DESCRIPTION¶
The Armagetron Advanced dedicated server runs from an initscript -- to enable
running it on boot, edit
/etc/default/armagetronad-dedicated.
The server program will read default settings from
/etc/armagetronad/settings_dedicated.cfg. Modifications and custom
server settings should be implemented in the file
/etc/armagetronad/settings_custom.cfg.
To edit configuration on-the-fly or make time-sensitive temporary changes, it's
best to log onto the server from the armagetronad client and log on as an
administrator (using the password set in the server configuration). Console
input is not available when running the server as a daemon.
Before each round is started, the file
/etc/armagetronad/everytime.cfg is
read; it may be useful to use this for things like randomly changing maps or
other quickly changing settings.
