1 This tutorial explains how to setup a local test server that can be launched on the same machine as client.
5 This section explains how to setup a server from the official release of Xonotic. It assumes that you have extracted it in `~/Games/Xonotic/Release`.
7 First you need to create a file called `~/.xonotic/data/server.cfg` with the following content:
11 hostname "My Test server"
15 This config creates a vanilla deathmatch server that will be visible to other players on the server list.
17 Next, you will probably want to create a launcher for your server so you can launch it from your desktop. Create a file called `~/Desktop/Xonotic Server.desktop` with the following content:
24 Exec=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/xonotic-linux64-dedicated -sessionid 1
26 Icon=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/misc/logos/icons_png/xonotic_32.png
27 Path=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Release/
30 Now try double clicking on that launcher in your desktop and it should launch a dedicated server. Then you can launch client and connect to it.
34 This section explains how to setup a server from the git repository of Xonotic. It assumes that you have cloned it in `~/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic`.
36 You can use `server.cfg` from the previous section.
38 Create a file called `~/Desktop/Xonotic Git Server.desktop` with the following content:
41 #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
47 Exec=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/darkplaces/darkplaces-dedicated -xonotic -sessionid 1
48 Name=Xonotic Git Server
49 Icon=/home/user/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/misc/logos/icons_png/xonotic_32.png
50 Path=/home/user/Stuff/Games/Xonotic/Git/xonotic/
53 Again, double click on this launcher to launch server. Have fun!
