Cube 2: Sauerbraten: connect to and set up your server

Here's how to connect to your Cube 2: Sauerbraten server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
3. Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
4. Open the console in Cube 2 (press T and start with /) and enter /connect IP Port (space instead of colon).

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

• Server description (CUBE_SERVERDESCRIPTION) – name in the server list.
• Max. players (CUBE_MAXPLAYERS) – default 4 – each extra player needs noticeably more bandwidth.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

• The portal generates the admin password automatically. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please note it down.
• The first start takes a few minutes because the game (~1 GB) is downloaded.
