Night of the Dead Dedicated Server Guide

Prerequisites

64-bit Windows

(Linux is not currently supported. I'm currently working on it.)

4 GB available space

Memory: 16 GB RAM

Install

Install SteamCMD on your host (SteamCMD Download Link)

Launch SteamCMD on your host and use it to download the server files.(Remove the < > and replace them with double quotes, for example, force_install_dir "C:\NOTDServer")

(app id : 1420710)

Steam> force_install_dir <install_dir>

Steam> login anonymous

Steam> app_update 1420710 validate

Steam> exit

If you want to install a version of non-default branch, please refer to the following.

app_update <app_id> [-beta <betaname>] [-betapassword <password>] [validate]

ex) app_update 1420710 -beta beta validate

Port

We basically use the two ports below.

UDP 27015 : Game query port

UDP 7777 : Game client port

Set the ports as an exception in the firewall.

Open these ports through Port-Forwarding.

To learn more about port forwarding and firewalls,

we recommend Google with the following keywords.

keywords : port forward game, open windows firewall port

If you would like to change the port you are using, the next step will explain how to change the port.

Host

In the installed folder, open "ServerSettings.ini" to edit as desired.

Please change the default in each section to the desired value.

for example :

Save file location : <install_dir>\LF\Saved\SaveGames

You can save and load the save file by matching SaveName (in [SystemSettings]) and the save in the above location.

Run StartServer.bat

a. (Optional) If you want, you can edit StartServer.bat to change which port you use.(for example : LF\Binaries\Win64\LFServer.exe ?listen -log -Port=7779 -QueryPort=27016)

Play

You can find servers in START GAME->MULTIPLAYER->DEDICATED SERVER

You can find servers in Steam->View->Servers

You can also find servers via IP in Favorites.
