Glad to see others are using this. A COD2 server from dvd in a dual cdrom/dvd machine can be turned on to server running in under 10 minutes, with the script I wrote. COD & CODUO would take about an 1/2 to 1 hour depending on machine speed in copying both disks for each to the hard drive.

I am usally in the Dread CODUO server & I play under 300c_pilot. Hope to see you around, if you post the IP of your server I will check it out for you.

Smooth Flights...:)

Relatively easy.
Clean frugal install. then used winSCP to ssh a folder to the server, which I had prepared previously with all the .pk3 files, localization.txt (all from the CDs) , dedicated.cfg (I wrote) and the CODLinux server.(G@@gled it)

Only tested it with 3 players so far and it worked fine (We could vote map changes and gametype changes without any probs)

Apparently Tribes 2 use to run on linux with a bit of whining (wine). Has anyone here had any success with it? I love that game to bits, and yes with a good kick up the arse and some hand holding I'll try and run it from DSL.

----------------
(3) INSTALLATION
----------------

This dedicated server installation requires the Windows CD.
If you have already installed the Linux client, you already have the
dedicated server as well, and you don't need to install this package.

1. Mount the Windows Tribes 2 CD
  If for some reason the CD detection code doesn't work, set the
  environment variable "SETUP_CDROM" to the path where the Windows
  Tribes 2 CD is mounted.

2. Run the archive file to extract it and start the installer:

sh tribes2d-wincd.run

  If the checksum verification fails, make sure you downloaded the
  file in binary mode and that the download wasn't corrupted.

  If you haven't already installed the Loki Update Tool or Loki Uninstall
  Tool, the installer will prompt you to install these before installing
  the main product.

  Once the installation is complete, the update tool will be run to
  ensure that you have the latest updates to the game.  No information
  about you is sent to the server during this process, and this does
  not register your product.


-----------------------
(4) STARTING THE SERVER
-----------------------

The Linux version of the game includes a dedicated server which does not
require you to log in or even use a graphical display.  The binary is called
"tribes2d" and resides in your TRIBES 2 installation directory.  To run the
standalone dedicated server, pass it the "-dedicated" command line option,
followed by the name of the first map, and the type of game to run.

For example, to start a game of Capture The Flag on the Katabatic map, you
would do the following:

Log in as the user you created to run Tribes 2
cd /path/to/installed/game
./tribes2d -dedicated Katabatic CTF

The first time the dedicated server runs, it will create the directory
~/.loki/tribes2 and place default configuration files there.  You can
customize the advanced server settings by editing the file
~/.loki/tribes2/base/prefs/ServerPrefs.cs

You can specify the number of bots to run on the command line by using
the -bot N command line option.

For example, to use the default map and game type with 10 bots, you
would do the following:

cd /path/to/installed/game
./tribes2d -dedicated -bot 10

If for some reason the server is crashing frequently, you can use the
script "tribes2d-restart.sh" to automatically restart the dedicated
server.  This script will also look for updates on the internet when
it starts, to keep your server up to date.


This apprears to be a stand alone server...thus you dont need to wine it...give it a whirl and let us know how it goes for ya...

Maybe that will help ya

So far there has been over 400 downloads of my little scripts, wish I had made them prettier. I also wish people would send some feed back on the scripts.???
