Dedicated Server

Overview

This page will describe in a few easy steps to start up a dedicated server for MechWarrior Living Legends. Examples are used to illustrate what is necessary to get it running as many other servers out there.

Server Configuration

Server configuration is done entirely with the MWLL Launcher. First, select the Dedicated Server Configuration option from the launcher.

From here, choose the maps you wish to enter into the rotation by selecting them, then clicking Add to Rotation. From there, you can click an added map and configure the settings directly for that map, including spawn timers, respawn limits, income scaling and more.

The download URL is used for custom maps to tell the game where to download the map from. You can find the main repository of maps at the Clan Jade Wolf website here; simply find the map, copy the link for the it and paste it into its download URL bar.

Game modes

There are currently three game modes available which can be set via sv_gamerules or the gameRules attribute in the level rotation:

• TerrainControl - works with all TC maps
• TeamSolarisArena - works with all TSA maps
• TestOfStrength - works with all TSA maps

Known Issues

Name the levelrotation anything else than levelrotation.xml and trying to load it inside the server.cfg is bound to fail. Crysis has a bug that ignores this variable it will load the default levelrotation.xml that came with the mod.

Unlimited Funds Testing Setup

To setup a private testing server where you can have unlimited money, enter the command sv_leaguemode_enable = 1 followed by sv_leaguemode_givecbills = 1 into the server console. This will enable League Mode on your server and from there, every time you press the Home key, you will receive 100,000 CBills.
