ZANGSM (Zandronum Game Server Manager) is designed to simplify the process of hosting and logging multiple dedicated game servers. Supporting Zandronum, Q-Zandronum, Sonic Robo Blast 2 (SRB2), SRB2 Kart.

The zangsm.sh script is 100% Shell and designed to run on Ubuntu. I have not tested any other distro. Architecture wise, the script is compatible with x86_64 and arm64.

A setup script zangsmsetup.sh is also provided automating the process of sourcing server binaries and dependencies for running these game servers.

• Setup
  • zangsmsetup.sh
• Usage
  • zangsm.sh
• Notes

To install ZANGSM standalone to home directory execute the following:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/blind-git/zangsm.git
cd ~/zangsm &&
sudo bash zangsmsetup.sh

To install server files for x86_64 or arm64 architectures for Zandronum/Q-Zandronum/SRB2/SRB2Kart see the following options:

Usage: sudo bash zangsmsetup.sh [options]

Options:
-a, -all        Install all available servers
-z, -zandronum  Install Zandronum
-q, -qzandronum Install QZandronum
-s, -srb2       Install SRB2
-k, -srb2kart   Install SRB2 Kart

You can modify the Setup script to include the required options for your setup.

Example installation for Zandronum and Q-Zandronum (you can use any combination or use -a for all)

sudo bash zangsmsetup.sh -z -q

• Install server files into the ~/zangsm dir. e.g. zandronum-server zandronum.pk3 etc.

• Install IWADs to the ~/zangsm folder as needed e.g. doom2.wad heretic.wad etc.

• Install PWADs in the /zangsm/wads/ folder, supporting mod formats .wad .pk3

• Store server configs in the /zangsm/cfgs/ directory with a .cfg extension.

• Note: Make new server configs from template configs to include all required variables for zangsm.

• Make sure to open ports on your vps host if applicable, and on your firewall.

To run use bash zangsm.sh [option]

Options: 
[-boot conf.cfg...] (Boot one or more servers)
[-list]             (Indexed list of active servers)
[-connect]          (Connect to a server session from list)
	- To detach from the session while leaving it running, press `Ctrl-b` followed by `d`.
	- To detach from session whilst terminating it, press 'Ctrl-d'.
[-kill]             (Kill a specific server from list)"
[-killall]          (Kill all servers)"

Four default configs have been included for each server type you can use these to test boot and to make your own configs from. Find them in ~/zangsm/cfgs/

Example:

bash zangsm.sh -boot doomii.cfg qcde.cfg srb2.cfg srb2kart.cfg
