Sometimes on e-mail ask how to install and run the server Smokin' Guns. I wrote a little guide on how it's convenient for me. Moreover, where it is more convenient to link to official site than to explain by email. Maybe it will be useful to someone else.

Instructions relevant to the 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
The server will run as user.

Command in the terminal as root:

For 32-64-bit:

Code: Select all

adduser user
su user
cd
wget http://www.smokin-guns.org/downloads/Smokin_Guns_1.1.zip
unzip Smokin_Guns_1.1.zip
rm Smokin_Guns_1.1.zip
mv "Smokin' Guns" sgserver
cd sgserver


For 32-bit:

Code: Select all

mv smokinguns_dedicated.i386 smokinguns_dedicated


For 64-bit:

Code: Select all

wget http://dansh.org/games/smokinguns/smokinguns_dedicated.x86_64.zip
unzip smokinguns_dedicated.x86_64.zip
rm smokinguns_dedicated.x86_64.zip


For 32-64-bit:

Code: Select all

chmod +x smokinguns_dedicated
exit
nano /etc/init.d/sgserver.sh


write to a file /etc/init.d/sgserver.sh:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

RULE="su - user -c"
BIN="/home/user/sgserver/smokinguns_dedicated +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 128 +exec server.cfg >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
PROC="smokinguns_dedicated"

case "$1" in

'start')
 $RULE "$BIN"
 echo "Smokin' Guns server is running..."
;;
'stop')
 killall $PROC
 echo "Smokin' Guns server is stopped..."
;;
*)
 echo "Usage: $0 start|stop"
;;
esac
exit 0


Command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/init.d/sgserver.sh
ln -s /etc/init.d/sgserver.sh /usr/local/bin/sgserver


Edit your /home/user/sgserver/smokinguns/server.cfg

Starting the server from the terminal:

Code: Select all

sgserver start


Stop the server from the terminal:

Code: Select all

sgserver stop

Thank you dansh for this quick tutorial !

I also added a link to here on site server tutorials page to give it more visibility.

Thanks, Tequila. It would be great if users could edit/add articles manual, as in Wiki.

This is just a matter of rights. And we will give rights to anyone requesting it !

I need to take time to clarify that soon

Thanks for the quick setup guide, it was very useful.
I thought I would add that if you should get any error message from Debian (or Debian derivatives like Ubuntu) when running subsequent apt-get commands along the lines of:

Code: Select all

insserv: warning: script 'sgserver.sh' missing LSB tags and overrides

then you might want to use the following script tweaked for LSBinit compatability:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          sgserver
# Required-Start:   
# Required-Stop:     
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start/stop Smokin'Guns server
### END INIT INFO

RULE="su - user -c"
BIN="/home/user/sgserver/smokinguns_dedicated +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +set com_hunkmegs 128 +exec server.cfg >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
PROC="smokinguns_dedicated"

case "$1" in

'start')
 $RULE "$BIN"
 echo "Smokin' Guns server is running..."
;;
'stop')
 killall $PROC
 echo "Smokin' Guns server is stopped..."
;;
*)
 echo "Usage: $0 start|stop"
;;
esac
exit 0

Cheers

Hi Dansh: I've built a 64-bit server recently and I went to grab the 64-bit server updates you posted above and the link is dead. Any chance you can make them available somewhere please?

On a similar and probably related topic, your PPA has been down for ages. Are you still intending to maintain this for smokin' guns?
Cheers.
