Linux-based Server

(1/2) > >>

mrhanman:
Is there a way to host the server on Linux without requiring X?  I know Wine should work for the game, but is there a completely command line only way to run it?

I have a pretty beefy server I use for various things, including game hosting, but I have no display on it, or even X installed.  I was hoping to try to get a World up continuously (this thing never goes down), and I was hoping to get the community to pound the crap out of it to see when it breaks.  I think we could get 30+ people on it, easy.

Sorry, we've not found a way to run the unity player that doesn't require a graphics layer.  They have switches for -nographics or whatever, but we've not been able to get it to work.

mrhanman:
Ah, that's unfortunate.  I suppose it isn't feasible to for you to build a dedicated server without Unity involved at all, right?  Just with whatever is required for the server to function?

Penumbra:
I ran it with "-batchmode" and I saw the process appear, but no window. It's Unity's "headless" mode. I just killed it after, but didn't test. Dang.

Does the server still work then? Or is there game logic being interrupted without graphic updates?
