FYI: Bisounours Party (v5) server on Linux, as of April 2014

Typical SRCDS-on-Linux installation stuff:

- Create a Linux user with a home directory (example: "game-service-account" with home directory "/home/game-service-account").
- Download and install SteamCMD under that user.
- Create an installation folder (example: "/home/game-service-account/bp-server")
- use SteamCMD to install SRCDS with AppID 310 into that folder (example below) <--- As of (at least) 2014-04-03 this now works and now includes Linux binaries!
```
cd ~/steamcmd;
/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home/game-service-account/bp-server +app_update 310 validate +quit;
```

Modified Bisounours Party installation stuff:

- Change into the "installation folder" above (example: "cd /home/game-service-account/bp-server")

- Download the Bisounours Party server distribution (example below)

wget http://www.bisounoursparty.com/bisounoursparty_dedicated.tar.bz2

- Extract the Bisounours Party server distribution (example below)
```
tar -xjvf bisounoursparty_dedicated.tar.bz2 
```
- Note The sub-folder named "orangebox" does not exist any more, and is no longer relevant with this latest SRCDS distribution from SteamCMD.

More typical SRCDS-on-Linux stuff:

- Setup your "autoexec.cfg", "server.cfg" configuration files as any other SRCDS server.
- Be sure to use "-game bpr" in the srcds_run command-line to start the server!

Correction: Do not need to re-name that folder from "bpr" to "bisou" to match the client-side configuration. It may just have been a messed-up client-side issue related to the machine was using for testing.

I did another client installation (from scratch) on another machine, and it's using "bpr".

Just an update, that I have a (linux) BPr server up again, running version 5107 ...

162.248.90.131:6403

I had to set it to VAC "insecure" mode.
In "secure" mode, it kept kicking my client off after a while.

Can't really tell if its working properly otherwise (yet), so far no more than 1 player on at a time.
