Tron 2.0 Server (Docker)

This repository provides a Dockerized Tron 2.0 dedicated server. Tron 2.0 (Monolith, 2003) ships a Windows-only stand-alone server, TRONSrv.exe, with its 1.042 update. The image runs it under Wine. The image builds on lancommander/wine. It supports file overlaying using OverlayFS.

---

Features

• Runs TRONSrv.exe -config <name>, which hosts right away with no dialog
• Server name, port, game type, map rotation, limits and passwords are environment variables, written into the server configuration (ServerData\<name>.txt) on every start
• All five multiplayer game types: Disc Arena, Disc Tournament, Light Cycles, and the 1.042 update's Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch
• Loads the 1.042 update's content and mods (e.g. the Killer App Mod) the way the game client does
• TRONSrv is a GUI app, so it runs on a virtual display (Xvfb)
• GameSpy \status\ queries on the game port for monitoring
• Supports file overlaying using OverlayFS (no file copying required)

Game Files

Tron 2.0 is retail software with no public download. You must provide a v1.042 install (retail with the 1.042 update, or the GOG release), the folder that contains TRONSrv.exe, server.dll, Game.rez, Game2.rez, Sound.rez, gamep5.rez and gamep6.rez:

• copy that folder to config/Server/, or
• set TRON2_ARCHIVE_URL to a zip of that folder, e.g. a LANCommander archive. It is downloaded and extracted on first start, if Server/TRONSrv.exe doesn't exist yet. The Killer App Mod installer (ka_mod_v1x1a_setup.exe) and KAModBackups/ are not extracted.

The server doesn't need Movies/.

Environment Variables

These are in addition to the WINE image's variables. The TRON2_* server settings are written into ServerData\<TRON2_CONFIG>.txt on every start. Settings left empty are not touched, so you can set them in that file instead. Limits and the map list apply to the section of the selected game type.

TRON2_CONFIG	Server configuration, ServerData\<name>.txt (-config). Created with the game's defaults if missing	lancommander
TRON2_SERVER_NAME	ServerName	Tron 2.0

TRON2_GAME_TYPE	discarena, disctournament, lightcycles, deathmatch, teamdeathmatch, or 4-8 (GameType)	discarena
