Note that before the next step you probably want to Set Permissions (see next chapter) Pause_server_if_no_clients = true -> Pause the game if no one is in it, so you can continue playing later Listen_address = '12.345.67.890' -> The IP-Adress of your Serverĭefault_password = 'MyPW' -> A PW if you wantĪdvertise = true -> That your friend can see the server on the server list Player_name = 'Host' -> The name of the 'Player' hosting the gameĭefault_port = 11753 -> OpenRCT2 default port is 11753 Game_path = '/Games/RCT2' -> where the original game files are stored For all available settings see Settings in config.ini Update the /Games/openrct2/Craz圜astle/config.ini in this folder. To tidy up stuff move /Games/openrct2/Crazy Castle.sv6 into /Games/openrct2/Craz圜astle/save/Crazy Castle.sv6 (in this folder will also be the autosaves) Craz圜astle created the Folder /Games/openrct2/Craz圜astle with a config.ini included Note that -headless will not open the game interface.Īfter the Server is running you can close it immedially using CTRL+C Craz圜astle -rct2-data-path /Games/RCT -headless. Host a Server calling /Games/openrct2/OpenRCT2.AppImage host. (The offical Wiki on hosting a server can be found here) Start the Crazy Castles Scenario and save it into /Games/openrct2/Crazy Castle.sv6 Run your Server Start the Game calling /Games/openrct2/OpenRCT2.AppImage Let's say we want to host a build-in scenario (here: Crazy Castle) We need to register the original Game Files using /Games/openrct2/OpenRCT2.AppImage set-rct2 /Games/RCT2 You should now be able to see the help calling /Games/openrct2/OpenRCT2.AppImage -help (If you cannot display graphics on your Server you can create the sv6 with the PC you will play OpenRCT2 or download Crazy Castle.sv6 from this repository) I rename and store the file into /Games/openrct2/OpenRCT2.AppImage. For our example it's just important to have the files in /Games/RCT2 OpenRCT2 Get the AppImage Of course you can use other instructions to obtain the game files. Now you can now delete /Games/RCT2_installer. I use innoextract to extract the game files: innoextract setup_rollercoaster_tycoon2_german_2.0.0.6.exeĭelete tmp and move the app content into /Games/RCT2. Be sure to download the offline data and store them under /Games/RCT2_installer. You need the original game files to run OpenRCT2. Tested on a vServer of Original Game Get the Game Files This is a workflow how I managed to set up a running OpenRCT2 ( website/ github) game which is permanently online and where clients can join as users.
