Files for installing and configuring Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory and ET: Legacy game servers on Linux (x86_64)

These scripts download, install, and configure all necessary components to run an ET: Legacy game server (tested up to v2.81.1-57). From a menu, you can select either a Competition based server or a Public based server and the installer will download and configure the appropriate settings for each. It will also configure FTP access for on-going management of the server. More than one server can be installed on the same host with this installer using a different net_port for each installation. Each server instance is installed into a directory corresponding to the servers port number and systemctl services are created for each in the same manner. (e.g. /install_path/27960,/install_path/27970 & etlserver-27960.service, etlserver-27970.service)

Note that this install script assumes it is being run a freshly installed Linux server running Ubuntu 20.xx and above. The OS and packages will be updated before the server installation begins.

The current project only maintains updates for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Legacy servers for which the directions are below. Other automated installation scripts found in /old are specific to certain hosts and other game mods and are not actively maintained.

Directions

Installs ET: Legacy Server with desired options and cusomizations:

• Download installETLServer.sh: sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csmaxpower/MoesTavern-ETServerInstalls/main/installETLServer.sh
• Set install script permissions: sudo chmod +x installETLServer.sh
• Run installETLServer.sh: sudo ./installETLServer.sh
• Choose menu option to begin installation:

• The necessary setup scripts will then be downloaded and executed and then there will be user prompts for server customization of the following cvars:

  • sv_hostname, net_port
  • sv_maxclients, sv_privateclients
  • g_password, sv_privatepassword, rconpassword, refereepassword, ShoutcastPassword
  • sv_wwwBaseURL

• You will need the http link to whichever .sh installer version for ETLegacy you are wanting to install when the script asks for the installation url.

  • Example URL: https://www.etlegacy.com/workflow-files/dl/01dc5c31ca47758e13455d43ae43682fb3ade3dd/lnx64/etlegacy-v2.81.1-54-g01dc5c3-x86_64.sh
  • Snapshot links can be found here: ET: Legacy Downloads

• There will then be user prompts for setting an username and password for FTP access of the server. This will configure the vsftpd service and also write a DENY line in the SSH access file for the new user that was just created to keep things nice and secure.

• Finally, the script will write and configure a system level service for running the ETL server, a system restart service and system timer to manage daily restarts. The default timer is set to restart the server service at 05:00am if not specified during installation (server local time).

Example system service usage:

sudo systemctl start|stop|status|restart etlserver-27960.service
