hosting a dedicated server

[jackwi]

We can now host an dedicated server for free. when you read the blog you read you need to use SteamCMD for installation with the Steam IDs American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server ID = 2239530
So were do we put that ID number ?

just download the server software from Steam, you dont need to use CMD on windows if you own the game

So what do you need to start first is that the game ATS and then the ATS dedicated server, ore first ATS dedicated server and then ATS

SteamCMD is only for those who do not own the game.
The rest of you can find servers in your steam client library (you must enable tools to be shown).

Or you can find them in steam client library using the steam id.

if you run the DS on a secondary box you need to run the system with SteamCMD

How to get started?
Installed.
Window pops up, runs, "Error server packages file not found".
window closes.
Please help me.
No "readme" in folder...
(Yes, my own game.)
Is there any "more detailed" description?

There is server_readme.txt . (In steamapps\common\American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server\server_readme.txt)

Anyway you are missing game configuration (map, dlc list, mod list). This can be exported from your game (to mirror your setup).

In config.cfg enable set g_console.
When game is running press `~` to open console and run `export_server_packages` or `export_server_packages destination file` command. server_packages.sii will be generated in the game home folder. It is necessary for map to be loaded when this command is called.
