Dedicated Server

Overview

A dedicated server is used to run a faster Soldat server without a player in it.

You can do this in two ways:

In the "soldat.ini" file, section NETWORK, find Dedicated=0, change it to Dedicated=1.

Run the game with the parameter -dedicated (Soldat.exe -dedicated). You can use the shortcuts in the Start Menu.

If you want the server to start the game automatically do this:

Run the game normally and enter the menu. Set all the game options (game mode, time limit, map list etc.)

Quit the game and the settings will be saved

Run Soldat with parameters -dedicated -start

Remote administration

Players from outside the server can control it. To give this option to a player add him to the Remote Admins list. The commands for this are described here COMMANDS.

Game Port:

• Important! If you have a firewall you should open the UDP game ports
• Default Port: 23073 for the server (can be changed in Soldat Setup), client uses a default port: 23083 (can't be changed)
• There is an option to join firewall servers without opening the ports, but only through the lobby server (through the server list - forwarding).

The Soldat server uses the following ports:

• UDP: game port (default 23073)
• TCP/IP: admin port = game port (default 23073)
• TCP/IP: files port = game port + 10 (default 23083)
