tells you what the command line options do.
--log-level=domain1,domain2,...

match any log domain. Available levels: error, warn‐
ing, info, debug. By default the error level is used and the

binds the server to the specified port. If no port is specified,
port 15000 will be used.
-t number, --threads number
sets the maximum number of waiting worker threads for network
I/O to n (default: 5, max: 30).
-T number, --max-threads number
sets the maximum number of worker threads that will be created.

SERVER CONFIG
The general syntax is:
[tag]
key="value"
key="value,value,..."
[/tag]
Global keys:
allow_remote_shutdown
If set to no (default), shut_down and restart requests are
ignored unless they come from the fifo. Set it to yes to allow
remote shutdown via a /query by an administrator.
ban_save_file
Full or relative path to a (gzip compressed) file that the
server can read and write. Bans will be saved to this file and
read again on server start.
compress_stored_rooms
Determines whether the rooms file should be read and written to
in compressed form. Defaults to yes.
connections_allowed
The number of allowed connections from the same IP. 0 means
infinite. (default: 5)
disallow_names
Names/nicks that are not accepted by the server. * and ? from
wildcard patterns are supported. See glob(7) for more details.
Default values (used if nothing is specified) are:
*admin*,*admln*,*server*,ai,ai?,computer,human,network,player.
fifo_path
The path to the fifo you can echo server commands into (same as
/query ... from wesnoth). If not specified defaults to the com‐
pile-time path (default: /var/run/socket/wesnothd/socket).
max_messages
The number of allowed messages in messages_time_period.
(default: 4)
messages_time_period
The time period (in seconds) message flooding is detected in.
(default: 10 seconds)
motd The message of the day.
new_room_policy
Determines who can create new rooms on the server. Available
values are everyone, registered, admin and nobody, and give the
permission respectively to everyone, registered users, admin
users or disables new room creation. Default value is everyone.
passwd The password used to gain admin privileges (via /query admin
password).
replay_save_path
The directory where the server stores game replays. (Don't for‐
get the trailing /!) Defaults to `' which means the directory
wesnothd was started in.
restart_command
The command that the server uses to start a new server process
via the restart command. (Can only be issued via the fifo. See
the allow_remote_shutdown setting.)
room_save_file
Path to a file where the room info should be stored. This file
is read on server startup and written to later. If empty or not
set, rooms are not loaded and not saved.
save_replays
Defines whether the server will automatically save replays of
games. (default: false)
versions_accepted
A comma separated list of version strings to be accepted by the
server. * and ? from wildcard patterns are supported. (defaults
to the corresponding wesnoth version)
Example: versions_accepted="*" accepts any version string.
user_handler
The name of the user handler to use. Currently available user
handlers are forum (to connect wesnothd to a phpbb forum data‐
base) and sample (a sample implementation of the user handler
interface, if you use this on anything real you are insane). The
default value is forum. You must also add a [user_handler] sec‐
tion, see below.
Global tags:
[redirect] A tag to specify a server to redirect certain client ver‐
sions to.
host The address of the server to redirect to.
port The port to connect to.
version
A comma separated list of versions to redirect. Behaves
the same way as versions_accepted in regard to wildcard
patterns.
[ban_time] A tag to define convenient keywords for temporary ban time
lengths.
name The name used to reference the ban time.
time The time length definition. The format is:
%d[%s[%d%s[...]]] where %s is s (seconds), m (minutes), h
(hours), D (days), M (months) or Y (years) and %d is a
number. If no time modifier is given minutes (m) are
assumed. Example: time="1D12h30m" results in a ban time
of 1 day, 12 hours and 30 minutes.
[proxy] A tag to tell the server to act as a proxy and forward the con‐
nected client's requests to the specified server. Accepts the same
keys as [redirect].
[user_handler] Configures the user handler. Available keys vary depend‐
ing on which user handler is set with the user_handler key. If no
[user_handler] section is present in the configuration the server will
run without any nick registration service.
db_host
(for user_handler=forum) The hostname of the database
server
db_name
(for user_handler=forum) The name of the database
db_user
(for user_handler=forum) The name of the user under which
to log into the database
db_password
(for user_handler=forum) This user's password
db_users_table
(for user_handler=forum) The name of the table in which
your phpbb forums saves its user data. Most likely this
will be <table-prefix>_users (e.g. phpbb3_users).
db_extra_table
(for user_handler=forum) The name of the table in which
wesnothd will save its own data about users. You will
have to create this table manually, e.g.: CREATE TABLE
<table-name>(username VARCHAR(255) PRIMARY KEY,
user_lastvisit INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
user_is_moderator TINYINT(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0);
user_expiration
(for user_handler=sample) The time after which a regis‐
tered nick expires (in days).
[mail] Configures an SMTP server through which the user handler can
send mail. Currently only used by the sample user handler.
server The hostname of the mail server
username
The user name under which to log into the mail server.
password
This user's password.
from_address
The reply-to address of you mail.
mail_port
The port on which your mail server is running. Default is
25.
