Setting Up the Dedicated Server
The video begins by explaining that steam CMD is needed to download the server files. Viewers are instructed to search for steam CMD online and download it from the Valve Developer Community website. The host demonstrates how to log in anonymously to steam CMD and download the V Rising server files by entering the appropriate commands.
Once the files are downloaded, the host shows viewers how to navigate to the steam apps folder to access the server files. They explain the purpose of each file and highlight the start server example .bat file. Viewers are instructed to copy the content from the set Steam app ID down to the bottom and create a new file named “bising_start.bat” in the same folder. The host then explains how to edit the new file to customize the server name.
Modifying Server Settings
The host proceeds to guide viewers through editing the server gam setting.Json and server host settings.Json files to modify various server settings. They advise caution when making changes, as it can potentially break the server. The host recommends creating a backup of the files before making any modifications. They demonstrate how to change the server name, enable listing on Steam, and other settings.
After saving the changes, the host shows viewers how to start the server by running the bising_start.bat file. They mention that the server window will not display any information but instruct viewers to check the task manager to confirm that the server process is running.
Joining and Shutting Down the Server
To join the server, viewers are instructed to open V Rising on the machine they wish to play on. They navigate to the online play section, search for the server by name, and join the game. The host emphasizes the importance of properly shutting down the server to avoid data corruption and demonstrates how to do so by closing the server window and using the task manager.
