# Start a headless MegaGlest game server (and keep it running)
#
# Using this script, a headless game server is started, waiting for players to
# connect (if your firewall configuration permits). Players connect and start a
# game. As soon as the game ends, the server will quit, and this script will
# start up a new server immidiately. This is a stability measure to rule out
# the unlikely case where side effects (such as memory leaks or corruption)
# could drain on system resources.
#
# For this to work, Internet originated traffic must be able to reach the
# server on the following ports:
# TCP port 61357: game protocol port
# TCP port 61358: FTP control port
# TCP ports 61359 to 61366: FTP data ports
#
# Once publishing to the master server succeeded (this can be verified at
# <http://master.megaglest.org>) you may connect to your headless game server
# using a copy of MegaGlest you have installed on a Desktop computer. The first
# user connecting to a headless server controls it. If this user disconnects,
# the next user who connects (or had already connected) takes control.
#
# Please read http://wiki.megaglest.org/Dedicated_Server for more information
#
# Install location
DIR_GAME=~/megaglest
# Log file location (beware, this can grow large)
#LOG_SERVER=/dev/null
LOG_SERVER=~/.megaglest/server.log
