  2. Firewall configuration may differ on different distro. Well... if you're using linux, you probaly don't need to be told what to do

Port forwarding

Normally you can't just run a server at your home, since your computer is behind a NAT firewall, which will randomly assign you a port or block all incoming connections. You'll need to forward a port to make your server reachable to others. Contact you ISP or use VLAN software(see below) if you're unable to do that.

Configuring the server

All server seetings are stored in Settings.xml located at the working directory, you can see all avalible options here

VLAN

RAGECOOP comes with built-in ZeroTier intergration, allowing you to host a public server at your home without complex setup. To use it, first download and install ZeroTier for your server and client PC, log in / sing up to https://my.zerotier.com/ and create a network, set UseZeroTier and AnnounceSelf to true and change ZeroTierNetworkID to your network in server settings, then start your server. Now you'll be able to connect to your server from the server list.

P2P connection

RAGECOOP supports P2P connection to an extent. You must enable VLAN functionality and set UseP2P to true for this to work.

Restricting access to server

It's not possible to add a server password, although if you want to announce the server (AnnounceSelf) but want to restrict access, you can use the Management resource.

  • Download RageCoop.Resources.Management.respkg from https://github.com/RAGECOOP/GTAV-RESOURCES/releases/tag/nightly and put it in the folder Resources\Packages
  • Run the server, the following commands must be executed in the server console
  • /register username password (replace username by your user name and password by your password)
  • /setrole username Admin (replace username by your user name)
  • /unregister Sausage (it's the default Admin user)
  • Press Ctrl + C to stop the server
  • Edit Config.json in Resources\Server\data\RageCoop.Resources.Management and change AllowGuest to false.
  • Run the server again

Now only registered users (with /register command) can join the server, they must type the password in RageCoop menu.

Commands can also be executed in the game chat.
