Help installing on CentOS 6.3 x64

(Coldgame) #1

This is my first attempt at creating a dedicated server.
I tried following this guide
This is what I’ve done so far:

adduser etserver

passwd etserver

su etserver

$ cd ~
$ wget -c http://filebase.trackbase.net/et/full/et260b.x86_full.zip
$ unzip et260b.x86_full.zip
$ chmod 755 et260b.x86_keygen_V03.run
$ mkdir bin
$ ./et260b.x86_keygen_V03.run

This last command results in:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing et260b.x86_keygen...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
which: no dialog in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
Dialog is not installed but requires to display etkey generator. Please install dialog.
   (for Ubuntu 'sudo apt-get install dialog ') 
The recommended install location (/usr/local/games) requires root permissions.
Please enter the root password or hit enter to continue install as current user.
Adgangskode: 
/bin/su: forkert adgangskode

I hit ENTER because I don’t want the server to run as root, but the install script complained about bad password, even though it clearly states it can “install as current user.”

I appreciate any help

Maybe you should follow the advice to install dialog in the first line.
Even if you install the server as root, you should be able to run it under an unprivileged useraccount after the installation is done.

But maybe this little guide will help you: http://et-install.com/doku.php?id=wet-install-linux

Another option is to run the installer like this:

./et260b.x86_keygen_V03.run --tar xvf

This command will extract all installer files in the current directory. Then just copy bin/Linux/x86/etded.x86 executable and etmain directory to wherever you want your server to be located. For example:

/home/etserver/dedicated/etded.x86
/home/etserver/dedicated/etmain

Yet another option is to use ET: Legacy.

Uffff you need all this just to run a server? You should stick to the original installer. There is more help around the web than using some custom installer etc.

I’ve just setup an etpro server and i didnt need all of this stuff.
The only thing i got was the 2.60 linux installer from here: http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run - chmod +x this file it and run it.

Then install the 2.60B patch from here: http://magics-territory.com/et/patches/ET-2.60b-linux.zip by extracting and overwriting etded.x86 and et.x86.

Now you should have the basic ET running by typing “./etded.x86” and in the console type “map oasis”

I highly doubt you need the keygen and or any other package to run a dedicated server.

Anyway, if its running and it should. the rest is finetuning.

If he want to run the server protected by punkbuster, at least the PB server files are needed in addition to the gameserver files.
