well im back!
sorry about not posting before night_hawk
so for a home server on the mac...
i can teach you...
here it is:
download the following things:
1. sauerbratne (SHOULD HAVE ALREADY)
2. port map
3. caffeine
1. start caffeine, and then click it so that your comp will never go to sleep as long as you dont shut the lid
2. start port map and click the plus sign at the bottom left. put 28785 and click udp + tcp so they are checked, and then make a description and add the mapping.
3. repeat step 2 with 28786.
4. if the circles are green your good to go, otherwise sorry you cant host (router necessary) - if they are red then you might just have to wait a little bit, in which case your fine. they just need to eventually turn green
5. make a new text file, call it server.txt, save it in your sauerbraten folder (in the same folder with
**** like autoexec, config, restore, packages folder...)
6. in server.txt type the following lines then save:
startlistenserver 1
maxclients 8 // replace this with the max number of clients you want
serverbotlimit 8 // repalce with max number of bots
publicserver 1 // 1 for auth, 0 for anyone can claim master
serverdesc "My Server Description"
adminpass xy // replace with your admin password
servermotd "Welcome to my server! Have fun - but no mapfuck nor teamkill" // replace with your server message
7. now open sauerbraten and type this without quotes: "/exec server.txt"
8. now do /connect 127.0.0.1, /setmaster 1, /mastermode 2 if you want to connect to your server + have master.
thats it! (for the simple home server)
