Status

chivalryserver is currently ENABLED (AUTH).

Before setup or start, authenticate Steam or SteamCMD with an account entitled to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Dedicated Server app 220070.

Requirements

screen
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mychivalry create chivalryserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mychivalry setup

Start it:

alphagsm mychivalry start

Check it:

alphagsm mychivalry status

Stop it:

alphagsm mychivalry stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the server files

Useful Commands

alphagsm mychivalry update
alphagsm mychivalry backup

Notes

Module name: chivalryserver
Default port: 7777
Default query port: 27015
Current validation status: AlphaGSM now repairs the missing PhysXUpdateLoader.so alias, launches from the correct Linux working directory, syncs the managed Port/PeerPort/QueryPort values into PCServer-UDKEngine.ini, and exposes the install-root Steam library paths so the Linux binary can locate the shipped steamclient.so, but anonymous Linux startup still aborts in SteamAPI_Init() / SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() before any working A2S query/info path appears.

Server variables

After create chivalryserver, inspect or change these with set:

alphagsm myserver set --list
alphagsm myserver set KEY --describe
alphagsm myserver set KEY VALUE

This module does not declare schema-backed keys. set --list after create is still the live source of truth.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: Binaries/Linux/UDKGameServer-Linux
Location: <install_dir>/Binaries/Linux/UDKGameServer-Linux
Engine: Custom (SteamCMD)
SteamCMD App ID: 220070

AlphaGSM now launches Chivalry with the configured game port embedded in the UDK URL, for example AOCTO-Battlegrounds_V3_P?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?steamsockets, so the runtime actually binds the game port selected during setup and exposes A2S on the configured query port.
