awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Quick Guide to DCS Dedicated Servers General notes: •The Web Gui is available via the ED website, but for it to work you have to configure port forwarding for the webgui port as detailed below •You cannot connect to the webgui on your LAN via IP. You can only do it by opening the \WebGui\index.html file. • When you use the --norender switch you will ONLY see the DCS splash screen. You won’t see the game launch as you normally would. • To access the web gui, go to this link and log in with your DCS account. The account you log in with has to be the same as the one you’re running the dedicated server with. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/server/ • You CAN run a server and play the game client with the same DCS account. • You can run multiple instances of the dedicated server under the same DCS account. Single Instance Before doing anything else, start up DCS, and create a new multiplayer server. Fill out the server settings via the game GUI, paying attention to the PORT you want the game to listen on. You will need this later. This will also create the serverSettings.lua file which is important (see the comment at the bottom of this post). Create a desktop shortcut for DCS with the following in the ‘Target’ field, change the paths accordingly: “c:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world\dcs.exe” --server --norender Port Forwarding: You will need to forward two different ports through your router for the server and webgui to work: Port for DCS, the default is 10308 Port for the WebGUI, the default is 8088 These ports can be changed to whatever you prefer, have a look below at the autoexec.cfg and serverSettings.lua file details. That's where you can change these ports. Multi-Instance Create multiple shortcuts as detailed above, but add the following switch to the shortcut: -w The shortcut should be (examples) “c:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world\bin\dcs.exe” –server –norender -w instance1 “c:\program files\eagle dynamics\dcs world\bin\dcs.exe” –server –norender -w instance2 The -w flag will create a new directory structure under your saved games folder: c:\users\\saved games\dcs world\instance1 c:\users\\saved games\dcs world\instance2 Inside the ‘instance’ folders will be stored the config files relevant to the instance itself. There are 2 files that are most important: Instance\config\autoexec.cfg Instance\config\serverSettings.lua If you’re running more than one instance, you need to add the following line into the autoexec.cfg for every instance. Without this, the WebUI won't work. webgui_port = 12345 You can choose any port you like, it doesn’t matter. Just remember to set up the relevant port forwarding rules on your router! serverSettings.lua This file determines how the server runs, it holds all the settings you would usually set via the game gui in terms of missions, log settings etc. The simplest way I have found to generate this file is to run the game with --webgui -w This will load the game normally. Configure the server via the game gui and start the server up. Once that’s done you will see the serverSettings.lua file appear in the instance/config directory. Then you can stop the server and use the --server --norender options again. Edited March 7, 2019 by awjudge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkipperSMG Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks for your summary. Do you have a clue why my DCS starts as usual as client when i run the shortcut with the particular parameters? i5-2400 | 16GB Corsair XMS3 | MSI GTX 970 4GB | 500GB Samsung 850 Evo | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog | Saitek Rudder Pedals | Windows 10 64 bit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks for your summary. Do you have a clue why my DCS starts as usual as client when i run the shortcut with the particular parameters? What happens if you start in from a cmd.exe prompt instead? It might be something to do with the syntax of the shortcut path...

awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Can you post a dcs.log from when you try starting the server. And to clarify, this loads the full game, not just a splash screen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just a note. If you’re only running a single instance you don’t need the -w flag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Excellent Tutorial .. :) .. thanks. I first tried the dedicated Server on my Gaming PC, running both the Server instance and my regular DCS client on the same PC with no problem at all. However, I've just assembled a PC to use as dedicated Server, installed DCS using a second user account and created port forwards to that PC using ports 10309 and 8089. My gaming PC is using port 10308. My problem is that the server seems to be running correctly, at ED's page I can check on it: (the mission is just a quick test .. I intend to edit my own mission once the server is in service) My problem is that my regular DCS PC doesnt see the server on the MP Server list, and if I try to connect with IP:Port address it says that the server is Offline. ¿Could it be that my gaming PC uses port 10308 while the Server uses 10309? Both my Gaming PC and the Dedicated Server are on the same LAN .. what is the Ports that I should be using on this case?

awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Doesn't look like you have your server set to Public, there should be a green tick in the box... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Really? ... I don't want a server open to the public, but rather it is to fly with my friends only Ok, that's fine. You won't see your server listed on the lobby if you have Public deselected. You can always make it public and put a password on it. If you want to play with friends, and they're not on your LAN, then you will have to make the server public... If the dedicated server is on a different machine, is that PC running a firewall?

awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 [/code] I thought with -w you determine the Server name. Thanks for elucitation. And thanks for your personal support :D Ok, this is a bit of a stab in the dark. Do you have Skatezilla's DCS utility installed? If not, go grab a copy off the forums (it's easy to find on Google) and run a DCS Repair, and a DCS Clean operation. See if it cleans/repairs anything. I had a look at your log and I have an entry that clearly shows the server registering the Webui port with ED, I don't see that anywhere in your log. No idea why, that's really weird...

SkipperSMG Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Ok, this is a bit of a stab in the dark. Do you have Skatezilla's DCS utility installed? If not, go grab a copy off the forums (it's easy to find on Google) and run a DCS Repair, and a DCS Clean operation. See if it cleans/repairs anything. Always did this manually. Should not be any different, isn't? I had a look at your log and I have an entry that clearly shows the server registering the Webui port with ED, I don't see that anywhere in your log. No idea why, that's really weird... Does this apply if you run your DCS as server or client? i5-2400 | 16GB Corsair XMS3 | MSI GTX 970 4GB | 500GB Samsung 850 Evo | TrackIR 5 | TM Warthog | Saitek Rudder Pedals | Windows 10 64 bit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awjudge Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Manual repair/clean is fine, Skatezilla's tool just makes it simpler. If you run DCS as a client, you don't see messages in the log about registering the Webui port with ED. Certainly looks like your DCS is completely ignoring your --server and --norender switches. Really odd. Another guess, are you running your cmd prompt as an administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Ok, that's fine. You won't see your server listed on the lobby if you have Public deselected.

If you want to play with friends, and they're not on your LAN, then you will have to make the server public... ok, thanks for clearing that up .. I will test with Public:True and then came back to tell you if it worked or not. If the dedicated server is on a different machine, is that PC running a firewall? Yes, Windows' firewall .. but tried disabling it and it still didn't show up on the Server list. That's the point of the password field.

Stonehouse Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Saw this in the server control thread Rudel https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3820647&postcount=200 I might have an idea, as you are running the server and client on the same network there might be an IP address problem. When I start the server it shows me my external IP address and when I tried to connect to it I got an error message. I looked at the log on the server. Click on the 3 short lines in the upper left corner, a menu opens, underneath you see this symbol </> that is the log look for a line that says ====== end of init. Look below I saw a line that said external ip xxx.xxx.xx.xx is redirected to internal IP xxx.xxx.xx.xxx. I then used the internal IP on the client and I could connect in MP using connect to IP.
