o The Newbie Server was created to give new players a place to play.
  Before, their only choices were playing on an empty server or
  playing on a "normal" pickup server and facing ejection from irate
  clues.

o It's main function technically is to keep the server full with
  robots.  When humans join, robots are ejected to make room for them.
  The default is to keep the server full with at least 15
  players/robots; this number is configurable in newbiedefs.h.  The
  source for the robots is in the robotd/ directory.

o Setting up a newbie server requires some manual configuration.  Make
  the following edits before compiling (don't include the comments
  beginning with "//"):


configure.h.in:
--
#undef VOTING // Don't allow ejection of newbies.  No need for any voting.

robots/newbiedefs.h:
--
If you are going to run the bots on the same machine as the server
this file should be fine as is.  If not then have a look at
README.basep and basepdefs.h and edit this file accordingly.  Don't
bother running the bots on another server until proven that your
server can't handle it.  You can also reduce the number of robots the
server keeps running via MIN_NUM_PLAYERS.

If the gethostname() call in newbie.c returns the wrong thing then
define TREKSERVER to something appropriate.  Shouldn't be necessary
unless you are multihoming.

robotd/robot.c:
--
_state.human = 3;  // Make robots easy to kill.  Change from default of 0.


o Compile and install the server according to the instructions in the
  INSTALL file.

o Edit sysdef in the /etc directory and set NEWBIE=1.

o Edit ports in the same directory as sysdef.

  Uncomment these lines:
  3592 ntserv "ntserv" -q 10
  2592 ntserv "ntserv" -q 9

  and comment this line:
  2592 ntserv "ntserv"

TODO: Automate the following:

o Run "make" under robotd/

o Make an "og" directory under your server directory.  This is where
  the robot executable will go.

  Example:  mkdir /your_server_installation/og

o Copy the "robot" executable under robotd to the "og" directory.

  Example:  cp robotd/robot /your_server_installation/og

Start your server as normal.  After the first player joins, the server
should start filling up with robots.
