How to set up dedicated server &client on same PC

Recommended Posts

How do i set up a dedicated server on my PC so it can run with the client as well? I've seen numerous "there are plenty of guides" in plenty of answers, yet all they do is link to long gone sites and dead ends...

I'm searching since 2 hours and haven't found a single guide that covers the important details.

What parameters do i have to use for the executables? how do i command my dedicated server (i used the server exe that comes with the game), is there some kind of console for commands?

It's all there, basically. I just did it yesterday for the first time, for testing purposees, and it took me less than five minutes. So there's nothing really difficult about it.

Only thing you really need is to make sure you load a server.cfg file.

How do i set it up as lan server? How should i distribute the cores (quadcore)?

I advise you to use 2 cores (that's the minimal IMO). For the LAN, so, I guess your server gets a local IP and will available from this IP Pool only.

When a player wants to join, just click on "Distant", fill the ip field and go. BTW, you can also click on "LAN" to see local servers, but doesn't work always.

For the rest, BlackMamb has mentionned everything you need ;)
