Documentation

Set up a server, configure it, run it, and fix it when it will not start. The framework pages are true for every game; each game then has its own space for what is specific to it.

What you need Install a server Troubleshooting

GoMMO Framework

Every game here runs on the same server framework, so these pages are written once and are true for all of them.

Getting Started

What You Need The hardware, software and files required to run one of our servers, and the one rule about matching a client to a server. Installing Download, unzip, run. What is inside a release, how to tell it worked, and how to keep it running. Services and Tools Every program in a release, what each one is for, which you need to run and which you only run once. The gameserver, the website, the launcher, and the operator tools. Updates and Versions What our version numbers mean, how they differ from the game version a server emulates, what a release candidate is, and how to apply an update to a server you are already running.

Running a Server

Configuration What each setting in settings.cfg does, which port your game uses, and how to open a server to the outside world. The Database Why the default needs nothing installed, when to switch to MySQL, how to do it, and how to back up either one. Client Updater How to push a client change to every player without handing out a new archive: the manifest, the download route, and driving the updater from the command line. The GameCP The control panel and website that ships with every release. What your players get, what you get, how to put it online, and why the settings behind it differ from game to game. The Launcher How players sign in and start the game, how the launcher keeps their client files current, and the settings file behind it. GM Accounts What each staff level can do, the two ways to make your first administrator on a fresh server, how to promote everyone else, and why three of the RF versions ship with their commands open to every player. Game Data Editor 2.2.3.2 Change your server's game data from the browser. Every table the server reads opens as a spreadsheet, and in client mode the matching client file is written too. Available on RF Online 2.2.3.2 today. Using Your Own Data Files Run the server straight off the original game's own data files instead of the content we ship, so your copy stays the master copy.

Help

Troubleshooting The failures people actually hit, what each one really means, and how to tell them apart.

Games

Each version has its own space: what is in it, which client it needs, and anything it does differently from the framework pages above.
