Server Help

Hi,

I don't know how to get started, and the readme/guide doesn't help at all.
I'm using the linux version and I plan to run it on my ssh server.

Thanks,
Dvon

In general, you can try looking through the ASSS wiki (wiki.minegoboom.com) for questions about ASSS.

Try this one to start up your server:

Ah, thanks.
But where do i specify where the .lvz files are, and where do they go??

in the settings for each arena (misc:levelfiles) just like on subgame. Put them in the same directory as the maps (maps/)

Just a side-note.

What do you mean by letting it run on your SSH server?
You want to leave a terminal open with ASSS running in it?
You should let it fork into background, unless you're debugging.

SSH clients should, on "public" servers (systems which have the SSHd reachable from the internet), be disconnected by the SSHd after a timeout of several minutes for security.
On the other hand, if your SSH client connection dies, the ASSS server dies with it too.

Like, openning up putty and running the command with a ./ so it'll stay on when my putty terminal is closed.

I'll be ok security wise, I already run a lot of servers.

And that works, thanks.

But how would I convert my old subgame arena config files into asss arena config files?

Thanks,
Dvon

No .cfg to .conf conversion is required, just rename to arena.conf and add General:Map=... at the top. Explody's 'convertor' just splits your .cfg into lots of files. My 'convertor' scans the .cfg and adds the extra settings to make it behave the same as subgame (flag/ball spawns, attach modules).

Works great on my Windows ASSS server, though not on mt Linux through SSH.
I try to run it, though I get this error:

Run it using ./bin/asss, don't run it from the bin directory.

Ah, well it goes a bit further now, but still crashes.

Your linux box doesn't have python 2.3 installed in the standard location. That's not a big loss, though, since most python modules don't require that all of python be installed. Try commenting out "<py> exec" from modules.conf.

Well, I don't even have python on my linux box. Any way to get rid of the python features completely with asss?

Comment out pymod and the python modules.
