This guide covers the primalcarnageextinctionserver module in AlphaGSM.

primalcarnageextinctionserver is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. The current GitHub integration lane still exercises both process and Docker runtime selection, and the validated Linux path remains Wine/Proton-backed with the corrected direct map-URL launch contract feeding A2S query / info on the managed queryport.

Requirements

screen and xvfb-run
Wine or Proton-GE on Linux hosts
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myprimalca create primalcarnageextinctionserver

Run setup:

alphagsm myprimalca setup

Start it:

alphagsm myprimalca start

Check it:

alphagsm myprimalca status

Stop it:

alphagsm myprimalca stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 7777)
the A2S query port (default 27015)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the Windows dedicated server files

Useful Commands

alphagsm myprimalca update
alphagsm myprimalca backup

Notes

Module name: primalcarnageextinctionserver
Default game port: 7777
Default query port: 27015

Server variables

After create primalcarnageextinctionserver, 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/Win64/PrimalCarnageServer.exe
Location: <install_dir>/Binaries/Win64/PrimalCarnageServer.exe
Engine: UE3 Windows dedicated server via Wine/Proton
SteamCMD App ID: 336400

Current validation status: the 2026-05-28 follow-up confirmed that PrimalCarnageServer.exe must receive the map URL directly. Passing a literal SERVER token makes UE3 try to load a missing package named SERVER, so AlphaGSM now launches the dedicated binary as PrimalCarnageServer.exe PC-Docks?...?bIsDedicated=true -seekfreeloadingserver -log and still wraps it with xvfb-run on Linux. Focused validation also kept the claimed-port retry path for the default queryport conflict on 27015. The process wrapper explicitly enables Wine's X11 driver inside that virtual display, including when the parent environment disables it.

With the corrected argv, the server now writes PrimalCarnageGame/Logs/Launch.log, loads PC-Docks, binds the UDP game/query ports, answers A2S on queryport, and returns info --json with protocol a2s. The current bring-up markers to watch before enforcing A2S are:

LoadMap: PC-Docks
Game class is 'PCTeamDeathMatchGame'
NetMode is now 1

Focused validation also confirmed that alphagsm stop closes the live A2S ports again. Update shared enablement trackers separately in the parent integration change once the lane is cherry-picked.
