[Guide] [Debian] T6 Server on Linux VPS/Dedicated Server

DoctorCoctor

I had as couple other unresolved externals, but i could get the server up and running, just not connect to it. (awaiting connection ... xx) then booted out to lobby. Even after updating plutonium using the plutonium-updater executable, same problem.

DoctorCoctor Same issue

Ok looks like the issue is only with T6 Server, I manually created a server by myself and it works.
Just make sure to create in the %localappdata% wine folder, the right server files, the right permissions, etc.

Oh, and use winehq-stable, not staging, as it looks like there are some regressions.

I did a lot of trial&error since I did not know where to put everything but okay.

Edit: Dedicated.cfg must be put under rootgamefiles/main, otherwise is not being read somehow...

Idk why?

olie304 I know this is a year later but how well did the AWS hold and if it did good what one did you use?

Hey Minami
Thanks for your guide, that was very helpful!

I have rewritten the script, so the server can also be installed on Arch Linux.
Also you can directly enter your server key.

Here is the repo: https://github.com/xr4zz/T6Server
I will add a second script for installing IW4MAdmin in the near future as well.

Minami Hello,

i would like to create my own server on my linux vps

i tried to setup my server with this tutorial https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/12870/guide-debian-t6-server-on-linux-vps-dedicated-server but unfortunatly this tutorial is outdated

my actual configuration:

#!/bin/bash

Variable Region

_script="$(readlink -f ${BASH_SOURCE[0]})"

Delete last component from $_script

_mydir="$(dirname $_script)"

Name of the server shown in the title of the terminal window

NAME="SERVER_NAME"

Your Game Path (where there is binkw32.dll)

PAT="Multiplayer/"

Paste the server key from https://platform.plutonium.pw/serverkeys

KEY="xxx"

Name of the config file the server should use. (default: dedicated.cfg)

CFG=dedicated.cfg

Port used by the server (default: 4976) -> Don't forget to allow server port in ufw fail2ban

PORT=4976

Game Mode ( Multiplayer / Zombie ) -> ( t6mp / t6zm )

MODE=t6mp

End Region

Update Region

Plutonium game dir

INSTALLDIR="plutonium/"

Update your server game file

./plutonium-updater -d "$INSTALLDIR"

End Region

Server Start Region

echo -e '\033]2;'Plutonium - $NAME - Server restart'\007'
echo "Visit plutonium.pw | Join the Discord (plutonium) for NEWS and Updates!"
echo "Server "$NAME" will load $CFG and listen on port $PORT UDP!"
echo "To shut down the server close this window first!"
printf -v NOW '%(%F_%H:%M:%S)T' -1
echo ""$NOW" $NAME server started."

while true
do
wine .\bin\plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe $MODE $PAT -dedicated +start_map_rotate +set key $KEY +set net_port $PORT +set sv_config $CFG 2> /dev/null
printf -v NOW '%(%F_%H:%M:%S)T' -1
echo ""$NOW" WARNING: $NAME server closed or dropped... server restarting."
sleep 1
done

End Region

https://prnt.sc/6VgoRvpIcLUf

https://prnt.sc/nKMT6vmgKCVR

could some one send me a tutorial to give me a possibility to create my own server, i am using debian 10

Sithey why don't you use window friend the bad thing about linux that this is not yet 100% compatible for linux there will be problems in my case I had it with cpu I used 100% of the cpu when using wine

Sithey
Do not use sh to launch your script.
Use bash or ./. Like ./T6Server.sh or bash T6Server.sh.

And if you want reinstall, this is a new scripts installation : https://github.com/Sterbweise/T6Server

VZLAxSmoke Because no one wants to use Windows Server. That is not how modern hosting of any good service is done.

Minami Thank you for the guide!
Is there any hints/tricks to get a bit better performance? Sometimes my server lags for a few seconds but not sure what causes it
