Configuration
cd OnsetServer
- Edit the server_config.json file nano server_config.json. Info on the config file: server_config.
nano server_config.json
- Once you are done with editing press CTRL+X and then Y to save the config file.
- Run ./start_linux.sh to start your server. The shell file sets the environment path so the server finds the required SteamAPI files.
Gamemode Packages
Packages make up all of your server. Please see this wiki entry (packages) on how to get started with them.
Game Compatibility Version Number
The parameter "--version" displays server version information. The compatibility number determines what clients can connect. Game and server must have the same compatibility number for the connection to succeed. The version number does not matter in this case.
Command line arguments
The parameter "--help" displays available command line options.
Network Ports
The dedicated server requires 3 network ports to be open.
- UDP 7777 - Game
- UDP 7776 - Server query
- TCP 7775 - HTTP server, file downloads
Ports can be changed in the server_config.
Hostname customization
You can use bbcodes and UTF8 icons in your hostnames.
