how to set up a server using OS X by someone else

[longballlasch]

I don't know how to do can someone send me a step by step process.

First some usefull links:

Basically, use settings_custom.cfg and server_info.cfg. Don't modify the config files directly. It will be a pain to upgrade your server if you do.

Attached is the script I use to manage my server. It is basically the Linux starter scripted hacked up. If the Armagetron Advanced Dedicated directory is at ~/, it will just work. Otherwise you need to tell the script where it is with the DATADIR variable.

Code: Select all

DATADIR="/Applications/Armagetron Advanced Dedicated" armagetronad-manager start

or you can export the variable in your ~/.profile:

Code: Select all

export DATADIR="/Applications/Armagetron Advanced Dedicated"

and use the script like normal:

Code: Select all

armagetronad-manager start

Thats the only variable you may need to change.

Code: Select all

armagetronad-manager --help
Usefull enviroment variables:
  DATADIR         DEFAULT=$HOME/Armagetron Advanced Dedicated
  USERDATADIR     DEFAULT=$HOME/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced Dedicated
  LOGDIR          DEFAULT=$VARDIR/logs
  COMMANDFILE     DEFAULT=$CONFIGDIR/console.txt

Commands:
  start
  stop
  restart
  status
  rotate_logs
