# Multiplayer, Steam & Server Admin
|
|
|
|
## In-Game Menu (`M`)
|
|
|
|
Opens automatically on start and again with **M**:
|
|
|
|
- **Map** selection
|
|
- **Backend**: Auto / Steam / LAN
|
|
- **Host Port** + Max Players
|
|
- **Find Steam** / **Find LAN**
|
|
- **Join selected session**
|
|
- **Connect by IP:Port**
|
|
- **Play Solo**
|
|
|
|
## Steam
|
|
|
|
1. Steam Client must be running.
|
|
2. Dev AppId is `480` (Spacewar) in `Config/DefaultEngine.ini` — replace with your own AppId for release.
|
|
3. In the menu choose Backend **Steam** or **Auto**.
|
|
4. Host on one PC, Find Steam on the other.
|
|
|
|
LAN/IP works without Steam (Backend **LAN** or Direct Connect).
|
|
|
|
## Direct Connect
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
IP: 192.168.x.x
|
|
Port: 7777
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or console: `open 192.168.x.x:7777`
|
|
|
|
## Dedicated Server Web Admin
|
|
|
|
On headless / dedicated start, admin UI binds to **AdminHttpPort** (default `8080`):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
http://192.168.178.129:8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default password: `vocation` (change in `Config/ServerConfig.ini`).
|
|
|
|
You can change:
|
|
|
|
- Server name, game port, max players, map
|
|
- LAN / Steam preference
|
|
- Game rules (friendly fire, day length, mining respawn, …)
|
|
|
|
**Game port changes require a server restart.**
|
|
JSON status: `GET /api/status`
|
|
|
|
Force web admin on a non-dedicated run: `-WebAdmin`
|
|
|
|
## ServerConfig.ini
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[/Script/VocationLife.VocationServerSettings]
|
|
ServerName=VocationLife Dedicated Server
|
|
GamePort=7777
|
|
AdminHttpPort=8080
|
|
AdminPassword=vocation
|
|
