Yes, you just use the same techniques as you would with a dedicated server. Write your configuration into autoexec.cfg or settings_custom.cfg.

Right click the game application > Show Package Contents, then put an autoexec.cfg file with your settings in Contents/Resources/config.
You can also put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced/config/ and that will be available to all users/executables.

you really should do dedicated. i have done it on a mac, it aint that hard.
download the mac os x dedicated package from http://armagetronad.net/downloads.php
it will be either a zip or a folder, i cant remember.
unzip it if its a zip.
open the terminal utility (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
type "cd " in the terminal (without the quotation marks, dont forget the space!!)
drag the folder onto the terminal (the folder icon)
press <Return>
open the folder and drag the little black icon onto the terminal
press <Return>

presto! you got a server. in the folder, open config, then open settings_dedicated.cfg (ignore the part about not editing, go wild!)

i know how to do dedicated, but i have 2 problems....

1. i can't get to download site, it's been blocked......

so i copied the direct link to the download and e-mailed it to my self at the mac comp.

2. i don't have enough 'privileges' to access/open the dedicated program......

otherwise i've already tried using the dedicated server, it works fine from home(windows) but i can't port forward(don't want to...)

if you know a way i can get around schools blocks, then please tell me:P

here is how to access it, it will let you setup the server after you do this.

do you know what the terminal utility is? get it in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
(1)type "chmod 777 " into it (without the quotes, dont forget the space at the end)
(2)find the dedicated package, and drag its folder into the terminal.
(3)press enter.
(4)press the <Up> arrow key.
(5)type /* after what you see
(6)press enter.
(7)repeat steps 4 through 6 untill it says "file not found" or something

then setup the server

doing that will give all access to the armagetronad-dedicated stuff. chmod stands for "change mode" in lazytypistese. doing chmod 777 /file makes it so that everyone can read, write, and execute /file. (in your case, the armagetronad-dedicated things)
