This guide covers the saleblazersserver module in AlphaGSM.

saleblazersserver is being revalidated on the documented Ubuntu 24.04 Linux baseline. Docker is the required runtime path, and GitHub CI additionally exercises the process path where it remains viable. The previous 2026-05-29 process validation predates the current Docker display-runtime correction, so Docker lifecycle support must not be treated as freshly passed until the current GitHub Actions run is green.

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 mysaleblaz create saleblazersserver

Run setup:

alphagsm mysaleblaz setup

Start it:

alphagsm mysaleblaz start

Check it:

alphagsm mysaleblaz status

Stop it:

alphagsm mysaleblaz stop

Setup Details

Setup configures:

the game port (default 27015)
the derived helper port (port + 1, default 27016)
the install directory
SteamCMD downloads the Windows dedicated server files
AlphaGSM syncs the managed port, lobby name, password, and player cap into DedicatedServerConfig.json

Useful Commands

alphagsm mysaleblaz update
alphagsm mysaleblaz backup

Notes

Module name: saleblazersserver
Default game port: 27015
Default helper port: 27016 (port + 1)
Current validation status: pending the current GitHub Actions rerun. AlphaGSM starts the upstream executable from <install_dir>/Default, passes the managed root config as -config ../DedicatedServerConfig.json, runs it under xvfb-run plus SDL x11, dummy audio, and software GL, and treats the live helper surface as generic udp on port + 1. The current readiness markers are Server hosted on port ... and Connected to Console Window!, and query, info, and info --json must all pass on the derived helper port.

Server variables

After create saleblazersserver, 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
`maxplayers`	users	integer	Maximum number of players allowed on the server. Example: `8`.
`port`	gameport	integer	The primary game port for the server. Example: `27015`.
`servername`	hostname, name	string	The public lobby name for the dedicated server. Example: `AlphaGSM Test`.
`serverpassword`	sv_password, password	string	Optional password required to join the server. Stored as a secret.

Developer Notes

Run File

Executable: Default/Saleblazers.exe
Location: <install_dir>/Default/Saleblazers.exe
Engine: Windows dedicated server via Wine/Proton
SteamCMD App ID: 3099600

AlphaGSM now treats info --json returning protocol udp on the derived helper port (port + 1) as the readiness gate. The plain Unity startup text in server.log is not stable enough to use as the only readiness marker, so the checked-in smoke and integration flows wait for the later Server hosted on port ... / Connected to Console Window! lines before confirming the helper listener. On Linux hosts AlphaGSM launches Saleblazers through xvfb-run with SDL x11 video, dummy audio, software GL (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1), and the game's -headless option to load the configured lobby unattended, without Unity's -batchmode or -nographics flags. The wrapper explicitly re-enables Wine's X11 driver so an inherited headless environment cannot disable the virtual display. The batch-mode window path fails before the dedicated listener is created under Wine/Proton. AlphaGSM always starts from the upstream-required Default executable directory and passes the root-owned config as -config ../DedicatedServerConfig.json, so process and Docker runtimes consume the same module launch contract. Docker explicitly enables the Wine/Proton runtime image's matching 24-bit Xvfb display. AlphaGSM keeps the generated config aligned with the owned game port plus the basic lobby settings exposed through set.
