The best way to set up a Toribash server is to use command lines with the actual server. You simply point a shortcut to toribash_server.exe, and in the path, you add the command line options to the end.

The server itself is a DOS window, and doesn't accept any commands.

Detailed guide of the command line options:
-p <port> - listen port (20184)
This is simply the port of the server.
-m <frames> - match frames (120)
This is how long each match lasts.
-t <frames> - turn frames (10)
This is amount of frames that pass with each turn.
-r <sec> - reaction time (20)
How long the players have to make their moves.
-f - flags (1=DQ, 2=Decaps, 4=No Grip, 8=Fracture) (3)
See bottom, flags seem to confuse many people, so I have a detailed guide down their.
-s - sumo (0=HF, 1=HF and WA) (0)
These flags determine what is safe from DQ, hands and feet, or hands, feet, wrists and ankles.
-e <cm> - engage distance in centimeters (100)
How far apart Uke and Tori are from each other.
-j <cm> - dojo size in centimeters (0)
How large the dojo is.
-l <percent> - dismember thresh hold (100)
Self explanatory. Higher, less breaks, lower, more breaks.
-c <percent> - fracture thresh hold (0)
Same, but with fracture.
-d <model> - damage model (0=opponent, 1=both, 2=self) (0)
What can you damage?
-o <name> - mod name (classic)
What mod does the server need to use?
-C <clients> - max number of simultaneous clients (12)
Maximum number of people on the server?
-T <sec> - Socket timeout (5)
Not sure, probably how long server waits before kicking someone for no response. In seconds, I believe.
-L <file> - Name of log file
Not quite sure how this works...
-N <name> - Name of server (will show in mutliplayer server desc)
This will override the value people put in servers.txt
-D - Daemonize server
Makes the server a daemon, apparently, meaning there is no window.
-R <pass> - Remote console password
The auth password.
-P - Premium server
Makes it a regged only server.
-A <rounds> - AFK rounds. Player will be kicked if inactive this many rounds after start (3)
Self explanatory.
-M <message> - MOTD, message to display on entry.
-g <number> - Engage height.

_________________________________________________

If the command line isn't too easy to figure out, you can use this little PHP script here: http://jok.novahost.org/suo/servertool.php
_________________________________________________

The flags:
0=None
1=DQ
2=DM
3=DQ+DM
4=NG
5=NG+DQ
6=NG+DM
7=NG+DM+DQ
8=F
9=F+DQ
10=F+DM
11=F+DQ+DM
12=F+NG
13=F+NG+DQ
14=F+NG+DM
15=F+NG+DM+DQ

F = Fracture
DM = Dismemberment
DQ = Disqualification
NG = No grip

_________________________________________________

For -R, it is the server auth password.
/pass <password>
Should display "Authed",
/status
Should display something like:
123 someguy 12.34.56.78 P
246 otherguy 87.65.43.21 P
To kick otherguy:
/kick 246 Some_one_word_of_reason.

To join the server yourself:
Add 127.0.0.1:20184 "my server" to the file servers.txt and you should be able to join it.

To let others join, you must get your own ip, perhaps with:
www.whatismyip.com

Then you take that, and put it like this:
<ip>:<port> "Some server"
Remember this, preferably written down.

Then, if you use a router, forward <port> (search on how to do that), or with a firewall, open said port.

Then tell your friends the <ip>:<port> "Some server"

Common problems:

1. You do not actually have the server running. (Dumb, I know, but I've recieved PMs about it...)
2. Make sure you are registered. (Same, people say "My server won't work" and I ask if they are even regged and they say no, dumb people...)

If you have any troubles though, please tell me, so that I can attempt to figure them out...

Really good tutorial, suo. Helped me a lot. :P This will get stickied very soon...

Very complicated, but worth getting stickied in order to help create more servers of fun on Toribash.

Heh, thanks Hebrew.

Yes, very good tut, puts mine to shame :o.

so good i can't talk...

Umm... Do we have a thread of servers made by other people?
If not, we should make one. Possibly in here?

Well, currently there is not a thread of servers... but I don't think it'd be a good thing to have in the Tutorials section.

I meant in this thread, but using hind sight, I realize it wasn't a good idea for here. Maybe elsewhere though.

That hurt my brain, I'm too dumb to look at that :P
