IW6x Server Install Guide

Requirements:

• The Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package and the Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (These are included in the IW6x Dedicated Server torrent linked below).
• Visual Code, Notepad++ or Sublime Text (You may use whatever editor you choose but we don't recommend Windows Notepad).
• Torrent client - (qBittorrent is recommended).
• Computer or VPS that's online 24/7 with a decent connection that has average or above specs (We strongly advise a VPS).
• Some technical knowledge / background knowledge of computers.

Server Setup:

1. Download the IW6x Dedicated Server Full torrent and place it in a location of your choosing on your VPS or PC.
2. Download the X Labs launcher from here and place it into your server folder.
3. Download the server configurations from GitHub, and place the files in the server folder.
4. Run !updateXLabs.bat to update your server.
5. Carefully review and edit the configuration settings file to your liking. Give it a hostname, gametype, and remove/add maps that you want on the rotate, etc.
6. Save the server.cfg file you just edited after you are done.
7. Forward the TCP and UDP port (27016). If you changed the default port or are adding another server, you may need to open the following addition ports: 27017, 27018, etc.
8. Run the start bat for the server you want and it should begin to load.

Known Issues:

1. Currently, g_gametype in server.cfg does not work. Game type must be set in the map rotation. Example: set sv_maprotation "gametype war map mp_prisonbreak map mp_dart".
2. Other issues may exist that are not covered here. This is an initial release, so be aware that you might experience difficulties running dedicated servers for IW6x.

Server Administration Software:

IW4madmin partially supports IW6x. Not all functions work but full support is planned as the client is further developed. For downloads and more more information, please visit IW4MAdmin.
