Janaz Leonhart: /* Getting started */

Welcome to Vertigo Gaming Wiki.

Welcome! In this Wiki we will share how to connect to our servers, how to setup your own servers, and various ways to configure and secure your servers.

'''Disclaimer:''' Below are some links/resources that will help you get started in several areas. However, keep in mind that many things source-related, just like a lot of things in life, requires independent research, hands on experience, and trial and error. We will do our best to provide information, but understand that nothing is a "one size fits all" solution, especially when running servers, coding, or mapping, so you will need to take it upon yourself to read up and understand what it is you are doing. It is all a learning experience and an ever evolving one at that. It is up to YOU, the reader, to take responsibility for your own actions and research at the end of the day.

We are not responsible in any way for any harm/issues/problems that occur as a result of following/not following any of the information provided in this wiki or in the links provided in this wiki. The information comes "as is" and is based on our personal experiences in dealing with running servers, mapping, coding, etc. in Source-related games. It is not the end-all be all guide for everything and it should be taken as such. Accuracy and reliability, while strived for, is not guaranteed. As time goes along and as things change, the information presented has the potential of being outdated or depreciated. Again, it is up to YOU, the reader, to take responsibility for your own actions and research at the end of the day and that includes determining if the information provided here is valid for you or not.

ZPS Server

Janaz Leonhart:

Zombie Panic Source Server Install

Note: This can be done on any machine, but I recommend you go with a hosting provider. Give [http://www.nfoservers.com NFO Servers] a try. Also this will only cover downloading and running a basic ZPS Server with no mods/configuration. This is a starting point that can be useful for even troubleshooting.

Requirements:

* [//https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD: SteamCMD Download]
* 10GB of Hard Drive Space (more if you want alot of maps/plugins)
* At least 2GB Ram (1GB for the OS, 1GB for the Server)
* A decent Internet Connection.

----

Setup:

1. First we want to to extract the SteamCMD to a directory (ex C:\SteamCMD).

[[File:Steamcmdextracted.png|none|frame|SteamCMD Extracted Directory]]

2. Next we wish to run SteamCMD.

[[File:Steamcmd.png|none|frame|SteamCMD Running]]

3. We wish to login anonymous (some games will require you to log on with a real steam account, but this walkthrough won't cover that). To do this we type login anonymous.

[[File:Steamcmdlogin.png|none|frame|SteamCMD Anonymous Login]]

4. Next we want to tell SteamCMD to install our game. (ex. C:\servers\zps) We do this with the force_install_dir command.

[[File:Steamcmdinstalldir.png|none|frame|SteamCMD Force Install Directory]]

5. Next we wish to download the ZPS Server. To get the ID for it we would go to [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List SteamCMD Game ID List] and if we went there we would see that the ZPS Server is 17505. So we would go into SteamCMD and do app_update 17505 and hit enter.

[[File:Steamcmdgameinstalled.png|none|frame|SteamCMD ZPS Downloading and Installing]]

6. Now we exit SteamCMD by typing exit and it will shut down.

7. Now we open up a Command Prompt (windows key +r, then type cmd or Start Menu/Command Prompt).

[[File:Commandprompt.png|none|frame|Windows Command Prompt]]

8. Now we go to the directory we downloaded ZPS to by typing cd \, then cd servers, then cd zps.

9. Then we want to run the server by typing, srcds -console -game zps -port 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map zps_cinema -secure

[[File:Zpslaunch.png|none|frame|ZPS Server Launch]]

10. If successful you will see the window below. Grats! You have setup your own ZPS server that is stock with no configuration done to it!
