I checked PTT's Dedicated Servers tutorial, and it says nothing about Linux. I run Ubuntu 5.10, and I need help on setting up a dedicated server. Could someone like Rooster or Racer please help me? This is for Survivor.

Well, would you look at this!

Our friend, SuperSizeMe, has Ubuntu 5.10 too! :)

Easiest way to start a dedicated server in Linux.
1. Goto file:/home/djwings/ThinkTanks/dedicated_shortcuts/1.LUSH/TeamScrum copy any of those scripts like TT1_1.
2. Place that script in your file:/home/djwings/ThinkTanks folder
3. Right click to edit (use gedit or kate) delete all info insert this
#!/bin/bash
GAME_HOME_PATH='/home/djwings/ThinkTanks'
echo "Inserting lib directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
${GAME_HOME_PATH}/lib"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GAME_HOME_PATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./ThinkTanks.bin -dedicated -nohomedir -console -mission game/data/missions/survivor.mis -game TS $*

6. The "game/data/missions/survivor -game TS $*" at the end designates what.mis and game (TS). If you would like to cycle just replace the "game/data/missions/survivor.mis" with GREEN, RED or BLUE.
7. Bring up a terminal and cd into the file ( cd /home/djwings/ThinkTanks) the just type sh TT1_1.sh and away you go.

To edit your server pref.cs
1. Goto /home/djwings/.bravetree/thinktanks/game/server the./bravetree means it a hidden file so in your home folder you have to make you can view hidden files.
2. Cut the prefs.cs file and paste into /home/djwings/ThinkTanks/game/server
3. Right click and edit.

Hope that helps.

Way to go!
