How to set up a Dream Car Builder Dedicated Server

Option 1.
1. In the Library tab select Tools. Locate "DCB Server" and install it.
The installation folder: Library -> Tools -> Locate "DCB Server" and right click on it -> Properties -> Local files -> Browse local files...

Option 2.
1. Make a folder somewhere you will remember, and call it SteamCMD
2. Download the zip from here: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip
3. Extract steamcmd.zip into the SteamCMD folder
4. Start "steamcmd.exe" then type this after:

+login anonymous +force_install_dir c:\DCBServer +app_update 1010510 validate +quit

"c:\DCBServer" - is the folder you want to install the server to.

When the DCBServer is installed, just start "dcbserver_x64.exe" or "dcbserver_x32.exe" in the DCBServer folder.

You can start several instances of DCB server on one PC using different ports for different maps.

The server ports by default:
5998, 8766, 27016 (dcbserver_x64_silent.bat)
5999, 8767, 27017 (dcbserver_x64_silent_2nd_instance.bat)
6000, 8768, 27018 (dcbserver_x64_silent_3rd_instance.bat)

In order to host a server, you must have the server ports open and forwarded for UDP and TCP connections (if you use a router), OTHERWISE, YOUR SERVER WILL NOT BE VISIBLE FROM THE INTERNET!

How to add a map from workshop to your server

1. Subscribe to the map you want in Steam Workshop.
2. Find the folder of this Workshop Item on your PC, typically it is: "

d:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\488550\1315180776\"

3. Start DCBServer
4. Click "Map"
5. Click "+"
6. Choose the Workshop Item Folder

There is a Discord bot in the Discord server that can automatically host servers for you. Just do /startserver and it will start immediately.

why is this so complicated? why cant it work like in terraria where u just go on whatever map u want and click "invite friends" or in this game "open server" and pop ur server is on the list of online servers

ATTENTION READERS!
Option 1 does not work! Use option 2 instead.
You need to input the commands into steamcmd.exe as follows (press enter in between each command):
force_install_dir c:\DCBServer
login anonymous
app_update 1010510 validate
quit
After doing that, just start dcbserver_64.exe or _32.exe.
Don't forget to forward the ports in your router and allow the app access through the firewall (if windows ask for internet permissions, check both boxes and click "allow access".
