nwn-servermanagement's Introduction

nwn-servermanagement

Generic bash scripts for Neverwinter Nights server management, running nwnx2 on Linux.

The scripts in this repository are generic and only depend on the environment variables specified in the YAML file. No script customization should be necessary in order to use this with any standard nwnx2 server environment.

nwserver is launched in a tmux session which can be shared between users of a specified group.

Dependencies

nwnx2
nwnstartup.sh (shell script to run nwserver with nwnx)
customized YAML file (see default.yml)

Configure

Clone git clone https://github.com/jakkn/nwn-servermanagement.git
Create your own YAML file cd nwn-servermanagement && cp default.yml master.yml
Edit the YAML file to fit the server environment
