PROPER UPDATING PROCEDURE

I accidentally gave incomplete instructions for updating the Darkflame Server software at 59:22. Please refer to these complete instructions for updating your server, if needed (do not include the numbers in your commands). Be sure to stop the game server first.

Note: This may take the full length of the building procedure that occurs at 28:35 in the tutorial, so if your server is not very powerful you should wait to update until you need to.

  1. sudo apt update
  2. sudo apt upgrade -y
  3. cd ~/DarkflameServer
  4. git pull
  5. git submodule update ‐‐init ‐‐recursive
  6. ./build.sh -j2
    • The -j2 is optional if your server/VM is powerful enough
    • Don’t forget the period before the slash!

Wait for the build script to finish, then you can start the server as normal and continue playing!


Changes to Masterconfig.ini

At 40:28 in the video, I instruct you to change the “use_sudo_auth” value in masterconfig.ini. Recent versions of Darkflame Server no longer require this setting, so you will not find these lines in the file. This step can be safely skipped.
