Cube 2 Sauerbraten Server Setup Guide

Available in: ESPAÑOL PORTUGUÊS (BRASIL)

This guide covers how to set up and configure your Cube 2: Sauerbraten dedicated server hosted with Legion Hosting. Sauerbraten is a free multiplayer FPS and the successor to the original Cube engine, featuring fast-paced deathmatch and cooperative in-game map editing. For admin commands and server management, see Cube 2: Sauerbraten Admin Guide.

1. Accessing Your Server

  1. Log in to GPanel.
  2. Select your Cube 2: Sauerbraten server from the server list.
  3. Your server IP and port are displayed on the Console tab. See How to Find Your Server IP and Port for details.
Note: Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. Use the port shown in GPanel when connecting.

2. Startup Variables

Configure these settings from the Startup tab in GPanel:

Variable Env Name Default Description
Server Description CUBE_SERVERDESCRIPTION (empty) Server description shown in the server browser.
Max Players CUBE_MAXPLAYERS 4 Maximum players (up to 16). Higher values use significantly more bandwidth.
Master Server CUBE_MASTERSERVER sauerbraten.org Master server for registration and player authentication.
Admin Password CUBE_ADMINPASSWORD (empty) Password for admin/master access on the server.
Bandwidth note: Sauerbraten's bandwidth usage nearly doubles with each additional player. Keep CUBE_MAXPLAYERS reasonable for your server plan.

3. Configuration Files

Sauerbraten uses configuration files in the server directory. The server is primarily configured through startup variables, but you can also create a server-init.cfg file for advanced settings.

Example server-init.cfg:

serverdesc "My Sauerbraten Server"
maxclients 8
publicserver 1
serverpass ""
adminpass "your_admin_password"
Note: Startup variables from GPanel take priority over values in config files for settings they manage.

4. Connecting to Your Server

  1. Download Sauerbraten from sauerbraten.org (free).
  2. Launch Sauerbraten.
  3. Open the server browser and find your server, or open the console (/) and type: /connect [IP] [PORT]

5. First-Time Setup Checklist

  1. Set a CUBE_SERVERDESCRIPTION for the server browser.
  2. Set a strong CUBE_ADMINPASSWORD.
  3. Set CUBE_MAXPLAYERS appropriate for your server plan.
  4. Start the server and verify it shows dedicated server started, waiting for clients...
