🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Red Eclipse is a single-player and multi-player first-person ego-shooter, built as a total conversion of Cube Engine 2, which lends itself toward a balanced gameplay, with a general theme of agility in a variety of environments. it's giving agile, it's giving balanced, it's giving iconic 💅

redeclipse-server is a script which executes the redeclipse-server binary from the /usr/lib/games/redeclipse directory.

The recommended way to change the settings of the server is to create and edit the file servinit.cfg in your home directory. Examples are available in /usr/share/doc/redeclipse/examples/

no cap, the servinit.cfg route is the recommended one. bestie, please don't fight it ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💾 Filesystem options

• -hhomedir — Sets your home directory to homedir. This is where servinit.cfg is read from, it defaults to $HOME/.redeclipse/. 🏠
• -ppackagedir — Includes the data files found in packagedir. Can be used for adding additional maps that may be distributed to clients. By default redeclipse-server only includes data files in the working directory /usr/share/games/redeclipse/data and in the subdirecory temp of the home directory. 📦
• -osauerdir — Sets the path to your Sauerbraten directory. If the Red Eclipse server can find your Sauerbraten directory, it will be able to load and distribute maps from it. 👀
• -glogfile — Output log to logfile. Path is set relative to homedir unless a leading ´/ is used, uses stdout if -g is given without a parameter. Defaults to stdout. 📝

⚙️ Server configuration options

• -ss{0..3} — Sets server type. 0 for local only, 1 for private, 2 for public, 3 for dedicated. Defaults to 1. 🏷️
• -skjoinpass — Sets the join password to joinpass. Users must know the password before they can connect. 🔐
• -sPadminpass — Sets the admin password to adminpass. 👑
• -scmaxclients — Sets the maximum number of clients to maxclients. 👥
• -sldefaultmap — Sets default map to defaultmap. 🗺️
• -x"command 1; command 2; ..." — Executes a list of commands once the Red Eclipse server has started up. 🚀

🌐 Server connection options

• -siserverip — Binds the server to the host address serverip. Only needed for machines with more than one interface. 🔌
• -spserverport — sets the server port to serverport. 🚪
• -smservermaster — Uses servermaster as the master server, defaults to play.redeclipse.net. 💫
• -saservermasterport — Contacts the master server using port servermasterport, defaults to 28800. 📡
• -suserveruprate — Caps upstream rate to serveruprate. Once the cap is hit it will likely cause major connection glitching and disconnects. Use maxclients for bandwitch limiting instead.

⚠️ okay real talk, hitting that cap = major connection glitching and disconnects. use maxclients for bandwitch limiting instead, fr fr 💀

👑 Master server options

• -ms{0|1} — Enables the server to act as a master server, defaults to 0. ✨
• -mimasterip — Binds the master server to the host address masterip. Only needed for machines with more than one interface, defaults to localhost. 🖥️
• -mpmasterport — Binds the master server to the host port masterport, defaults to 28800. 🔢

🌈 General options
