Updated Server Setup Guide

Hello all,

Below is a guide on setting up Murderous Pursuits servers!

NOTE: If you are having trouble with people not being able to join your game then please jump down to the opening ports section below.

Setting up Custom games:

1. On the main menu select PLAY

2. Select Custom Game

3. To create a server click GO in the create box

4. The most important settings here are:

ServerType
There are three options; Private, LAN and Public Games. Private and Public games are online, whereas LAN games need a local connection. Private will require a username and password to join that server.

ServerPort
The default is 7777, if you need to change it for whatever reason enter your desired port here.

ServerName
Name of your server, needed for other people to join

Password
Password for your server. This is only required for Private and LAN games.

Game Modes
In the Game Settings drop down you will have the option to select the game mode. The three options are:

* Hunt
* Free-for-all
* Elimination

Hunt will be set as default when you begin the game.

Other notable settings:

Lobby Time
Length of time player can change their loadout in the lobby before the game starts.

Maps
Change the first map in the drop down here. Tick the map cycle if you want to cycle through the maps at the end of each game.

Max Bots
How many bots are in the game, players will replace bots if there are no empty places.

Game End Condition
The win condition – Target score or Timed games

Game Countdown/Winning Favour
Set the length of game or Target score depending on the Game end Condition selected above.
The other settings here are scoring specifics such as weapon rewards and kill streak bonus:

Opening Ports:

To host online games (Private Game, server created during Quick Play or Dedicated Server) you may need to open ports on your Router to allow your server to be seen by other players, here's some more info:
* Assuming you are using the default port of 7777 you should open the following port range for UDP:
** 7776 - 7778
* If you can see your server in the Steam Server Browser then other players should be able to connect to it.
* Different Routers require different ways to open ports, see portforward.com for more information and help about opening ports for your Router.

Setting up a Dedicated Server

You can set up your own dedicated server for Murderous Pursuits using the Steam Tool SteamCMD

On a PC without steam you can install the dedicated sever using SteamCMD (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD )

The Murderous Pursuits Dedicated Server is 689780

Follow the above link to get more information about SteamCMD

Download the installer from here (https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip)

Unzip the file and run the .exe

Login as anonymous using the command login anonymous

Set your app install directory force_install_dir C:\MurderousPursuitsDedicatedServer

Install the app app_update 689780

validate the install app_update 689780 validate

To run the sever keep SteamCMD open and navigate to C:\MurderousPursuitsDedicatedServer (or the alternate install path set above)

Create a new text file

Add just this text to the file

START MPDedicated.exe +serverid "MPDS_1"

Rename the text file to "runMPDedicated.bat"

*you need to open steam command and login as Anonymous each time you want to run the server again or there may be issues

Copy from an other User, with the same Problem!

Instead I did the following command to get the server downloaded:

steamcmd.exe +login <username> +force_install_dir C:\Server\Murderous_Pursuits +app_update 689780 validate +quit

This got it installed but when I run the MPDedicated.exe I get the following from the command line:
[12/29/2019 20:45:26.574] Server Console Started - Version: 1.7.0
[12/29/2019 20:45:26.584] Loading First Map ...
[12/29/2019 20:45:27.016] No ServerID set: you must set a serverID and create a directory of that name to put your configuration to load!

[12/29/2019 20:45:34.215] Level Loaded: RCS Laboratory
[12/29/2019 20:45:35.480] Game Ready for players to connect

I think I found the config file located here: Murderous_Pursuits\MPDS_1\DedicatedServerConfig.json

Problem is changing the values in that file dont seem to have an affect. Cant find a readme either and /? when run against MPDedicated.exe doesn't yield anything.

Can I get some help with this?

Create MPDedicated Shortcut And add " -batchmode -nographics +serverid MPDS_1 -logFile MPDS_1/mpds_output.txt "

ex D:\Murderous\MPDedicated.exe -batchmode -nographics +serverid MPDS_1 -logFile MPDS_1/mpds_output.txt

if you change config folder name +serverid MPDS_1 >>>> +serverid "FolderName"

I've did that, but the Server is not reachable through the Internet, Firewall is correctly set-up and all other Applications work, except this one.

As already said the only server that won't work is this game, tested on 3 Servers (Two in a datacenter in Frankfurt, 1 at home)

I'm sorry, I know this much. I can not help using it.
I really can not imagine how it happened and why.

Hey. It looks like there's something missing there. This missing text should fix the issue.
To run the sever keep SteamCMD open and navigate to C:\MurderousPursuitsDedicatedServer (or the alternate install path set above)
Create a new text file
add just this text to the file
START MPDedicated.exe +serverid "MPDS_1"
rename the text file to "runMPDedicated.bat"
That should get you up and running. Any problems, send us a message to support@blazinggriffin.com and we'll look into this for you.
