SOLUTION: Go to your Steam Library page and enable the Tools option under the dropdown. This will enable you to download the "Battle Cry of Freedom - Dedicated server" installation. Configure and run that and when you launch your regular BCOF game the server will show up in the server list.

If you ever find yourself with insomnia that coincides with the eastern US time zone, we have an active group and you're always welcome to tag along. If you're into early morning work we have regularly scheduled events on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday nights at 8PM our time which would roughly correspond to early mornings the next day depending on where you are.  I'm a retired fellow, too, and enjoy my time with the young bucks in the group. https://discord.gg/Cmczftxq

General Discussion / How Do You Interface With And Control A Server Running on Your Own Machine?

« on: May 14, 2022, 06:30:36 pm »

I have successfully set up and have launched a server on my local machine (for map testing.) I did this with the Steam "Battle Cry of Freedom - Dedicated Server" download.  Is there any way to control the server via a GUI interface like those provided by commercial hosting sites? If not, where can I find a list of the console window (terminal) commands necessary to achieve similar functionality?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.  I now have it up and running. I'll put this next question up as a different thread to make it easier to search for the topic.  I need to know how to contorl the server functionality.  Thanks again for the help.

I need to set up a server on my local machine to do some map testing for BCoF. I've looked through the boards and googleized it but haven't found a concise guide. Is there a guide I'm missing or can someone provide some instructions? Any help would be appreciated.
