[mohaa] MOH:AA Spearhead Linux server ALPHA

[Luke Salsich]

I agree, I had to rename fgamded.so to fgame.so I order to get the code
to load properly. Either this is an oversite on Ryan's part (hey, im not
blaming the guy - he rushed because of my constant whining...lol), or I
have overlooked something. Either way, when I changed the name to
fgame.so it runs great! I can connect and play on it fine! My command
line looks like this, if its any help:

./spearhead_lnx +set dedicated 1 +set g_gametype 5 +exec spearhead.cfg
+map obj/mp_berlin_tow

this is what i did, make sure to run the server with +set dedicated 1 so
that the server runs in server mode not a client (why is it doing this
if no client is to be made available?)

secondly the fgameded.so wasnt be called from by the game, it was
looking for fgame.so so i just made a symbolic link redirecting it. im
sure thats becouse im doing something wrong, but it works for me, right
now i ran into the problem of all the maps having the wrong checksum and
i cannot connect. but i realised my install on my server is not from
2.11 so thats probably why, and i dont feel like uploading all that shit
over my adsl line right now.

hope any of that helps
