TeeWorlds is a free and open-source online multiplayer shooter game. In this tutorial, I'm going to explain how to create a TeeWorlds server. These steps were written for Debian (Ubuntu), but will most likely work on other Linux distros too.
Setting up TeeWorlds
Download the TeeWorlds package to your server. You may check for newer releases on the official site.
If you are using x86_64:
wget https://downloads.teeworlds.com/teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64.tar.gz
If you are using x86:
wget https://downloads.teeworlds.com/teeworlds-0.6.2-linux_x86.tar.gz
Extract the server software.
tar xfv <package-name>.tar.gz
cd <extract folder>
chmod +x teeworlds_srv
Create a configuration file for your TeeWorlds server.
nano ./config.cfg
Here is a template that you can use:
sv_name My TeeWorlds Server
sv_port 8303
sv_max_clients 16
sv_map ctf2
sv_rcon_password MyPass
sv_scorelimit 500
sv_timelimit 60
sv_gametype ctf
sv_motd MOTD here.
- You can find more about configuration on the TeeWorlds Docs.
Next, install the screen
utility. You must use screen
to keep your TeeWorlds server running after disconnecting from your Aklweb host VPS.
apt-get install screen
Finally, start your server.
screen ./teeworlds_srv -f config.cfg
Conclusion
Now you have installed TeeWorlds on your VPS. You will be able to connect to it on port 8303 using the TeeWorlds game client. Enjoy!
