Installation[edit | edit source]
To configure a Hurtworld Server, you must download steamcmd.exe. Once you have SteamCMD on your computer, we recommend setting up a batch file to update HurtWorld. To do this, type the following:
steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir C:servershurtworld +login anonymous +app_update 405100 validate +quit
You need to run this command from where you have steamcmd.exe located. This will download all the install files to c:servershurtworld. You can change this directory to wherever you like.
Running[edit | edit source]
To run the server, type the following:Hurtworld.exe -batchmode -nographics -exec 'host 12871;queryport 12881;servername My New Server;addadmin <My Steam ID>' -logfile 'gamelog.txt'
- Hurtworld.exe is run from the c:servershurtworld folder
- -nographics runs the server headless, so uses less resources
- -exec executes a bunch of commands. In this instance, it sets the host port, query port, server name and adds an admin
- The admin is a 64bit steamid. You can find yours here.
- The last part -logfile points to where you want the game to log to
