1. Unzip the file on your local PC.

2. Upload all the contens of silent folder to your server FTP next to etmain folder.

1. Backup old etmain and silent folders if you have them but do not delete the etmain folder.

4a. Start your Windows server with command line "etded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game silent +exec silent.cfg".

4b. Start your Linux server with command line "etded +set dedicated 2 +set fs_game silent +set fs_homepath /path/to/your/et/ +exec silent.cfg".

fs_basepath ; This is the path to the installation of the Enemy Territory. From this path, the etded.x86/etded.exe is found.

fs_homepath ; This is the path where the Enemy Territory will save your config files and downloaded pk3 files. For Linux server, this path is often set to some location as fs_basepath. In Windows, the fs_basepath and fs_homepath points always to the same location. For silEnT database, it is important that this is set so that the database path can be constructed to the valid location.

fs_game ; This is the path to the mod folder under the fs_basepath from where the mod files are loaded.

dedicated ; This value tells the type of the server to spawn. Value 2 means dedicated internet server. Value 1 means dedicated LAN server.

com_hunkMegs ; This value tells how much memory the spawned ET server should allocate for it's use. Note that this value is latched and can not be changed when the server is running.

In linux, the fs_homepath is by default a hidden folder at the user home directory. If this path is not set to the server installation, the silEnT will not be able to function fully. This value is usually set to have the same value as the fs_basepath.

Often the default com_hunkMegs setting (56) is not enough for a customized server. Increase this value to avoid problems.
