Follow these instructions if you wish to host your own Dedicated Server.
If you have the base Voyagers of Nera game in your library, you can find the Dedicated Server build in your library under Tools:
To download the dedicated server build without purchasing the game, you must use SteamCMD, a command line tool often used for downloading dedicated servers. To install from SteamCMD, run
### In steamcmd.exe console
login anonymous
app_update 3937860
While the dedicated server is downloading, you should configure port-forwarding if your host machine is not set up to take inbound traffic from the internet (i.e. become a server).
Voyagers of Nera uses port 7777 by default, so you may need to port-forward port 7777 with protocol UDP from your router to the machine hosting your Dedicated Server.
Dedicated Server settings are configured in different INI files, which are special text files the game uses to configure things like Server Display Name, Passwords, Gameplay Settings, and more. Follow these steps when setting up your server for the first time:
Run your Dedicated Server application, which will generate the initial configuration files for you. Let the app run until you see the folder mentioned in the next step created on your hard drive. Then close the server application.
Locate the folder which contains the INI configuration files at {InstallRoot}\\BoatGame\\Saved\\PersistedData\\nera_dedicatedserver\\CustomConfig\\ in Windows Explorer.
Use the table below to view all existing supported settings. To configure a setting, open the INI file in a text editor application (such as Notepad). Each line will either have a bracketed name like [/Script/BoatGame.BGGameUserSettings] or will look like someKey=someValue. The lines with an = are used to set values of different configurations.
Save any changes to your INI file, and the next time you start your server they will be used!
