This video aims to guide you in setting up a server for Sauerbraten on Ubuntu 12.04.
Sauerbraten is a First Person shooting game that runs on Linux, Mac and Windows.
It is a game and a game engine in one package.

I may not be pronouncing Sauerbraten correctly, my apologies if so.

Steps:
First make sure you have Sauerbraten installed. It can be found in the Ubuntu Software Center.

1. Port forward your ports in your router. Usually you can open your routers
page at 192.168.1.1
The port range is 28785-28786
The protocol is UDP

2. (Optional) Edit your server-init.cfg file.
In Ubuntu 12.04, this can be located under your Home directory.
View, then Show Hidden Files. Look for .sauerbraten (with the dot).
In there, there will initially be NO server-init.cfg file. Make one yourself.
Right click New Document, then click on Empty Document.
Name it server-init.cfg
Here's my cfg file

3. Open a terminal. This is where we will run the server from.
Type in the command as follows:
sauerbraten -d

To close the server when you're done with it, hit Control + C
Congrats you know how to setup a Sauerbraten server!
