Example

This is an example, how a configuration file can look like:

server_password=12345
num_players=12
port=25111

shuffle_maps=1
map_count=2
name0=dm1
warmup0=30
duration0=10
name1=dm2

Save this file as eg. server_dm.conf. Run the dedicated build of goatattack with that configuration file as parameter:

$ goatattack server_dm.conf
