Set up an ETPro server for testing on Ubuntu JeOS

Set up another Ubuntu JeOS ET virtual machine - this time with etpro installed. POW El Rey Ray sent me the ETL 3vs3, 4vs4, 6vs6 and STA 6vs6 configs and so I could test them before uploading them to the POW etpro server: et-pro.com:27961.

The virtual machine has 1.5Gb of dedicated HD space and 256Mb of RAM. A vanilla Ubuntu JeOS installation takes less than 300Mb of HD space and only uses 30Mb of RAM so running it for virtualization is sweet!

Also figured out etpto semiadmin which allows for the use of rcon commands without using the rcon password - very nice!

For example - create a file called etpro.cfg in the etpro folder:

//semi admin levels - 0 disables semiadmin. You can have up to 99 semiadmin levels. Here 1 states that there is one semiadmin logon

set b_semiadminlevels 1

//semi admin password. If we were defining a second semiadmin password then we would set a password for semiadminpass2, and so on through to semiadminpass99 if required.


set b_semiadminpass1 "password"

//semi admin commands - this defines which rcon commands the user of a given seminadmin password can execute. In this example, the ability to kick players.

set b_semiadmincmds1 "kick"

All that is left to do then is to add +exec etpro.cfg to the bash script that starts the server!

Wunderbar!
