This guide covers the deadpolyserver module in AlphaGSM.

Support Status

Status: PASSED
Validated on Linux through the shared Docker wine-proton runtime
Anonymous SteamCMD app id: 2208380

AlphaGSM now supports DeadPoly on Linux by installing the Windows dedicated payload through anonymous SteamCMD and running the real server binary under the shared Wine/Proton runtime. The validated health surface is generic tcp on the managed queryport.

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm mydeadpoly create deadpolyserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mydeadpoly setup

Start it:

alphagsm mydeadpoly start

Check it:

alphagsm mydeadpoly query
alphagsm mydeadpoly info --json
alphagsm mydeadpoly status

Stop it:

alphagsm mydeadpoly stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port, default 7777
the query port, default 7778
the install directory
anonymous SteamCMD download for app 2208380

On Linux, AlphaGSM uses the shared wine-proton Docker runtime for the supported path.

Runtime Contract

Executable: DeadPolyServer.exe
Fallback executable: DeadPoly/Binaries/Win64/DeadPolyServer.exe
Working directory: <install_dir>
Config seed: <install_dir>/DeadPoly/Saved/1 RENAME Config
Managed config: <install_dir>/DeadPoly/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini
Query/info surface: generic tcp on queryport

Before start, AlphaGSM stages the shipped 1 RENAME Config tree into DeadPoly/Saved/Config when needed and syncs:

servername
maxplayers

The validated launch contract is:

DeadPolyServer.exe -log -nosteam -port=<port> -queryport=<queryport> -maxplayers=<maxplayers>

Useful Commands

alphagsm mydeadpoly set servername "My DeadPoly Server"
alphagsm mydeadpoly set maxplayers 32
alphagsm mydeadpoly set queryport 27020
alphagsm mydeadpoly update
alphagsm mydeadpoly backup

Notes

Module name: deadpolyserver
SteamCMD app id: 2208380
Supported Linux path: Docker wine-proton
