TeeWorlds is a free and open-source online multiplayer shooter game. In this tutorial, I'm going to explain how to create a TeeWorlds server. These steps were written for Debian (Ubuntu), but will most likely work on other Linux distros too.

Setting up TeeWorlds

Download the TeeWorlds package to your server. You may check for newer releases on the official site.

If you are using x86_64:

  wget https://downloads.teeworlds.com/teeworlds-0.6.3-linux_x86_64.tar.gz

If you are using x86:

  wget https://downloads.teeworlds.com/teeworlds-0.6.2-linux_x86.tar.gz

Extract the server software.

 tar xfv <package-name>.tar.gz

 cd <extract folder>

 chmod +x teeworlds_srv

Create a configuration file for your TeeWorlds server.

 nano ./config.cfg

Here is a template that you can use:

 sv_name My TeeWorlds Server



 sv_port 8303



 sv_max_clients 16



 sv_map ctf2



 sv_rcon_password MyPass



 sv_scorelimit 500



 sv_timelimit 60



 sv_gametype ctf



 sv_motd MOTD here.

Next, install the screen utility. You must use screen to keep your TeeWorlds server running after disconnecting from your Vultr VPS.

 apt-get install screen

Finally, start your server.

 screen ./teeworlds_srv -f config.cfg

Conclusion

Now you have installed TeeWorlds on your VPS. You will be able to connect to it on port 8303 using the TeeWorlds game client. Enjoy!
