ufoai-server(6)

✨ ufoai-server β€” the manual page bestie πŸ’–

okay so you're looking at the ufoai-server(6) page, section 6, from the games family, and honestly? it's giving dedicated server realness. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

ufoai-server β€” the UFO: Alien Invasion dedicated server. that's it, that's the whole name. no cap.


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

ufoai-server [+<internal command> option value] ...

yep. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you optionally sprinkle internal commands on top, and it just goes. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

so ufoai-server is the dedicated server for the strategy game UFO: Alien Invasion. like, the actual server-server. not the game client with a server bolted on β€” the dedicated one, living its own life, serving matches, main character energy only. πŸ‘‘


✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help β€” shows you this help. when in doubt, ask for help. iconic behaviour honestly 🫢
  • -q, --quiet β€” turns OFF console output. the server goes silent mode. no thoughts, head empty, just vibes 🀫
  • +<internal command> β€” okay this one's fun. anything you pass as +<internal command> is exactly the same stuff the in-game console understands. to open that in-game console you press SHIFT+ESC. and if you wanna know all the options the game supports? use the in-game cvarlist and it'll dump the whole list for you. iykyk πŸ“œ

πŸ—‚οΈ FILES πŸ—‚οΈ

  • /etc/ufoai-server/server.cfg β€” the dedicated server config. this is where the settings live 🏠
  • /etc/default/ufoai-server β€” default commands that get executed when you start up the dedicated server. like a little pre-game ritual 🌈
  • mapcycle.txt β€” this is the file that defines the mapcycle the dedicated server is using. maps go in, maps come out, rotation stays rotating πŸ”

πŸ‘€ SEE ALSO πŸ‘€

go check your sibling page, bestie, it's right there πŸ’œ


🌟 little reminder: options passed with +<internal command> are the same as what the in-game console understands β€” so if you're confused, SHIFT+ESC in game and cvarlist are your new besties.

and that's a wrap, angel ✨ this was ufoai-server, manual page ufoai-server(6), from the games section β€” dated August 2013 because the classics never go out of style πŸŽ€ stay slay, keep your server up, and don't forget your server.cfg πŸ’–πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ
