Overview
I’ll do some basic tidying up later :Phttp://prntscr.com/tz9ajlThis is the hell you can make
The guide
So let’s put this in the most basic way possible
All you need to do is open up the console with CTRL + ALT + ~
You can type help for a bunch of commands, but the ones you’ll be using are
sv_maxplayers
steam_lobby_max_members
You can type any number between 1-16 (16 is the maximum) after these.
You can also type the commands back in without the number to check if you did it correctly.
That’s all you need! You can create your server using the in-game menu, set up your preferences, and play around.
Modding
Important: As of 8/15, R2API’s latest update doesn’t allow vanilla clients to join modded servers, and also forces others to have the same mod configs as you. You can only run these servers on 2.4.29 for now.
I’m sure you’ve realized that with the difficulty scaling, you aren’t going anywhere past the first stage with your army of 16.
I’d recommend using r2modman[thunderstore.io] and installing ShareSuite so that everyone gets items from one chest. Only 2.0.1 works with R2API vers 2.4.29
You can add in more mods, but please make sure that there aren’t any mods that heavily change the game (ex. General fixes). You can check this by opening your game via the launcher, and looking at the top-left of your screen for the version number. If it doesn’t have MOD next to it, you’ll be fine. Otherwise, this won’t allow vanilla clients to join you.
Creating a Config
If you want a config to do this i’d recommend when in the riskofrain2_data folder and in side of config
you don’t interact with the other config files!!!
insert shot here
What you want to do is create a file named autoexec.cfg and input the commands you want
insert shot here
After that just open the console in game and type exec autoexec.cfg or exec autoexec i think and it should work!
