Actually, I just went through this process, with good results. Course, then I
failed to follow through and actually run a server.
I managed to track down one of the guys running a linux Ship server, Feldi, who
had a modified linux (i686 only) binary. Quick binary diff between the release
and
The only thing I have my bin folder is server_i486.so
I was going to find a hex editor and poke around - it doesn't sound like
exact rocket science, I only point this out because the prefix is
different, I might be in the wrong folder?
I have server_i486, and you gave me engine_i686, I'm sure
Through the power of dicking around I have realized it goes in the
/steam/bin/ folder.
I'm testing it now but just so I can get confirmation - wouldn't this mess
up any other server I'm running, like CS:S, TF2, etc?

I'm pretty sure that The Ship utilises its own engine. The CS:S engine
lives in /steam/css/bin/, and I'm not sure where tf goes (possibly
/steam/orangebox/bin).
Either way, you're fine putting the engine there (have you checked whether
it works?)

Sounds like you need to look at how you installed it.
I did so with this command:
./steam -command update -game ship -dir theship
Thus, I have folders like such:
./theship/bin
./theship/ship/bin
The engine_i686.so file resides in theship/bin (again, theship is because of
what i specified as
yeah I did -dir .
I replaced the /steam/bin/engine_i686.so file with the patched one posted
earlier and it seems to be working. My TF2, CS:S, and ricochet (probably
not effected by this) servers seem good, they are letting people connect to
them and whatnot.
And The Ship server now gets past
Is there anyone who runs a Ship server on linux?
The problem I'm running into is that it just freezes, stops before it
gets very far.
I've done some research but the best I can find is threads leading nowhere
and some strange report that it needs updated binaries, something about
master servers?

This is as far as I got. Valve changed you connect to the master servers a
long while back, the devs never updated it for linux, and the only solution
was on a forum long dead.
The only other option I have is to try running wine :(
