Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.

Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the worlds network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

The player will be immersed in action packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and implants, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal were making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

Note: System used was Ubuntu Breezy Badger 2.6.12-9

Installation:

Log in as root

Create a user (EX. hlds, dystopia, srcds, etc..) with the command:

adduser hlds

Give that user a password

passwd hlds

Create a directory somewhere as that user where the server files and game files will go and go to that directory

mkdir /home/hlds/srcds

Make the owner of that directory your new user

chown hlds /home/hlds/srcds

Either login as that user or change to that user with the command

su hlds

Get the linux hlds update tool accurate as of 2/22/07

wget http://storefront.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin

Change the file to be executable

chmod ugo+x hldsupdatetool.bin

Run the hldsupdatetool.bin

./hldsupdatetool.bin

If you see an error about not finding /bin/uncompress type

ln -s /bin/gunzip /bin/uncompress && ./hldsupdatetool.bin

Answer the agreement
Run the steam file that is extracted

./steam

It will update itself and then tell you to rerun the command, do so, but changed. This will take a while

./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir .

Download the Dystopia V1 server package

wget dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Extract the files in your srcds folder

tar -xvzf dystopia_v1_server.tar.gz

Configuration:

Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/server.cfg with your editor of choice. This file is run at every map change.

Comment out or remove the following line.

map dys_assemble

This must be done or you server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/cfg/valve.rc with your editor of choice. This file is run at server start

Add in the line the following line.

map dys_assemble

This map can be whatever you like your server to start on. If you do not do this, your server will not start properly.
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/motd.txt with your editor of choice
Edit ~/srcds/dystopia/mapcycle.txt with your editor of choice

Starting the Server - Basic

Go to your srcds directory, whatever it is named

cd ~/srcds

Use the following command to start your server, this is a basic setup, replace 1.1.1.1 with the ip you want your server to report. You can also leave out the +ip 1.1.1.1 and it will take the first IP it can get

./srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015 &

To bring the console back so you can type commands into the console. use the command

fg

This will not always work.

The drawback to this method is that once you start it and then exit your ssh session you will not be able to get it back (at least I dont know of a way, if you do, let me know and Ill add it)

Starting the server - Advanced

Check to see if you have the screen command

screen

If you do, proceed, if not, get it. Create a shell script with the following commands. To do so, open a file in your favorite text editor (*nix only please). I named the file serverStart.sh

#!/bin/sh echo "Starting Dystopia Beta Server" sleep 1 cd /home/hlds/srcds screen -A -m -S dystopia /home/hlds/srcds/srcds_run -game dystopia_v1 +maxplayers 20 -ip 1.1.1.1 -port 27015

Make the shell script executable

chmod ugo+x serverStart.sh

Once its up and running, to exit the screen without closing it use the following key combo

ctrl+A,D (ctrl+A and then while still holding a, press d)

To retrieve the screen so that you can look at the console

screen -r

SS5 is a socks server that implements the SOCKS v4 and v5 protocol. As a proxy server, SS5 authenticates, profiles and processes network requests for clients.
Socks Server 5 establishes connections to application hosts for client applications. When the client attempts to access the network, the client connects to the SS5 daemon instead of the application host.
Following authentication, clients request that SS5 perform network activities for the client.
The activities might include:
CONNECT
BIND
UDP ASSOCIATE
The SS5 protocol is independent of application protocols, and can assist with different networking services, including telnet, ftp, finger, whois, gopher, and WWW access.
Enhancements:
- Fix code
