crlserver
=========
crlserver is a roguelike server in the spirit of dgamelaunch, but it
manages users logins and scores for far more than just nethack.
Features
--------
* It's not GPL'ed
* Multiple game
* Simple configuration
* SQL or LDAP authentification backend
* Simple and clean UI
* Easy username filtering
TODO
----
* Support of ttyrec for games record
* Support of ttyplay for real time games watching
* Configurable menus via the configuration file, like dgamelaunch does
Known working plateforms
------------------------
* OpenBSD i386, amd64 and loongson
* Ubuntu i386 and amd64
Compilation
-----------
* Edit 'pathnames.h', to suit your needs (there is documentation inside)
* Use 'make' or 'gmake' depending on your plateform
Installation
------------
* Put the binary somewhere and the content of 'data' in the directories
you have specified in 'pathnames.h'.
* Create the 'playground' and 'userdata' directories.
* Create a user (eg: 'crlserver')
* Edit your sshd_config and add those lines:
Match User crlserver
ForceCommand /path/to/crlserver
* Alternatively you can use telnet or put crlserver as a login shell
but it's not the recommended way.
* Create a crlserver configuration file and put it in /etc or crlserver's
home
* It works (or if not, mail me) !
Configuration
-------------
Grab the sample.conf in 'data' and change the values to what you want.
game nethack {
longname = "NetHack"
version = "3.4.3"
description = "This is the vanilla version of NetHack"
key = "n"
path = "/usr/games/nethack"
params = {"-u","%user%"}
}
When the string '%user%' is found somewhere in the variables 'env' and 'params',
it is automatically replaced by the username at login-time.
You can do the same thing for text editors.
editor rledit {
longname = "RogueLike Editor"
version = "?"
description = "This is an example"
key = "r"
path = "/usr/local/bin/rledit"
}
