DESCRIPTION

Red Eclipse is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a variety of environments.

redeclipse-server is a script which executes the redeclipse-server binary from the /usr/lib/games/redeclipse directory.

The recommended way to change the settings of the server is to create and edit the file servinit.cfg in your home directory. Examples are available in /usr/share/doc/redeclipse/examples/

OPTIONS

Filesystem options

-h homedir

Sets your home directory to homedir . This is where servinit.cfg is read from, it defaults to $HOME/.redeclipse/ .

-p packagedir

Includes the data files found in packagedir . Can be used for adding additional maps that may be distributed to clients. By default redeclipse-server only includes data files in the working directory /usr/share/games/redeclipse/data and in the subdirecory temp of the home directory.

-o sauerdir

Sets the path to your Sauerbraten directory. If the Red Eclipse server can find your Sauerbraten directory, it will be able to load and distribute maps from it.

-g logfile

Output log to logfile . Path is set relative to homedir unless a leading ´ / ’ is used, uses stdout if -g is given without a parameter. Defaults to stdout.

Server configuration options

-ss {0..3}

Sets server type. 0 for local only, 1 for private, 2 for public, 3 for dedicated. Defaults to 1.

-sk joinpass

Sets the join password to joinpass . Users must know the password before they can connect.

-sP adminpass

Sets the admin password to adminpass .

-sc maxclients

Sets the maximum number of clients to maxclients .

-sl defaultmap

Sets default map to defaultmap .

-x "command 1; command 2; ..."

Executes a list of commands once the Red Eclipse server has started up.

Server connection options

-si serverip

Binds the server to the host address serverip . Only needed for machines with more than one interface.

-sp serverport

sets the server port to serverport .

-sm servermaster

Uses servermaster as the master server, defaults to play.redeclipse.net.

-sa servermasterport

Contacts the master server using port servermasterport , defaults to 28800.

-su serveruprate

Caps upstream rate to serveruprate . Once the cap is hit it will likely cause major connection glitching and disconnects. Use maxclients for bandwitch limiting instead.

Master server options

-ms {0|1}

Enables the server to act as a master server, defaults to 0.

-mi masterip

Binds the master server to the host address masterip . Only needed for machines with more than one interface, defaults to localhost .

-mp masterport

Binds the master server to the host port masterport , defaults to 28800.

General options

-v {0..4}

EXAMPLES

redeclipse-server -p$HOME/mod/data -ss0 -slbath -sPpass

Loads data from an additional directory, sets the server type to local (LAN), sets the default map to "bath" and sets the admin password to "pass"

redeclipse-server -h$HOME/redeclipse-server_configs/

Reads and writes the configuration files to the specified directory instead of $HOME/.redeclipse/ .
