Insurgency: Sandstorm Server Admin Guide

Installation
Prerequisites

Before installation make sure you have installed the required prerequisites on your server.

Windows

Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-u…oad/details.aspx?id=53587
VIsual C++ 2017 Redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

SteamCMD

Like other games published on Steam, Insurgency: Sandstorm’s server files are published through a command-line tool known as “SteamCMD”. This GUI-less Steam client allows you to install and update the server’s files fairly easily.

You can download SteamCMD from the following links:

Windows: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.ne…nt/installer/steamcmd.zip
Linux: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.ne…ler/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz

You can read more about SteamCMD and how to use it here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD.

Most commands through SteamCMD require knowledge of the “app ID”, for Insurgency: Sandstorm its server files use the app ID 581330.

Launching

Once installed, you may launch the server from the “InsurgencyServer” executable located in the root directory of where you installed the server. The command line should include the starting map, the scenario and any other launch parameters. For example:

Windows

InsurgencyServer.exe Oilfield?Scenario=Scenario_Refinery_Push_Security?MaxPlayers=28 -Port=27102 -QueryPort=27131 -log -hostname="My Server"

Linux

Insurgency/Binaries/Linux/InsurgencyServer-Linux-Shipping Oilfield?Scenario=Scenario_Refinery_Push_Security?MaxPlayers=28 -Port=27102 -QueryPort=27131 -log -hostname="My Server"

In this example, the server will be started on Refinery (Oilfield) Push Security, hosted on port 27102 with a maximum of 28 players.

Travel Parameters

Travel parameters are placed at the end of the map name in the command line, following it with a question mark (?) and then the setting variable and its value. In the above example “port”, “queryport” and “MaxPlayers” are travel parameters.

Parameter

Description

password

Sets a password for the server.

MaxPlayers

Maximum number of players that can join the server. On coop servers, this is only the number of human players.

Command Line Arguments

Argument

Description

-log

Enables log window.

-hostname=”My Server”

Set the name of the server as it appears on the server browser (replacing My Server with the name of your choice).

-EnableCheats

Enable cheats for testing.

-Port=xxxx

The UDP port that game connections are made to (replace xxxx with port number).

-QueryPort=xxxx

The port that Steam runs server queries on (replace xxxx with port number).

Configuration

Most server configuration is performed through INI files and launch parameters. INI files can be edited with any plain text editor such as Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime Text and VSCode.

The location of the configuration files are in the following directories (relative to the installation directory):

Windows: Insurgency\Saved\Config\WindowsServer

Linux: Insurgency/Saved/Config/LinuxServer

Admin List

The game has a built-in admin menu which provides basic functionality such as kicking, banning and changing the level. In order to add admins, you will need to know their 64-bit Steam ID (aka steamID64). You can find this by using an online converter such as STEAMID I/O.

The list is contained inside Insurgency/Config/Server/Admins.txt. If this file does not exist, create it. You can also override the file by specifying a command line switch, for example -AdminList=OtherAdminList would make the server read from OtherAdminList.txt instead.

For each server admin you want to add, put each Steam ID on a new line. You can do this for as many admins as you would like to add. Adding new admins will require a server restart or level change for any changes to be reflected in-game. When a player with admin is connected to the server, they should be able to open the admin menu, it is bound to the Keypad Subtract button by default and can be re-bound in the key bindings menu.
Remote Access (Rcon)

Rcon can be enabled to provide remote access to the server for administrative tasks that don’t require you to join the server. This is implemented using the Source Engine Rcon Protocol which has clients available for it such as mcrcon.

Enabling Access

Rcon can be enabled either through modifying Game.ini or through the server’s command line. To enable it via the command line you can provide the arguments -Rcon -RconPassword=password -RconListenPort=27015 replacing the password and port with your preference.

Through Game.ini you can add the following options:

[Rcon]

bEnabled=True

Password=password

ListenPort=27015

The following additional config variables are also available:

Setting

Default

Description

bUseBroadcastAddress

True

If enabled, then the rcon socket will listen on all available network devices.

ListenAddressOverride

0.0.0.0

If bUseBroadcastAddress is False, this is the network IP the rcon socket is bound to.

bAllowConsoleCommands

True

When enabled, any unknown rcon commands will be interpreted as console commands.

MaxPasswordAttempts

3

The maximum number of failed authentication attempts before the IP address is temporarily banned.

IncorrectPasswordBanTime

30

The amount of time (in minutes) a client is banned from attempting to connect to rcon if they’ve reached their maximum number of attempts.

Commands

You can get a list of commands at any time by typing “help” into the console. This will show a summary of all available commands, their usage as well as a description of the command’s function.

The table below shows the available commands, mandatory parameters are shown surrounded by “<” and “>”, while optional parameters are surrounded with “[“ and “]”.

By default, any unknown commands will be executed as console commands.

Map Cycle

By default, a server will cycle through all Versus (PVP) scenarios available.

The server can be configured with a mapcycle file which contains a list of scenarios, separated by new lines. By default, this file must be placed in Insurgency/Config/Server/MapCycle.txt. This can be defined on the command line using the -MapCycle parameter. So if you wanted it to read MyOtherMapCycle.txt you would specify -MapCycle=MyOtherMapCycle.

For example, a Skirmish only server’s MapCycle.txt should look like the following:

Scenario_Crossing_Skirmish

Scenario_Hideout_Skirmish

Scenario_Precinct_Skirmish

Scenario_Refinery_Skirmish

Scenario_Farmhouse_Skirmish
