Create Basic Server (Windows)

Note: This guide is intended for dedicated servers, not servers started from the ingame menu!

Requirements

• Windows operating system (For Linux: Run Server on Linux)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable x86 and x64
• Game files need to be present on host system
• Republic Commando UCC

Setup

• Download Republic Commando UCC and install it into GameData/System folder
• Create a shortcut for UCC.exe and add this parameter on target line: Engine.ServerCommandlet
• It should like below (absolute paths may be different depending on installation location):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Republic Commando\GameData\System\UCC.exe" Engine.ServerCommandlet

• Forward the server connect port (default 7777) for TCP and UDP in your router/firewall
• Optionally, forward the gamespy master server port 11138 for TCP and UDP if you want to see your server on the list
• If running multiple servers on same machine/network interface, the gamespy port increases by one automatically for each server instance. A second server would use 11139, a third server 11140 and so on

Configure System\System.ini

Open up GameData\System\System.ini file with notepad. (Notepad++ recommended)

[URL]

Change the lines

Map=Entry.ctm
LocalMap=Entry.ctm

to

Map=DM_Siege?Game=MPGame.DMGame
LocalMap=DM_Siege?Game=MPGame.DMGame

This will boot the server into Arena A17 on DeathMatch gamemode.

The commandline syntax is: Mapname, Gamemode, additional parameters.

• Parameters get seperated by "?" symbol

Maps+=CTF_Detention?Game=MPGame.ASGame?GoalScore=0?RoundTime=240?NumRounds=2?timelimit=0
Maps+=DM_Hangar?Game=MPGame.TDGame?GoalScore=40?timelimit=10?NumRounds=0?RoundTime=0
Maps+=CTF_HangingGarden.ctm?Game=MPGame.ASGame?GoalScore=0?RoundTime=240?NumRounds=2?timelimit=0
