Thanks for those links! Anyway i am trying to host a local server with the new Frigate's update, is there a template for that?

Not really. However you can build your own ship presets now.

I'm assuming an i7-4770K @ 4/4.4GHz could run as a holdfast server? Even if it is a little old?

Yes. That one is still quiet good, especially since you can overclock it.

Can you show me your config?
Make sure to open the ports on your firewall.

I meant I needed the .bat content and the server config (.txt) file.

sorry,.bat =

Code: [Select]

start "vapuriloadtester.exe" /affinity 3 "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\vapuriloadtester.exe" -s --serverConfigFilePath "serverconfig_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --outputLog "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_output\outputlog_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --adminCommandLogFilePath "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_adminactions\adminactions_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --logArchivesDirectory "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_archive"
and config =

Code: [Select]

server_port 20244
steam_communications_port 8857
steam_query_port 27244


server_name JOJO CHU
server_welcome_message Welcome
server_region china

sorry,

No worries .

.bat =

Code: [Select]

start "vapuriloadtester.exe" /affinity 3 "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\vapuriloadtester.exe" -s --serverConfigFilePath "serverconfig_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --outputLog "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_output\outputlog_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --adminCommandLogFilePath "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_adminactions\adminactions_newserver7_meleearena.txt" --logArchivesDirectory "C:\holdfast_naw_public_servers\logs_archive"

Add "--serverheadless" to the end, that will make the empty black window disappear.

and config =

Code: [Select]

server_port 20244

Open port 20244, 8857 and 27244 on your firewall (TCP&UDP). If you are hosting this on your home pc make sure to also setup port forwarding from your router to your machine with these ports as well.

Quick question that's been bothering me for some time --

Why on earth would you guys make it so that all the game servers for this game contact the lobby server at a hardcoded IP address? CNAME or subdomain (i.e. lobby.holdfastgame.com) would be much safer if you ever need migrate off of Hetzner's network or are forced to change IP's/servers for some reason down the road. You'd be able to update the DNS of that subdomain much easier than having EVERY server owner update their config to point to a new IP address in order to have their server listed.

Note: "94.130.66.231" - is the holdfast lobby server IP (masterserver).

I wasn't the one who made the decision (I wasn't part of the team back then). However, I do know that it will in fact default to a FQDN (anvilstudios.eu) if the IP should ever become unreachable/reject the connection.

Ohh okay. Wasn't aware of the fallback, so that's good so you guys can set up a temporary lobby service on that server or proxy it elsewhere if necessary. Likely won't be a major issue, just had me puzzled when I first encountered that since it didn't appear to be fault tolerant at all. Thanks for the quick response!
