Twig:

== Running dedicated server on GNU/Linux ==

=== Prerequisites ===

Warning: Run everything here within a tmux session if you'd like it to continue running once you log out of ssh

Ensure the following dependencies are installed on your host:

* podman
* tmux
* git
* text editor (e.g. vim)

=== Generating <code>auth.toml</code> ===

Download the pre-release version of maxima from [https://github.com/silkker/MARNE/releases/tag/0.1 here]

After logging in, locate the generated <code>auth.toml</code> file:

* '''Windows''':
<code>%APPDATA%\Roaming\ArmchairDevelopers\Maxima\data</code>

* '''Linux''':
<code>$HOME/.local/share/maxima</code>

Copy the contents of <code>auth.toml</code> into the same <code>auth.toml</code> inside the MARNE repository.

=== Podman Setup ===

On the machine that will host the dedicated server, execute the following commands individually:

<pre>
mkdir -p $HOME/Games
mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d
git clone https://github.com/silkker/MARNE
cd MARNE
vim auth.toml # Paste the contents from your main machine
vim tmux.conf # Optional (uncomment from Containerfile if used)
podman build --no-cache -t marne_tonga:latest .
</pre>

=== Running the Container ===

Run the container with:

<pre>
podman run --replace -it \
--name marne_tonga \
-v $HOME/Games:/opt/games \
-p 25200:25200/udp \
-p 11079:11079/tcp \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
marne_tonga:latest
</pre>

Type exit once it gets into a shell.

Start the container by running

<pre>
podman start -ai marne_tonga
</pre>

=== Game Directory Setup ===

Create the Battlefield 1 directory:

<pre>
sudo chmod 777 /opt/games
mkdir -p /opt/games/bf1
</pre>

Run Maxima setup:

<pre>
wlheadless-run -c cage -- $HOME/maxima.sh
</pre>

(Press <code>Ctrl+C</code> once completed.)

=== Registry Configuration ===

Import required registry files:

<pre>
PROTONPATH=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/proton \
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix \
umu-run $HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix/drive_c/windows/syswow64/regedit.exe \
$HOME/dll_overrides.reg
</pre>

<pre>
PROTONPATH=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/proton \
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix \
umu-run $HOME/.local/share/maxima/wine/prefix/drive_c/windows/syswow64/regedit.exe \
$HOME/bf1.reg
</pre>

=== Anti-Cheat Bypass and dinput8.dll ===

Rename the anti-cheat launcher:

<pre>
mv /opt/games/bf1/EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe \
/opt/games/bf1/EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe.bak
</pre>

Download and place the dinput8.dll:

<pre>
curl -L https://github.com/silkker/MARNE/raw/refs/heads/main/Marne.dll \
-o /opt/games/bf1/dinput8.dll
</pre>

=== Server Configuration ===

Edit server settings as you wish:

<pre>
vim /opt/games/bf1/ServerSettings.txt
</pre>

Launch the server:

<pre>
wlheadless-run -c cage -- maxima-cli launch \
--game-path /opt/games/bf1/bf1.exe \
--game-args=-mserver battlefield-1
</pre>

=== Installing mods ===

Get a VPS with RDP setup or use waypipe (Frosty CLI is still way too WIP to be of use)

Run this inside podman

<pre>
wget -O /opt/games/BF_FMM_Linux.tar.gz https://github.com/Twig6943/FrostyToolsuiteBattlefieldLinux/releases/latest/download/BF_FMM_Linux.tar.gz
tar -xzf /opt/games/BF_FMM_Linux.tar.gz -C /opt/games
</pre>

Outside of podman, install umu and ge-proton for your distro like so (these commands are here as reference please go ahead and grab the latest version of everything);

<pre>
export PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 # If you're on a wayland session
export PROTONPATH=$HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-32

wget -O $HOME/ge-proton.tar.gz https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/download/GE-Proton10-32/GE-Proton10-32.tar.gz
tar -xzf $HOME/ge-proton.tar.gz -C "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d"

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 # needed for debian-based

wget -O $HOME/umu.deb https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher/releases/download/1.3.0/python3-umu-launcher_1.3.0-1_amd64_debian-13.deb
sudo dpkg -i $HOME/umu.deb

sudo chmod -R 777 $HOME/Games
umu-run $HOME/Games/Bf1_Linux_ModManager/FrostyModManager.exe
</pre>

To start modded server, inside the container run;
<pre>
wlheadless-run -c cage -- \
maxima-cli launch \
--game-path "/opt/games/bf1/bf1.exe" \
--game-args="-mserver" \
--game-args="-dataPath" \
--game-args="ModData/Default" \
battlefield-1
</pre>
