SERVER CONFIG

The general syntax is:

[tag]

key="value"

key="value,value,..."

[/tag]

Global keys:

ban_save_file

Full or relative path to a (gzip compressed) file that the server can read and write. Bans will be saved to this file and read again on server start.

connections_allowed

The number of allowed connections from the same IP. 0 means infinite. (default: 5)

disallow_names

Names/nicks that are not accepted by the server. `*' and `?' from wildcard patterns are supported. See glob(7) for more details. Default values (used if nothing is specified) are: *admin*,*admln*,*server*,ai,ai?,computer,human,network,player.

fifo_path

The path to the fifo you can echo server commands into (same as /query ... from wesnoth). If not specified defaults to the compile-time specified path (default: /var/run/socket/wesnothd/socket).

max_messages

The number of allowed messages in messages_time_period. (default: 4)

messages_time_period

The time period (in seconds) message flooding is detected in. (default: 10 seconds)

motd

The message of the day.

passwd

The password used to gain admin privileges. Usually it starts with `admin '.

restart_command

The command that the server uses to start a new server process via the `restart' command. (Can only be issued via the fifo.)

versions_accepted

A comma separated list of version strings to be accepted by the server. `*' and `?' from wildcard patterns are supported. (defaults to the corresponding wesnoth version)
Example: versions_accepted="*" accepts any version string.

Global tags:

[redirect] A tag to specify a server to redirect certain client versions to.

host

The address of the server to redirect to.

port

The port to connect to.

version

A comma separated list of versions to redirect. Behaves the same way as versions_accepted in regard to wildcard patterns.

[ban_time] A tag to define convenient keywords for temporary ban time lengths.

name

The name used to reference the ban time.

time

The time length definition. The format is: %d[%s[%d%s[...]]] where %s is s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), D (days), M (months) or Y (years) and %d is a number. If no time modifier is given minutes (m) are assumed. Example: time="1D12h30m" results in a ban time of 1 day, 12 hours and 30 minutes.

[proxy] A tag to tell the server to act as a proxy and forward the connected client's requests to the specified server. Accepts the same keys as [redirect].
