This page will guide you through the process of setting up an ASSS server.
Contents
Running Windows Version
To run the windows version of ASSS, all you have to do is download the newest version of the windows binary from ASSS's website. Then locate ASSS.bat and double click it. That's it! You now have your own zone up and running.
Building Linux Version
- tar zxvf asss-1.x.y.tar.gz
- cd asss-1.x.y/src
- edit Makefile (in your favorite text editor)
- make
Running Linux Version
In the asss directory:
- ./scripts/run-asss
This script handles ?shutdown -r.
Changing Zone Name / Description
The zone name and description are both defined in the /conf/global.conf file. Edit this file and you will be able to change your zone's nme / description:
[ Billing ] ;Proxy = bin/proxy IP = 127.0.0.1 Port = 1850 ServerName = _ZONENAME_ Password = billingpw
[Directory ] Name = _ZONENAME_ Description = _ZONEDESCRIPTION_
Changing Staff
Your staff is defined in /conf/staff.conf
In order to give yourself sysop you would change it to:
[GroupPasswords] ; this section is just "group-name = password" ; groups that aren't listed can't be logged into by password. ; the rest of the sections in this file are named after arena groups [(global)] ; these are "playername = group" _YOURNAME_ = Sysop
You may also need to log in once using ?passwd <subspace login password> and rejoining the zone before commands work. This is to valididate that only someone using your password is allowed to use sysop commands, in case the Billing Server goes down, or you don't use a biller.
Changing Map
To change the map you need to first put the map (.lvl file) you want to use into the /maps/ directory. Then you edit the settings in the arena you want your map to be in. Change General:Map to be the name of the .lvl file you want it to use.
Changing Settings
To change what default arena is using, edit /arenas/(default)/arena.conf. Note that this file may use data from other files using #include statements. To override certain settings without editing them from the original files, you can define them at the end of a file. For example, if you wanted svs settings, but the map to be "mymap.lvl" you could set your arena.conf to be:
; drop in all of svs settings here #include conf/svs/svs.conf [General] Map = mymap.lvl
Changing Modules
You can change which modules your server uses. First make sure the compiled .dll file with your plugin is in the /dist/bin/ directory. Let's say our .dll file was called MyModules.dll and the module we were trying to use was called FreqWatcher. Now edit /conf/modules.conf and at the very end add:
MyModules:FreqWatcher
The order of the modules.conf file is important, as files that depend on other files must be listed after them (unless they take advantage of MM_POSTLOAD in their main module function). Usually when the server aborts while loading, the problem can be traced back to the modules.conf file (a module is missing, or in the wrong place).
