A Question Only for the Ones That know (Brave Tree Programmers)

I have a question, My Father is trying to create a dedicated server by providing the nessesary information into a site that will host the data to the main server which is run in a linux program.

My question is, will I need to transfer just the Torque Game engine, or all the files of TT, and if it's just the TGE,What software do u need to load into a linux srever??

Clarification:
What is required to load Think Tanks onto a Linix Server to make it a server for hosting games? In this case the server will be a web host at a specific URL.

All that is need to run ThinkTanks on a Linux server is the Linux version of ThinkTanks. You can download it from the 'my garage' link. You will see the games you own. Click on the download link next to ThinkTanks and choose the Linux version.

Yeah, test out the save as. The files are hosted on Homelan and server does not appear to have the settings to let your browser know it is not just a huge text file. If that does not work, email us at support@bravetree.com and we will see what we can do about getting you a linux build.

That'll be great, but one thing I forgot to mention is that I'm using a windows 98 computer, not linux, so I need to find a way to change the language of my files from windows to linux.

I hope there's still a way to work this out.
