S1x Server Install Guide

Requirements:

• A computer or VPS with Windows 10/Server 2019 or newer.
• At least 4GB of RAM for a single server, with another 2GB per server instance you want to host.
• The Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package and the Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (These are included in the S1x 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). For best results, use a wired connection and avoid using a laptop to host servers.
• Some technical knowledge / background knowledge of computers.

Server Setup:

1. Download the S1x 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. Open the redist folder and install all of the prerequisites.
5. Run !updateXLabs.bat to update your server.
6. Carefully review and edit the configuration settings file to your liking. Give it a hostname, gametype, and remove/add maps that you want in the map rotation, etc.
7. Save the server.cfg file you just edited after you are done.
8. 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 additional ports: 27017, 27018, or whatever port you assign to the server.
   • Ensure you also allow the port through Windows Firewall.
9. 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_refraction map mp_lab2 map mp_comeback".
2. Game logging (needed for IW4MAdmin and other administration tools) requires a script to be installed into the s1x/scripts folder.  Without this script, logging simply will not work.
3. 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 S1x.

Server Administration Software:

The latest builds of IW4MAdmin partially support S1x. Not all functions work but full support is planned as the client is further developed. The previously mentioned logging script has to be installed as well for this to function. For downloads and more information, please visit IW4MAdmin.
