QServ is a standalone Cube 2: Sauerbraten server that is written entirely in C and C++. The entire command system is split away from the existing server, allowing for ease of upgradability and better organization. The server also features complimentary functions for C++ and C that allow users to more easily create their own commands, functions, and modifications.

You can simply use the included precompiled executables in the qserv2020-main/bins folder. please move the qserv osx or qserv linux (according to if you're on mac osx or linux) executable into the root qserv2020-main folder and rename it qserv, then run the server executable by executing ./qserv. If the x64 executables are not compatible with your system, or you wish to have the most up to date version of QServ, then please compile QServ yourself and create your own executable by following the steps below:
MAC OSX
- xCode: Go to the App Store and download "xCode," or visit: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/
- xCode command Line tools, run: "xcode-select --install" from Terminal after xCode is installed
- CMake: download CMake for command line, or a GUI from https://cmake.org/download/
LINUX
- install CMake from terminal: "sudo apt-get install cmake"
- install Zlib from Terminal: "sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev"
- install a compiler from Terminal: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
WINDOWS
- A Windows version of QServ will be available soon
Please make sure you have all of the requirements for compiling (listed above) installed before continuing.
-
Download QServ by clicking here or run "git clone https://github.com/deathstar/QServ2020" from command line (requires git): "sudo apt-get install git" or http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/
-
place the qserv2020 folder on your Desktop and make sure it's named accordingly
-
Open command line and type: "cd Desktop/qserv2020"
-
Run the cmake command (or select the qserv2020 folder from the CMake GUI): "cmake ."
-
Run the make command: "make"
-
Run the start server command: "./qserv" for a live log, "nohup ./qserv &" for background
Note: if you just use "./qserv" you will need to keep the window open to keep the server running. It is suggested that you always run "nohup ./qserv &" to keep the server up in the background and output the log to nohup.out.
- Press Control-C to stop, or use "top" to get the PID of QServ then use "kill PID" to kill a background server
- Configure general attributes in config/server-init.cfg
- Add authkeys in config/users.cfg
- Type "chmod -R 777 config" from the command line to give QServ permission to access the configuration files
- Create a "packages/base" folder set in the QServ root directory. Then, type "chmod -R 777 packages" from the command line to give QServ permission to store maps. (optional)
Can't see player city/state/country msg: try using geoIP geolocation instead of HTTP. To do this, change "usehttpgeolocation 1" to "usehttpgeolocation 0" in config/server-init.cfg. Also, make sure the file permissions are set to allow QServ access to the config folder. You can just use "chmod -R 777 qserv2020" from the command line.
flagruns not storing: You can just use "chmod -R 777 qserv2020" from the command line to give QServ access to its files.
QServ IRC not launching at all: you either restarted the server too much or flooded IRC, try a different IRC server.
segmentation fault: send the server logs to DeathStar - gscottmalibu@gmail.com for debugging.
