In this tutorial, we shall show you how to install Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on Ubuntu 22.04.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is a first-person-shooter game from Activision. We shall build the server that will use as a match server with ETPro and latest competitive configuration.
Prerequisites:
- A Ubuntu 22.04 dedicated server or KVM VPS.
- A root user or normal user with administrative privileges.
Install Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on Ubuntu 20.04
Let’s start with the installation.
1. Keep the server up to date
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
2. Install dependencies
Since Enemy Territory is a dated game, some legacy dependencies are required:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install -y libc6:i386 unzip
3. Install Enemy Territory
Create the directory where Enemy Territory will be installed.
mkdir -p ~/et/
Download the Enemy Territory game installation from Splash Damage.
mkdir -p /tmp/etsetup
cd /tmp/etsetup
wget https://cdn.splashdamage.com/downloads/games/wet/et260b.x86_full.zip
unzip et260b.x86_full.zip
./et260b.x86_keygen_V03.run --noexec --target /tmp/etsetup/extracted
mv extracted/* ~/et/
cd ~/et/
mv bin/Linux/x86/etded.x86 .
4. Install ETTV
In order for ETTV relays to connect to your server, replace the ETTV binary from GamesTV and make it executable.
wget https://www.gamestv.org/drop/ettv.x86
chmod +x ettv.x86
5. Install ETPro
Download and extract ETPro into place.
wget https://www.gamestv.org/drop/etpro-3_2_6.zip
unzip etpro-3_2_6.zip
rm -rf etpro-3_2_6.zip
6. Configurations
Download the global configurations into place.
cd etpro/
wget https://www.gamestv.org/drop/globalconfigsv1_3.zip
unzip globalconfigsv1_3.zip
rm -rf globalconfigsv1_3.zip
cd ..
Create a file server.cfg using nano editor.
nano etpro/server.cfg
Copy and paste following contents:
//=========================Server Passwords======================//
set g_password "mypassword" // set to password protect the server
set sv_privateclients "0" // if set > 0, then this number of client slots will be reserved for connections
set sv_privatepassword "" // that have "password" set to the value of "sv_privatePassword"
set rconpassword "myrcon" // remote console access password
set refereePassword "myreferee" // referee status password
set b_shoutcastpassword "myshoutcast" // Shoutcast login
//=============================DL, RATE==========================//
set sv_maxRate "25000"
set sv_dl_maxRate "2048000"
set sv_allowDownload "1"
set sv_wwwDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "https://www.gamestv.org/download/repository/et/"
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected "0"
set sv_wwwFallbackURL ""
//=============================MOD, ECT==========================//
set sv_hostname "My Server Name" // name of server here
set server_motd0 " " // message in right corner of join screen here
set server_motd1 " "
set server_motd2 " "
set server_motd3 " "
set server_motd4 " "
set server_motd5 " "
//==========================MASTER SERVERS==========================//
// The master servers are unset, which means your server will not appear on the list
// This is to avoid DDoS attacks, delete the next 5 lines if you want your server to reappear on the list
set sv_master1 ""
set sv_master2 ""
set sv_master3 ""
set sv_master4 ""
set sv_master5 ""
//=========================STARTUP======================//
map radar
wait 300
config global3
wait 150
config global3
//=========================LOG SETTINGS======================//
set g_log "etserver.log"
set g_logsync 0
set logfile 0
//============================ETTV===========================//
set ettv_sv_maxslaves "2"
set ettv_password "3ttv"
set b_ettv_flags "3"
// Maximum number of clients per IP address
set ip_max_clients 2
In this file change the following configuration options to whatever is best for your situation:
- g_password – This is the password to connect to the gameserver, it may be blank.
- rconpassword
- refereePassword
- b_shoutcastpassword
- sv_hostname – The name of the server that users see.
- server_motd0 – (0-5) Text lines that are displayed on server connect.
6. Download additional maps
Additional maps will need to be placed within the etmain/ directory. They can be added in the following manner:
cd etmain/
wget https://www.gamestv.org/download/repository/et/etmain/adlernest.pk3
cd ~/et/
No additional configuration is required.
7. Create new start script
For simplicity, wrap the start command of the new server in a shell script.
Create a new file ~/et/start.sh:
nano ~/et/start.sh
Add following contents:
#!/bin/bash
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 && pwd )"
"${DIR}/ettv.x86" \
+set dedicated 2 \
+set vm_game 0 \
+set net_port 27960 \
+set sv_maxclients 32 \
+set fs_game etpro \
+set sv_punkbuster 0 \
+set fs_basepath "${DIR}" \
+set fs_homepath "${DIR}" \
+exec server.cfg
Make sure this script is executable.
chmod +x ~/et/start.sh
Run the Server
To run the server now, invoke the script that was just created:
~/et/start.sh
This will run the server in the foreground. If you wish to run the server in the background for a long period, the script should be invoked from within a utility such as screen or tmux.
It is possible to run more than one Enemy Territory server on your virtual server, to make this possible allocate a different port for every gameserver that will run, this is defined in the start.sh script.
Connect to the server
You can connect the server using following command:
/connect 192.168.0.1:27960; password <Your g_password>
Note:
- We have not tested it by connecting the server. If you face any issue while connecting the server, please contact us using [email protected] email id.
- Replace 192.168.0.1 to your server IP.
- Replace <Your g_password> to your password that you have set.
- The 27960 value may be different depending on if you have altered the ~/et/start.sh script above.
That's it. The installation is successfully completed.
