Start the game as you normally would, but use the "-dedicated" command
line option. This will make Doomsday run in a text-only console mode.
For instructions on how to configure the server, see Doc/Network.txt.

Quick instructions:
Brief instructions:

1. Start with the "-dedicated" command line option.

2. Configure the TCP (cvar "net-port-control") and UDP (cvar
"net-port-data") port numbers. The TCP port is used for
accepting new clients. The UDP port is used for data
traffic. The default port number is 13209 for both TCP and
UDP. This step has to be done only once because the port
numbers are saved into the config file.

3. "net init tcpip"

4. "net server start"

5. The current map can be changed with the "setmap" console
command.

6. The server can be stopped with the command "net server
stop". If you wish to exit the program completely, use the
command "quit".

Even briefer instructions:

1. Make sure you have already configured the TCP/UDP port
numbers.

2. Start with the command line options "-dedicated -server".
