:rocket: Installation

Requirements

Piqueserver requires Python 3.10 and above

We currently provide builds for:

• Linux x86_64

• Windows x86 and x86_64

If your system is not one of the above, you will also need a recent C++ Compiler.

pip (stable version)

pip3 install piqueserver

Optional features:

• ssh: enable ssh manhole server support

• from: enable the from command to geolocate players by ip

To install with optional features with pip:

pip3 install piqueserver[ssh,from]

git (bleeding edge)

git clone https://github.com/piqueserver/piqueserver
cd piqueserver
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

pip install .

# now `piqueserver` will be available on the $PATH when venv is active

Arch Linux

The AUR package (git master) is currently broken. When it gets repaired (you can help!), you’ll be able to install manually or with your favourite AUR helper:

pacaur -S piqueserver-git

:rocket: Running

Then copy the default configuration as a base to work off

piqueserver --copy-config

A-a-and lift off!

piqueserver

Custom config location

If you wish to use a different location to ~/.config/piqueserver/ for config files, specify a directory with the -d flag:

piqueserver --copy-config -d custom_dir
piqueserver -d custom_dir

:speech_balloon: FAQ

What’s the purpose?

The purpose of this repo is to be a continuation of PySnip.

What if PySnip development returns?

Then they would merge our changes and development would be continued there, I guess. The important thing is to keep AoS servers alive.

Why should I use piqueserver instead of PySnip/PySpades?

• Multi config installation

• Docker support

• Bug fixes

• Improvements

• Better anti-hacking

• New scripts

What about 0.76 support

Working with multiple versions is a pain. 0.76 will be suported in the future only.

Is that everything?

Please see also the Online Documentation for more information (readthedocs.io has replaced our wiki).

Where can i find more scripts?

You can checkout the Piqueserver Extras Repository, that contains scripts made by the community and ports from PySnip/PySpades script. Or in community forums, such as: aloha.pk and BuildAndShoot

Don’t be shy and submit us a PR or an issue! Help is always appreciated

:wrench: Development

Use python3 and pip to setup the development environment:

$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -e '.[dev]' # install in-place
(venv) $ deactivate # Deactivate virtualenv
