This guide covers the rs2server module in AlphaGSM.

rs2server is currently PASSED on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. Its supported Linux CI path is Docker-first through the shared wine-proton runtime. A current forced host-process Wine run stalled without reaching A2S, while the matching Docker lifecycle passed, so CI no longer duplicates the unsupported host lane.

Requirements

Docker with the shared wine-proton runtime
For experimental host/process mode: screen and Wine or Proton-GE
SteamCMD runtime libraries (lib32gcc-s1, lib32stdc++6)
Python packages from requirements.txt

Quick Start

Create the server:

alphagsm myrs2serve create rs2server

Run setup:

alphagsm myrs2serve setup

Start it:

alphagsm myrs2serve start

Check it:

alphagsm myrs2serve status

Stop it:

alphagsm myrs2serve 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 myrs2serve update
alphagsm myrs2serve backup

Notes

Module name: rs2server
Default game port: 7777
Default query port: 27015

Workshop content

The native Workshop adapter accepts public item or collection IDs and Steam Community URLs, checking the consumer game AppID 418460 separately from the dedicated-server tool AppID 418480:

alphagsm myrs2serve stop
alphagsm myrs2serve mod add workshop https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=952365960
alphagsm myrs2serve mod apply
alphagsm myrs2serve start

It configures ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems under [OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks] in ROGame/Config/PCServer-ROEngine.ini and puts the native Workshop client download manager first. Operator subscriptions, comments and unrelated settings are preserved. Changes require a stopped server, as the engine rewrites its INIs. Start on the stock map to download content before selecting an installed custom map with set startmap MAP_NAME. mod cleanup removes the entries AlphaGSM added and retains the engine's download cache.

The developer's CousteauPlantation fixture (952365960) passed public metadata validation and anonymous SteamCMD download on 2026-10-13. Its native VNTE-CousteauPlantation.roe map has not yet been proven loaded by this adapter through the full AlphaGSM smoke/integration lifecycle. Process and Docker Workshop validation remain pending. The native setup follows Tripwire's server instructions.

Server variables

After create rs2server, inspect or change these with set:

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

Key	Aliases	Type	What it does
`configfile`	—	string	Config file path for the server.
`dir`	—	string	Install directory for the server.
`exe_name`	—	string	Server executable filename.
`port`	gameport	integer	The game port for the server. Example: `7777`.
`queryport`	—	integer	The query port for the server. Example: `27015`.
`servername`	hostname, name	string	The advertised server name.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: Binaries/Win64/VNGame.exe
Location: <install_dir>/Binaries/Win64/VNGame.exe
Engine: UE3 Windows dedicated server via Wine/Proton
SteamCMD App ID: 418480

AlphaGSM launches the server with -log, tracks readiness through ROGame/Logs/Launch.log reaching the current map-bringup markers such as Bringing up level for play took, and waits for info --json to report protocol a2s before smoke and integration treat the server as query-ready. The current smoke and integration checks allow up to 20 minutes for this Wine/Proton bring-up because RS2 has historically stalled beyond the old 600 second startup window in CI. The Docker lifecycle passed on 2026-07-16 with query, info, info --json, and shutdown verification on the managed queryport; the same run's forced host-process lane never reached A2S.

Server Configuration

Config file: ROGame/Config/PCServer-ROGame.ini
set servername rewrites [/Script/Engine.GameReplicationInfo] ServerName in ROGame/Config/PCServer-ROGame.ini through the schema-backed config-sync path.
Template: See server-templates/rs2server/ if available
