How Do You Make a Server?

[HaloBunny]

Title.

[Savi]

In root folder of game, you have file called "teeworlds_srv", you can run it and in "LAN" tab in game you'll see your own server :)

If you want to configure your server, check this thread:
https://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs&wiki=server_setup_2
And

Thanks, but how would I port forward it? If I needed to that is.

[Savi]

You need to open a UDP port that uses the server (Default: 8303).

http://portforward.com/ <- this website will help you how to open port in your router.

[HaloBunny]

Ew. I don't use that. I use my router ip website thing.

[JonasTheRoman]

Just look for your router, there should be a tutorial here :)

(But watch out, don't be confused by the ads!)

[HaloBunny]

I already found my router, I just can't figure it out. I port forwarded already for the game. Just trying to figure out how to make the CFG file.

[Savi]

make an autoexec.cfg file, and put there your configurations. For one server it's really enough, you don't need to do anything more, just run teeworlds_srv and it'll read this autoexec.cfg file

[HaloBunny]

Can you just add me so this can be simpler if you will?

[HaloBunny]

Yeah, I don't know where to paste the game configurations or anything anywhere.

[Steezy]

To configure the server you need to create a .cfg-file so that the server knows what to do. Use your favorite text editor to create a config that uses the following syntax:

setting value setting2 value2 To find the available settings, read the Server Settings[www.teeworlds.com] doc.

teeworlds_srv will read the file 'autoexec.cfg' in the same folder as the executable, or in your $USERDIR for a Linux-based system (I don't know about Windows or Mac).

As Taw|Steez pointed out, the list of available settings is available here[www.teeworlds.com].

Here is a sample for a DeathMatch server. Everything is commented so you can easily tweak a few settings. Some values are not included, so make sure to check the documentation[www.teeworlds.com] if you need something else.

# == Server info ==
# Basic info such as the server name, port and Message Of The Day
sv_name Your Server Name
sv_motd Welcome to my awesome server!
sv_port 8303

# Password to join the server. Remove/comment this line (or put an empty string with "") to disable
password opensesame

# Rcon password (remote console). Used for server admin once in game.
sv_rcon_password alohomora

# Register the server (it will appear publicly in the server list. 0 to disable)
sv_register 1

# Max clients allowed to join (max: 16)
sv_max_clients 16

# Max clients allowed to join from a single IP address.
# Handy to prevent players from spamming the server with multiple clients, but also blocks legit players from the same network if too low!
sv_max_clients_per_ip 4


# == Game Settings ==
# Gametype (ctf, dm or tdm). Default is dm.
sv_gametype dm

# Map to play on. Maps included by default are: dm1, dm2, dm6, dm7, dm8, dm9, ctf1, ctf2, ctf3, ctf4, ctf5, ctf6, ctf7
sv_map dm1

# Score limit (disable: 0 ; default: 20 ; max: 1000)
# In CTF, each flag adds 100 points.
sv_scorelimit 20

# Time limit, in minutes (disable: 0 ; default: 0)
sv_timelimit 0

# Friendly fire (disable: 0 ; enable: 1 ; default: 0)
sv_teamdamage 0

# Players will join as spectator (disable: 0 ; enable: 1 ; default: 0)
sv_tournament_mode 0

Setting an rcon password will grant you access to the remote console directly in game. See server commands[www.teeworlds.com] here. F2 is the default key to open up the remote console.


Alternatively, you can use this service[mytw.eu] to host a temporary server in EU/US for free, without need to configure port forwarding or deal with a config file.

[HaloBunny]

Can someone just add me to make this simpler? I bought PortForward and I need to know how to set up the CFG file.

[Guillaume]

I don't think you needed to buy something to configure port-forwarding? Well if at least it worked :P
