Basic directions:
- Install node.js and git. The search engine of your choice can find them for you.
- Create a directory to install to, go there on command prompt and use 'git clone https://github.com/Istaran/Redscale2'; to download it.
- Get the prerequisites by using 'npm install' in the directory to get everything ready.
- To run, use 'npm start' from the directory. This will launch the server. If it's all working right, it should say 'Redscale is listening on port 8161!'
- To connect to your local server, navigate your browser to 'localhost:8161'. If you know your IP, you can connect from any browser that can reach you. You can also configure the port with the PORT environment variable.
- To update to the latest version, use 'git pull'. You should stop your server before doing so and restart it after for best results.
Limitations on a private server:
- Google authentication will be disabled. So only one player is really supported.
- The chat feature is disabled. (If I hadn't done that, there'd be a 'ghost chat' effect where you can be heard by whoever is logged in at the moment but your message is gone when someone logs in later)
- NSFW content is not included. This is mandated by the TOS for github. The game will run fine without it, and you can always add your own if you like.
