How to Make Your Own Insurgency Dedicated Linux Server

103 15
The first thing we must do is download and install steam.
To do this we have to use the wget command and download the app from the steam store.
As root issue the following commands.
cd /usr/local/games mkdir hlds wget hxxp://storefront.
steampowered.
com/download/hldsupdatetool.
bin
This will now download the file necessary for us to install the games, mods, etc from steam to run dedicated servers.
Next we need to make the file we just downloaded executable and run it to unpack the steam files needed to install the server.
chmod 744 hldsupdatetool.
bin
Now execute the file and choose yes to the EULA agreement.
.
/hldsupdatetool.
bin
Now for the time consuming part.
We are now going to install the files needed for our dedicated server.
What this will do is download all the files needed for the server to the directory we specify.
Once it has finished we will need to run it a second time to update any files that might need updating.
.
/steam -command update -game "insurgency" -dir.
.
/steam -command update -game "insurgency" -dir.
Once the game files have been updated we need to get a vanilla server up and running.
To do this we need to customize the server.
cfg file.
cd insurgency/cfg/ cp server.
cfg server.
bak rm server.
cfg wget hxxp://www.
econsole.
de/doku/server.
cfg
You will now want to edit the file and change some of the default values in the file.
(rcon password,etc...
)
nano server.
cfg
Finally we need to make a start up script to ease the starting of our server.
I have made a bash script that you can download.
Make sure you have screen installed!
cd..
/..
wget hxxp://www.
compuhowto.
com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/insstart.
sh chmod 744 insstart.
sh .
/insstart.
sh
That's it you have now setup your own Insurgency dedicated Linux server and you can start playing.
