Rome at War: Dedicated Server Hosting Guide
Hi I see you would like to host a server, you need good internet connection and not everyone can host depending on certain factors as that.
1. Download the Official Server files via: Taleworlds.com -> Mount & Blade Warband Tab -> Downloads sub section and click on -> Other Downloads Dedicated Server: It will take a few minutes.
2. When the download is complete (This works for me) Get a Extracting program like WinRAR or Peazip and extract the archive to
In Windows Explorer PC root directory: (Steam Ver)
C:\ -> Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Mount & Blade Warband and extract directly into your main game directory like this!
3. The Dedicated Server files when extracted will be a new folder in M&B W directory. What you want to do now is download the module you wish to host:
http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,247620.0.html
And now extract the mod:
C:\ -> Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Mount & Blade Warband -> (The dedicated server hosting folder now) -> Modules (I believe it won't work without the specific module in the modules folder of the dedicated server hosting files.
Also for the mod extract to:
C:\ -> Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Mount & Blade Warband -> Modules
4. Now for the Server set up this part is slightly tricky first time (I now have a copy to share of the Dedicated server files for Rome at War and more mods soon)
Dedicated Server Hosting Copy
This in the spoiler tag is the dedicated server hosting file copy now to the following:
Go to your M&B W dedicated server hosting folder
Once open you will see the text files and attached batch files for all the Native Game modes. What i did was copy a Battle mode text (.txt) file and changed it up.
Now do the following:
4a. Copy a Sample_Battle_Mode .txt file for the mod and paste a copy of it with the other .txt and batch files.
4b. It will be Sample_Battle_Mode_Copy or so rename the file to the following -> RaW_Server_cfg (cfg for configuration)
4c. Now go to your RaW_Server_cfg f.txt file and right click select edit and open the file in notepad or so.
4d Then Delete everything in your RaW .txt file and paste EVERYTHING ^ ^ In the spoiler text above.
4e. Now you can use non fancy characters to fill in the Dedicated Server file:
Ex:
4f. Now that the Server_cfg is set SAVE the edits. Also keep the space between EX: set_team_point_limit 10 (keep the space everytime)
4g. Now for the part i had to trial and error test COPY the Battle mode Batch file and make a copy like the cfg .txt file
(Batch file is the file with the little mechanism icon on it that actually runs the server)
4h. Now rename the batch file to RaW_Server_start
4j. Now for the easy part of connecting the two files to each other EDIT the batch file like this:
Reform your Batch file to look like the following below in the spoiler tag:
This is your correct module (-m) version and the correct batch file connected to the .txt file for your server!
4k Next, RUN the batch file Raw_Server_start that you created it will be in a system 32 black window and you have to keep both windows up to run both parts of the server on your computer/laptop.
Finally open ports and and make sure your friends can see the server in the server list.
Note: Do not forget the .txt attachment!
Any questions?
