✨ chocolate-server(6) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Games Manual section, page chocolate-server(6) — yes this is a manual page and yes it's about to be the most fun you've ever had reading about a dedicated game server 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

chocolate-server — the dedicated server for chocolate-doom, no cap

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

chocolate-server [options]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So. Chocolate Doom is a modern Doom engine that's literally built to behave as similarly to the original Doom game as it possibly can. Like, that's the whole personality. Iconic.

chocolate-server is a dedicated server for Chocolate. The way to think about it: it's exactly equivalent to running chocolate-doom(6) with the -dedicated option. Same energy, different entrance. 💅

Here's the tea tho: game options are NOT specified to the server. The server's whole job is just to retransmit data between the players in the game. That's it. It's the group chat, not the conversation. The parameters for the game get specified by the first player to connect to the server, and that player is designated the controlling player. They're the main character, fr fr. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -ignoreversion — Ignore version mismatches between the server and the client. > ⚠️ bestie be careful: using this option may cause game desyncs to occur, or differences in protocol may mean the netgame will simply not function at all. Like, it might not work. At all. 🙈
  • -port n — Use UDP port n for communications instead of the default (2342). Cute little custom port, slay.
  • -privateserver — Don't register with the global master server. Just, like, staying lowkey. 🤫
  • -servername name — Specify a name for the server. Give it a name, give it a vibe. ✨
