Wesnoth is a open source fantasy, turn-based strategy game.

This guide follows installation and configuration of game server (wesnothd)

## Installation

This will install wesnoth itself and other wesnoth-related deamons such as wesnothd.

    $ doas pkg_add wesnoth


Afterwards, enable and start wesnoth deamon and set required flags:

    $ doas rcctl enable wesnothd
    $ doas rcctl set wesnothd flags -d -c /etc/wesnothd.conf
    $ doas rcctl start wesnothd


If you want to host your server on some port besides default (15000), change the second line to:

    $ doas rcctl set wesnothd flags -d -p 12345 -c /etc/wesnothd.conf 


## Configuration

Generally, wesnothd should work without any configuration. \\

However, you might change these following options on /etc/wesnothd.conf \\

For more options please see wesnothd(6) manual page. \\

Generally, wesnothd config looks like this:

    [tag]
     key="value"
    [/tag]


### Global

this is the main tag. these options might be on interest for you. remove or change ones you don't want.

    [global]
     connections_allowed="8"
     passwd="WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong"
     versions_accepted="1.16"
    [/global]


`connections_allowed` sets maximum number of clients (players) connected to server. \\

`passwd` is password for doing admin opertions, such as kicking somebody.

and `versions_accepted` is used for limiting client versions you are going to allow on this server.

## Redirect and proxy

Redirect tag is used for redirecting users of one server to another.

it takes following arguments:

    [redirect]
     host="server.wesnoth.org"
     port="1500"
     version="1.16"
    [/redirect]


You could also setup a relay wesnothd, which is acts as middle man between your server and other server. \\

It takes same arugments as `[redirect]` but with `[proxy]` tag instead.
