Dedicated Server Wiki Guide

Can you please update this to give accurate and 100% verified working instructions on how to set up Joust, Elite or Heroes Servers please?

I've tried googling but have not found one article that is accurate or complete.

I have add the modification in the matchsettings.

Can you specify minimal requirements for 8-10 people server, including the preferable OS ?

It's difficult for the moment, the server needs optimization, but Linux is all the time the best ^^, 1Gb RAM and 1,5 Ghz CPU.

Thats all very well and good and thank you for this update:

In the Matchsettings, don't forget to change the <script_name></script_name> by ShootMania\Elite.Script.txt or ShootMania\Joust.Script.txt or ShootMania\Heroes.Script.txt.

The problem is, these txt files do not exist!
In my Dedicated Server install folder under:
UserData\Scripts\MapTypes\Shootmania
and
UserData\Scripts\Modes\Shootmania
I don't have those gametypes

Where do I get Elite.Script.txt, Joust.Script.txt, Heroes.Script.txt from????

They are in the title, the dedicated server will found their automatically with this link.

Debian will do ?

Yes, I have one server on Debian and one on Ubuntu and they work fine.

I have copied Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx to D:\ManiaPlanetBetaServer\UserData\Maps\ShootMania\EliteArena\Elite

Run the server and it says :

Press a key to quit.

Im at a loss now as I see nowhere where the default Elite maps are stored as .GBx files other than the Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx which I have copied but the server still says it cannot find????

PLEASE PLEASE can you add dedicated sub-sections to the Wiki explaining to to set up Joust, Elite etc as the dedicated server package doesn't appear to have anything there by default and I'm going around in circles because the current Wiki is not clear at all when it comes to the add on games

The Dedicated Server package only appears to have correct folders etc for the Storm gametypes.

My Server runs successfully if I run the default RunSrvSM.bat file so I know its not an issue with by install or hardware/OS etc.
