Starting the server

Important: if you're running a dedicated server, don't forget to use the -nohomedir parameter. Otherwise ut will create a .loki directory in your homedir $HOME!

Starting the server: $ ./ucc-bin server <gametype> ini=ut.ini log=ut.log -nohomedir
Starting with a mutator: $ ./ucc-bin server <gametype>?mutator=<mutator> ini=ut.ini log=ut.log -nohomedir

Starting the server (example): $ cd /usr/local/games/ut/System; $ ./ucc-bin server CTF-Face?game=Botpack.CTFGame?mutator=BotPack.NoRedeemer ini=ut.ini log=ut.log -nohomedir &

Default port config

7777 UDP/IP: Game port
7778 UDP/IP: Query port
7779 UDP/IP: Query port
7780 UDP/IP: GameSpy query port
7781 UDP/IP: GameSpy query port
27900 TCP/IP: UT Master Server Browser

If your server is behind a router/firewall with NAT enabled, don't forget to set the "ServerName" to your external IP:: [UWeb.WebServer]; ServerName=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (e.g. 195.130.132.82)
