Setup
Linux
We have been testing our build on a machine running Ubuntu 17.04. Just copying the server files, make sure the server has the correct permissions and run:
LinuxServer\Battalion\Binaries\Linux\BattalionServer
Windows
Just unpack/copy the server files to your desired location and run:
WindowsServer\Battalion\Binaries\Win64\BattalionServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
Launching
Launching the server is currently not as intuitive as we'd like. Below is an example of how we run our Linux version at the studio (Windows would have the same parameters):
./Battalion/Binaries/Linux/BattalionServer /Game/Maps/Final_Maps/Derailed?Game=/Script/ShooterGame.BombGameMode?listen -broadcastip="<EXTERNAL_IP>" -PORT=8020 -QueryPort=8023 -log -logfilesloc="/home/bulkbuild/logs" -userdir="/home/bulkbuild/userdir" -defgameini="/home/bulkbuild/DefaultGame.ini"
You are required to add a map & mode but this is NOT USED. So in our case "/Game/Maps/Final_Maps/Derailed?Game=/Script/ShooterGame.BombGameMode?listen" is only used to start the server.
