T6 Server v2.1.0 - Black Ops II Server Installer

Hi guys !

I just updated the installation script to install your T6 Server en Debien. The main update focuses on completely fixing the installation process, which had become outdated. I've also implemented several new features to enhance user experience and system flexibility.

What's New in v2.1.0:

FIX THE SERVER INSTALLTION
Complete installation revamp for improved compatibility and stability
Enhanced modularity for easier maintenance and customization
Multi-language support (English and French)
Optimized Wine installation process

Key Features:

Easy installation process
Automated system updates and dependency management
Firewall configuration with UFW
Wine installation for running Windows applications
.NET installation for IW4MAdmin support
Localization support (English and French)
Server binary installation and configuration
User-friendly command-line interface

Important note: Some users may encounter issues with the zone files. I'm aware of this potential problem and am currently working with the appropriate people to resolve it. An update will be published in the coming days to definitively fix this issue, after confirmation of the necessary changes.

Despite this temporary minor inconvenience, this new version brings many improvements that I'm eager for you to discover.

Installation

Navigate to the /opt directory:
```
cd /opt
```

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Sterbweise/T6Server.git

Navigate to the T6Server directory:
```
cd T6Server
```
Make the installation script executable:
```
chmod +x install.sh
```
Run the installation script:
```
sudo ./install.sh
```
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The script will guide you through:
- Language selection
- UFW firewall installation and configuration
- SSH port configuration
- .NET installation (optional, required for IW4MAdmin)
- Wine installation
- Game binary installation

Configuration

After installation, the primary configuration file to modify is /opt/T6Server/T6Server.sh. This file contains essential settings for your Plutonium Call of Duty: Black Ops II server. Below are the key variables you should configure:

Variable	Description	Default Value
SERVER_NAME	The name of your server as it appears in server lists	"SERVER_NAME"
GAME_PATH	Path to your game files (Multiplayer or Zombie mode)	"/opt/T6Server/Server/Multiplayer"
SERVER_KEY	Your unique Plutonium server key	"YOURKEY"
CONFIG_FILE	Server configuration file (mode-specific)	"dedicated.cfg"
SERVER_PORT	UDP port your server will listen on	4976
GAME_MODE	Game mode selection ("t6mp" or "t6zm")	"t6mp"

To configure your server:

Open the configuration file:
```
nano /opt/T6Server/T6Server.sh
```

Modify the variables according to your preferences. For example:

readonly SERVER_NAME="My Awesome T6 Server" # The name of your server
readonly SERVER_KEY="your_server_key" # Key provided by Plutonium
readonly SERVER_PORT=4976 # Default port for T6 servers
readonly GAME_MODE="t6mp" # "t6mp" for Multiplayer, "t6zm" for Zombies

Save the file and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl+x, then Y to confirm, and Enter to save.

Note: For Zombie mode, set GAME_PATH to "/opt/T6Server/Server/Zombie", CONFIG_FILE to "dedicated_zm.cfg", and GAME_MODE to "t6zm".

Ensure all settings are correctly configured before launching your server.

Launching the Server

To launch your Plutonium Call of Duty: Black Ops II server, follow these professional steps:

Navigate to the T6Server installation directory:
```
cd /opt/T6Server
```
Ensure the start script has the necessary execution permissions:
```
sudo chmod +x T6Server.sh
```
Launch the server:
```
./T6Server.sh
```

For advanced server management:

To run multiple servers concurrently, utilize terminal multiplexers such as tmux or screen.
For background operation, you can use the nohup command:
```
nohup ./T6Server.sh > server.log 2>&1 &
```
This will run the server in the background, redirecting output to server.log.

Note: Ensure all necessary configurations in server.cfg and other relevant files are properly set before launching the server.

For detailed configuration options, troubleshooting, and advanced features, please refer to our GitHub Wiki.

Thanks for putting this all in one spot, I have been running a server on a AWS free tier box and it seems to be holding up just fine.

Minami

olie304 You're welcome. Thank you for your reply, it makes me happy

I get this error while trying to start the server from the console.

Dss0

Crazy_Playz it tells you what's wrong, it can't find the bo2 game files in the folder you specified in the bash script (PAT variable).

Can you update the files please? I have an invalid error ui

ff_1994

My server is running normally, but it does not appear in the list of servers. when I try to connect by console: connect ip: port; I get the following error: incompatible UI version ... any help ??? ....jpg

Minami

ff_1994 4FriendZone Error UI comes from the Binary File. Update it following the instructions :

1. Update your game on your main computer.
2. Transfer your Binary File via FTP ( I advise you to use FilleZilla )

Win + R -> %localappdata%\
Copy Plutonium File and Paste in your server file

3. Re-launch your server.

If it doesn't work, let me know.

Darlathan looks fine?

Darlathan

Dss0 I don't know if everything is correct. I don't know how to connect to my server.
