Hello,

Tons of bugs but its alpha.

 

Need Steam to run dedicated servers =/

 

Going to check CPU usage prob like a source game like TF2

Trance, how'd you get your server running? I tried getting mine going, but it gave me a PhysXLauncher.dll is missing, and well once I copied it over from my computer to the dedicated machine it simply gave a failed to initialize error :/

 

During this process my steam account was logged in and I was trying to run it from the Steam install folder.

You can install Physx and Directx (shouldn't need directx) from the NS2 files without using the Steam install.

 

Then read the Dedicated_Server_Usage.txt

The server stores its settings in the file: %APPDATA%/Natural Selection 2/server.xml

If the file does not exist, it will create a default copy the first time it is run.

The server options can be changed in the file manually, or they can be 
specified individually on the command line (those changes will be saved by default.)

Optional command line settings are:

 -file [path] (allows you to specify a different configuration file for server settings)
 -name [name] (specifies the server name to be shown in the server browser)
 -map [name] (specifies the map to load)
 -ip [address]
 -port [number] (default is 27015)
 -limit [number]
 -lan [1 or 0, or true/false] (specifies how/if this map shows up in the master server list - default is false)
 -password [optional]
 -save [1 or 0, or true/false] - (specifies whether to save out command line overrides - default is true)

Examples:

 Server.exe -map ns2_tram -limit 32 -lan false
 Server.exe -file "c:\my servers\config.xml" -map ns2_rockdown -lan true -save false

 

Example server.xml

<options>
   <lanGame>false</lanGame>
   <mapName>ns2_tram</mapName>
   <password></password>
   <port>27015</port>
   <serverName>LowPingGameServers.com</serverName>
   <address>ip.ip.ip.ip</address>
   <playerLimit>16</playerLimit>
</options>

were you able to get it running without steam?

[lpgservers]

Nope, it requires Steam and I even tried the work around that was employed for Alien Swarm. Waiting on a patch for the game before I do anything further with it. I couldn't join a server last night either and that was ridiculous.

[trancemode]

yeah game is TOO buggy lol . oh well starcraft 2 it is for now haha

[lpgservers]

Yep, I let it go for now until they get some non steam needed files and get the buggy game fixed so the servers aren't constantly getting crashed. I've yet to actually get to check the game out...
