View source for Running a Local Server

This page describes how to run starcup SS14 locally for debug and experimentation. If you're looking for information on how to join our server, check out [[Getting Started]] instead.

Start by heading over to https://builds.starcup.cc/fork/starcup/ to download the latest server build. Our code is constantly changing. We typically release a new update nightly, so be sure to come back to this step frequently.

Once you've downloaded the server zip for your platform, extract it using your preferred archive manager program to somewhere on your computer. Navigate to where you've extracted it and run <code>run_server.bat</code> (or <code>run_server.sh</code>). You should now be able to connect to the server from the server launcher by selecting <code>Direct connect to server</code> and specifying <code>localhost</code> as the connection address.

If you wish to invite other players to your local server, you will need to provide them with a different connection address and possibly forward TCP and UDP ports 1212. Because of complexity, these are beyond the scope of this article.
