Setting up a server

[Paleo-Chris]

To have your server show up on the internet list, make sure you do the following:

- The easiest way to get the server to run correctly is to give your computer a public IP address.
- Make sure you have ports 64400, 64500, and 64600 opened on any firewalls you have running.


Using a map rotation:
- Start Merchants of Brooklyn normally and click create server.
- The server settings are global for all maps in the rotation.
- The map settings can be different for each map.
- Choose your game type, the map dropdown will be updated with all the maps that support that game type.
- Change any other settings you want the map to have, then click add to add the map to the rotation.
- To change any settings in a map, you must add a new map to the rotation with the new settings, then remove the old one.
- Click apply to save the map rotation, clicking create will save and use the rotation in a non-dedicated server.
- If you would like to use the rotation in a dedicated server, you must click apply to save it, then close the game and open the dedicated server, which can be found in: [Steam install dir]\steamapps\common\merchants of brooklyn\bin32\DedicatedServer.exe.
- Type sv_lanOnly 0, this will make your server an internet server.
- Type g_nextLevel to start the dedicated server using your saved map rotation.


Starting a server without using the rotation:
- Type sv_lanOnly 0, this will make your server an internet server.
- Type sv_gamerules <gamerules>. <gamerules> can be one of the following:
-- DeathMatch
-- TeamDeathMatch
-- DrugWars

- Type map <mapname> into the console or server window. You must have sv_gamerules set to the correct gamerules for the map you're running. These are the maps:
-- Undercity_Casino - DeathMatch
-- Rooftops - DeathMatch, TeamDeathMatch
-- Slums - TeamDeathMatch
-- Slum_Bridges - TeamDeathMatch
-- Prison - TeamDeathMatch
-- Drug_Wars - DrugWars, DeathMatch, TeamDeathMatch

- Be aware that if you start a game this way, after the game ends the server will start using whatever maps you have saved in your map rotation.

There's a lot of information there. It might take a couple of read-throughs to absorb it all.
