Those with the knowledge to run servers will need no further explanation than the comments in this script 
#!/bin/bash
# cwdedsvr v0.13 by haarp
# Released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later
# Run the Windows Crysis Wars dedicated server (+ mod) with Wine, requiring no X server
# The Crysis Wars server console will be available through ncurses on the controlling terminal
# Requirements: Linux, recent 32bit wine (verified with 1.8.3), screen is also highly recommended
# Howto:
# - Remove the '.wine' directory in your user's home, if it exists already
# - Create the directories '.wine' and '.wine/drive_c' in your user's home
# - Place a working Crysis Wars installation somewhere below drive_c, e.g. 'drive_c/CrysisWars'
# - For MWLL: Make sure the 'MWLL' directory under 'Mods/' is uppercase
# - Put this script into a file, adjust the paths (see PATHS below) and make it executable
# - Think of a short name for the server (avoid spaces!)
# - The server's root dir will be SERVERS_DIR/servername (see PATHS below), create it!
# - Put server.cfg, levelrotation.xml, etc. in it. Logs and stuff will also end up in there
# - You can also put a 'common.cfg' into this dir, which will be executed before server.cfg
# - Run this script without arguments for usage information
# - Useful info for server configuration:
# http://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php?title=Dedicated_Server
# The following env variables can be set to override those defined below:
# - WINEPREFIX
# - CRYDIR
### PATHS AND SETTINGS (change me! avoid very long paths!) -------------------------------------------------------
CRY_DIR="CrysisWars" # Crysis Wars install dir, relative to Wine's drive_c
SERVERS_DIR="Servers" # Container for root dirs of servers, relative to Wine's drive_c
MOD="MWLL" # The mod, empty quotes for no mod (case-sensitive!)
EXECFILE="" # Optional script to exec between server restarts (e.g. map installs)
# Positional args passed: $1=serverdir | $2=crydir | $3=modname
### RUNTIME PATHS (leave these be!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
servername="$1"
serverdir="${WINEPREFIX:-$HOME/.wine}/drive_c/$SERVERS_DIR/$servername" # Full path to root dir of current server
serverdir_win="C:/$SERVERS_DIR/$servername" # Same, in Windows format
##crydir="${WINEPREFIX:-$HOME/.wine}/drive_c/${CRYDIR:-$CRY_DIR}" # Full path to Crysis Wars dir
crydir="${CRYDIR:-$serverdir/crydir}"
pidfile="$serverdir/.wine.pid" # Contains $wine_pid; file exists -> server running
autofile="$serverdir/.automode" # File exists -> Auto-mode enabled

# ChangeLog:
# 0.13:
# -WARSDIR is CRYDIR now
# 0.12:
# -Thorough overhaul for modern Wine:
# - Xvfb not necessary anymore
# - no more wineserver handling (leak fixed)
# - multilib (bugged)
# - No more .net/mono freezes
# -WARSDIR override through env variable possible
# -Easier paths
# 0.11:
# -Tweaks and fixes for Debian 8/9
# -Now supports 64bit servers (sorta)
# 0.10.2:
# -Better EXECFILE handling
# 0.10.1:
# -Better WINEPREFIX handling
# 0.10.0:
# -Added support for optional common.cfg
# -Now records wineserver_pid to ensure correct memory usage display
# 0.9.3:
# -Disabled Xvfb listening on TCP port (wasn't needed, improves security)
# 0.9.2:
# -Modified script so each server spawns its own Xvfb
# 0.9.1:
# -Added EXECFILE capability
# 0.9:
# -Turned the servername into a commandline argument
# 0.8.4:
# -Small tweaks
# -Reverted port and rcon to reside inside server.cfg again
# 0.8.2:
# -$pidfile now points to the actual CrysisWarsDedicatedServer.exe PID
# 0.8:
# -Can run several servers on one machine now
# 0.7.1:
# -Long command line no longer runs the risk of getting truncated by Wine
# -Requirement for xprop removed again
# 0.7:
# -Major overhaul of documentation comments
# -More checks
# -Defeated the Gecko dialog once and for all
# -Running without mod (vanilla) now possible
# 0.6.2:
# -Minor tweaks
# -Mod selection now possible via variable
# 0.6.1:
# -Script now checks whether Xvfb started correctly and displays its output if not
# -Automatically find free X display starting at :10 instead of hardcoding :90
# -Added 'debug' command line option to show Wine log instead of server console
# 0.6:
# -Crysis server console is now available on the controlling terminal
# -Revised the entire script for increased durability
# -Added a ton of explanations and infos
# -Added and clarified usage (command-line options)
# -Put paths into variables for easier customization
# -Extracted port and RCON settings into variables
# -Removed dependency on xvfb-run and at the same time slightly improved performance
# -Will no longer kill all instances of Xvfb, only the one it spawned itself
# -Will no longer kill all instances of Wine, only CrysisWarsDedicatedServer.exe
# BUG: Resize wineconsole ncurses window with controlling terminal (Wine bug 30193)
# BUG: Server console cursor disappears when running inside screen
# BUG: Using HTTP RCon can sometimes lag or even hang the server. Wine bug?
# LIMIT: Wine truncates very long command lines. I would write the cmd into a file
# and execute it with cmd /c, but that seems to crash the server after mapload (?!)
