Server Running a Mare Nostrum Server

[Psycho_Sam]

If you are looking to run a Mare Nostrum server on release this Saturday then this post is for you. In order to get you up and running as soon as possible we will be releasing the download to you slightly earlier in order so you can get it uploaded and running for release time.

In order to get the early download you need to PM the following form to me.

Admin Name:
Server Name:
Server IP:
Server Location:
Server Size:
Affiliated Website:
Contact Email:

This download is only meant for one person the server administrator, any abuse of this will result in you being taken off the list for future early releases.



Running a Mare Nostrum Server is pretty simple. For any server operator that is familar with UT style -mod flags, Mare Nostrum works the extact same way as it did for running the RO mod on a UT2004 server.

The biggest thing is you have to modify is the start line of your server to include the following:

MN-Akaba.rom?game=MNEngine.MNTeamGame -mod=MareNostrum ini=MareNostrum.ini

(Some server providers require you contact them to make this change. Please see your server operators documentation for information on this.)

Once the command line is changed just restart your server and you should be good to go!

Ok so it looks to me like it will be a seperate server and serperate .ini. Am I correct. Sorry if this seems rudimentary, but I am kinda new to running a server.

 

[Psycho_Sam]

No, 1 server.

 

[Echoman]

if 1 server then will I be able to run both games at same time?

Nope, but you can switch between the two. However you will need to change the command line and restart the server each time you want to do that.

Better off getting a second server. Anyway, when this is released in the next few days, it is free?

you should ask gameservers to make 2 buttons 1 for normal game 1 for MN so gs servers can switch on the fly through the control panel.

hi there,

Could we get more information about where to put the files ?

I am a complete noob as a ro server administrator.
I guess that we just have to upload the all MareNotrum folder ?

I might ask for a lot but could someone make a simple tutorial

Download the server distribution (link at http://www.marenostrumgame.com/ ). Unrar this and put the marenostrum folder (and everything in it) in your red orchestra folder on your server. The modify your server startup commandline as posted in the first post on this thread.

Is the command line change we have to make in the RO .ini?

MN-Akaba.rom?game=MNEngine.MNTeamGame -mod=MareNostrum ini=MareNostrum.ini

 

[Floyd]

No. The Command line is the command (with parameters) that your server company uses to start the server.

(Hopefully I won't be over simplifying it when I say........)
It might be in the form of a batch file that includes:
ucc.exe server MN-Akaba.rom?game=MNEngine.MNTeamGame -mod=MareNostrum ini=MareNostrum.ini

ucc.exe would be the command and the rest would be parameters

Or they may use a game admin panel that handles it differently.

How do I know if I have access to that?

Ask your server company. I have a dedicated box, so I don't know how your game server company works.
