5 HOW TO SET UP A PARADISE LEAGUE SERVER:
6
7 Compile the server. If you have a working server already, you're
8 good to go. There are no special options to turn on to configure a
9 league tournament server.
10
11 Instead of invoking listen with "listen -p 2592" start two of them:
12
13 % listen -H -p 3333
14 % listen -A -p 4444
15
16 These processes automatically invoke ntserv with the proper
17 arguments and ntserv then invokes the daemon with the correct
18 arguments. A daemon running in league mode does NOT use the .sysdef
19 file. Any necessary adjustments will be made by the League Council
20 (you can modify sysdefaults.c or shipvals.c if you REALLY want to
21 change something, but we discourage it).
22
23 People can connect to the port of their choice and they will be
24 forced onto the home or the away team.
25
26 Once in the game players have a number of commands available to
27 them. To access these commands send yourself a message starting with
28 the word "league" (or any abbreviation down to "le").
29
30 One player will be captain and declare himself so by issuing the
31 command "league captain". The captain's next duty is to name his team
32 with "league teamname *string*".
33
34 The away team has first choice of empires. To choose an empire the
35 captain issues the command "league *shortname*". The available
36 empires are FED, ROM, KLI, and ORI. The home team then chooses an
37 empire.
38
39 Once empires are chosen both captains issue the command "league
40 start", everyone explodes, and the game enters the warmup. After 1
41 minute of warmup everyone explodes again and the game begins
42 ("commence scumming, you twinks!").
43
44 Other commands are available under the league prefix. Some of them
45 are restricted to captains. Here is a section I put in my MOTD once.
46 I've got my roommate working on flashy graphics.
47
48 HOW TO USE THE CONTROLS FOR LEAGUE PLAY.
49
50 You can use a league control by sending a message to yourself
51 beginning with "league" (or any abbreviation down to "le"). The
52 following commands are usable by any peasant:
53
54 "league help" gives you a short refresher on available league
55 commands.
56
57 "league captain" makes you the captain of your team. "league
58 captain 0" will unmake you captain.
59
60 "league info" tells you about each team.
61
62 "league time" tells you how much time the game is configured for.
63 Overtime is not yet implemented.
64
65 "league home" and "league away" can be used to defect to another
66 team.
67
68 THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS ARE RESERVED FOR TEAM CAPTAINS:
69
70 "league pass" can be used to pass the first choice of empire to
71 the other team. Away has the first choice of
72 empire when the server starts.
73
74 "league start" signifies your team is ready to start. If you
75 decide you are NOT ready to start, use "league
76 start 0". You need a team name, a team captain
77 and an empire to start.
78
79 "league teamname whatever" names your team `whatever'.
80
81 "league empire" (where empire is "ind", "fed", "rom", "kli", or
82 "ori") sets your team's empire to that empire.
83 Ind actually stands for no choice of empire and
84 allows your opponents to choose that empire.
85
86 "league time regulation overtime" (where regulation and overtime are
87 integers) sets the time in minutes of each period
88 of the tournament. Overtime is not yet implemented.
89
90 "league home pnum" and "league away pnum" allow the captain of a team
91 to throw a player off his own team.
92
93 "league galaxy" resets the galaxy with a new planetary
94 configuration.
