I won't be sharing instructions, sorry.

If you aren't going to share then why post? That's kinda like "Hey I know how to get a guaranteed job after graduation, but you'll have to figure it out on your own. Sorry."

[sthalik 10]

Because Steam doesn't work on Wine now and had to resort to less savory methods.

Graduation? What graduation? I didn't graduate from my fracking high school :D

It's just that you could have put the instructions up. Running the server under Linux opens it up to more people. You could get more performance from the same machine on Linux than Windows due to free resources on a properly tuned machine.

Reading comprehension failure.

had to use the

perl -e 'print chr for 99, 114, 97, 99, 107'

PS COSA server was run under Wine for ages on old ananke. Hi Tenk if you ever read this :)

Instructions for building with Steam:

git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git
cd wine
git checkout origin/master -b hacks
# Here you accept reversion
[b]git revert 7ce90cc7198a6dee75a999e9502ff997e5d3a763[/b]
cd ..
mkdir -p wine-build
cd wine-build
../wine/configure --prefix=/some
gmake -j8 depend all
gmake install
[b]# Also run winecfg, go to libraries and disable dwrite![/b]

The bolded commit broke Steam. No need for any less-than-savory solutions!

Is it fully supported or does it crash alot with some weird OpenGL out of mem issues?

tip: take this to a linux forum. no one here cares. btw good luck at running this at more than 5fps

This is a dedicated server. Also, 40 people playing with no issue.

[xSnakeDoctor 10]

What kind of hardware specs? I'd like to run my own box but have never done it before..

[sthalik 10]

It shouldn't consume much more resources than Windows dedicated server.

Now that Steam solution and not 5-letter-word is available, I can help. What's your issue?

Specs:

CPU: Intel® Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (3400.07-MHz K8-class CPU)

Won't work now on Wine. Windows VM firewall rules (ugly, but no other way):

rdr on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port 3391 -> $cosa_ip port 3389
rdr on $ext_if inet proto udp from any to ($ext_if) port 2300:2400 -> $cosa_ip
nat on $ext_if inet proto udp from $cosa_ip port 1024:65535 to any -> ($ext_if) [color="#FF0000"]static-port[/color]

@Placebo please fix :)

For devs: you use WSAgetsockaddrinfo() or similar to get remote's port. This is incorrect! Use port specified by user/GS.

Why do people like you get to post on these forums? That is an incredibly ignorant statement besides being incredibly useless to anyone but your own ego.
