README
Headless Server
For hosting ongoing dedicated H3MP servers on a seperate Windows PC.
Infomation
This is a specialized plugin for niche hosting, it only provides basic dedicated server hosting functionality. Its funtionality is for basic game setup and running at lowest resources. The performance increase of using a dedicated server to player hosted servers would be negaliable and can't guarentee any performance benefits.
How to Setup Server PC
- Download Steam on your server PC
- Login to your Steam account with H3VR
- Download H3VR (Alpha - Mod Safe Branch)
- Do not download SteamVR, it is not needed
- Run H3VR once, it should take you to the main menu and do nothing, quit H3VR
- Switch Steam to Offline Mode (Top left of steam "Steam > Go Offline...")
- Install R2Modman
- Add the Headless Server plugin and any dependencies it asks for
- Only add mods you need for the server, the less mods the better
- Open the Headless Server Config (R2Modman > Config editor > BepInEx\Config\Packer-Headless\config.json)
- Set your config settings (See below for explanation)
- Start Modded in R2Modman
- You should now be able to navigate the world using WASD and the mouse
- Goto the game Options panel in the main menu and lower your game settings down to Turbo Potato, his will give a minor performance improvement
- Press Right Alt + H to show the server commands in the console window
Questions and Answers
Q: How can I (H3VR interaction)
A: For most things, you can't. You need to use the hotkey commands to perform the basic functions to host the server.
Q: I can't press the buttons using the mouse
A: Mouse pointer functionality is only basic and isn't supported very well, try moving very close to the button (Use mouse scroll to slow down your movement) until you're almost clipping inside of the button.
Q: Can I Kick or Ban players?
A: No, this and H3MP in general is based on the honour system. This is out of scope of such a niche project.
Config
The config is the way we setup automation in the server, its broken down to several settings.
"autoStart": 0,
"logEnabled": 0,
"sceneName": "TakeAndHold_Lobby_2",
"autoCleanupTime": 601,
"autoSceneReloadTime": 14401
autoStart
This is used for automatically Hosting in H3MP and loading into a scene defined by sceneName.
logEnabled
If true the console will log errors and logs as normal, this can be disabled if a server is to run for a long time. It is important that you test the server and make sure it runs smoothly before turning this off.
sceneName
This is the internal scene name of the map you want to load when you use the Hotkey or Auto Start, it default to Take and Hold.
autoCleanupTime
In seconds, how long between automatic server cleanups. Set this to 0 for no auto cleanups (Clients are able to do cleanups)
autoSceneReloadTime
In seconds, how long the game will run before it reloads the sceneName scene. This is to help with any map breaks or crashes that may happen.
