me long long ago. Works just fine for me.
