discuss: Thread: Game Server HOWTO

Hello,

Here's an early version of my Game Server HOWTO I've been working on for a
while. It describes how to install and configure servers for the most
popular multiplayer first-person shooters (eventually I'll also add
Freeciv/Tetrinet). It's not yet ready; I'm going to add several Quake3
modifications, more to Half-Life, tools (log analyzers and such) and revise
everything. There are probably a bunch of grammatical errors/typos (hey,
I'm from Sweden damnit! ;), but here it is anyway:

http://kulladal-56-32.ip-pluggen.com/howtos/eng/html/Game-Server-HOWTO/index.html

and SGML:

http://kulladal-56-32.ip-pluggen.com/howtos/eng/html/Game-Server-HOWTO/Game-Server-HOWTO.sgml

I don't know how good/bad the SGML code is, I learned as I wrote the HOWTO.

Anyway, any comments/suggestions/criticism is appreciated..

Has anybody had a chance to look at this? I was just reviewing old
mail logs and found nobody had answered this message.

fwiw Anders, you might get better feedback as to the *content* of the
document on a gamers site. I don't know if we have any passionate
gamers here or not.

Of course as soon as I say we don't, a dozen will pop up saying "oh
yeah, well what about me?" :-)

Deliver yesterday, code today, think tomorrow.

I wrote an howto about installing and configuring servers for various multiplayer games more than a year ago; it's pretty complete, revised last summer, but officially it never left draft status. I'd hate to see it go to waste so it'd be great if someone would pick it up.

It's all at http://illuminatus.unixsweden.net/~andman/howto/

Do you still intend to update and maintain the document?
