= Setting up a Dedicated Server =

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a dedicated server for MARNE. Follow the instructions below step-by-step to ensure proper configuration and functionality of your server.

== Requirements ==
Before setting up your dedicated server, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
* '''Hardware Requirements''': A mediocre PC should work just fine.
* '''Operating System''': Windows 10 or higher.
* '''Software Dependencies''':
** VC++ Redistributable ([https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe latest version])
** [https://github.com/CadeEvs/FrostyToolsuite/releases Frosty Tool Suite] (if you plan on hosting modded servers)
* '''MARNE Launcher''': Download the latest version from the [https://marne.io official MARNE download page].

== Step 1: Downloading and Installing the Server ==
# Make sure Battlefield 1 is installed.
# Download the latest files from the [https://marne.io official MARNE download page].

== Step 2: Configuring the Server ==
Once the game files are in place, you need to configure the server [[Settings]] according to your preferences:

=== Open the Configuration File ===
* Create a '''ServerSettings.txt''' file inside the games root directory (e. g. C:\Programs (x86)\EA Games\Battlefield 1).
* Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.

=== Edit Basic [[Settings]] ===
Add or modify the following lines in the configuration file:
Server.ServerName "My Dedicated Server"
Server.AdministrationPassword "SuperSecurePassword123"
Server.ServerPassword "OptionalPassword"
Network.ServerPort 25200

If your server is supposed to be visible inside your LAN only use this setting:
MARNE.LanMode true

'''Note:''' Always enclose values with spaces in quotation marks (e.g., `"My Dedicated Server"`).

=== Save the Configuration ===
After editing the configuration file, save it and close the text editor.

== Step 3: Starting the Server ==
# Launch '''[[Marne Launcher|MarneLauncher.exe]]'''.
# Click '''DEDICATED SERVER'''.
# You should now see a window where you can either connect to an existing instance or start a new one: Click '''START SERVER'''.
# Check the server console for any error messages.
# If the startup completes without issues, your server should now be live.

Alternatively, if you want to use the [https://github.com/CadeEvs/FrostyToolsuite/releases Frosty Mod Manager] to start the server:
# Open the '''Frosty Mod Manager''' from the Frosty Tool Suite.
# Select the Battlefield 1 game profile.
# Ensure that the mods you want are loaded and applied.
# Click '''Launch''' in Frosty Mod Manager.
# After launching, check that a new server console window appears—this indicates that the MARNE mod is active.

== Step 4: Testing and Connecting to the Server ==
# On a secondary PC open up '''[[Marne Launcher|MarneLauncher.exe]]'''.
# Click '''START MARNE''' and then '''SERVER BROWSER'''.
# You should be able to find your server in the list.
# Join the server and ensure everything works as expected.

== Advanced Settings ==
If you want to customize your server further, consider modifying the following options in the configuration file:

* '''Enabling/Disabling Specific Weapons:'''
SyncedBFSettings.EnableShotguns false
SyncedBFSettings.EnableHandguns true

* '''Enabling/Disabling Minimap/Name Tags:'''
SyncedBFSettings.EnableMinimap true
SyncedBFSettings.EnableNameTag true

* '''Adjusting Game Mechanics:'''
SyncedGame.MaxAllowedLatency 150
SyncedGame.BulletDamageModifier 1.25

* '''Customizing Server Rules:'''
SyncedBFSettings.OnlySquadLeaderSpawn false
SyncedBFSettings.DisableCombatSquadSpawn true

There's more server settings you can change to your liking, you can find an overview [[Settings|here]].
== Troubleshooting ==
If you encounter issues during setup or while running the server, check the following common problems:

=== Port Forwarding ===
* Ensure that the server port (default: 25200) is correctly forwarded in your router settings.

=== Firewall Settings ===
* Add exceptions for '''bf1.exe''' in your firewall to prevent connection issues.

=== Server Crashes ===
* Review the logs located in the '''Logs''' folder for any errors or warnings.
* Make sure all software dependencies are up to date.
* A crash dump is located next to bf1.exe share it with a developer.

Before you can host a game session using ''Marne Launcher'', ensure you have the following:

* ''Battlefield 1 License:'' You must own an officially licensed copy of ''Battlefield 1'' to access and use ''MARNE''.
* ''Internet Connection:'' A stable internet connection is required to host and maintain the game session for all players.

* ''Visual C++ Redistributable (VC Runtime):'' Make sure the necessary ''VC Runtime'' libraries are installed. This is essential for running many modern games. Download the latest version of the Visual C++ Redistributable from [Microsoft’s official website](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads).
* ''Marne Launcher:'' ''Marne Launcher'' is portable and does not require installation. Simply download it from [here](https://marne.io/api/dl/stable/29240241/MarneLauncher.exe) and run it directly from the folder.
