HELLION, Basic Configuration Guide
This guide will show some basic server configuration.
First of all, some general information:
HELLION is multi-player ONLY, however, it doesn't prevent you from playing solo as the only active player on a server. There is really no need to demand single-player or local LAN servers, as this is already possible by running a server on your owm - protected from outsiders.
There are 3 kind of servers availible NOW for HELLION: public servers, private (rented) servers from game server providers and self-maintained dedicated servers (to run on your own hardware)
Originally, self-maintained servers were not planned by Zero Gravity for the initial early-access release of HELLION, but they changed their mind after getting some messages from players urgently requesting that feature.
Basic Configuration
Put in a password in server_passwordif you want to make other people unable to join your server without knowing your password.
Put in ports number in game_client_port and status_port. The ports number can be a unique port numbers depending on your PC or router availability. If not just use same value 5969 or 5970. These port numbers need to be forwarded later in your router to allow people to join in and also for the Hellion lobby
server to list your server (if not, it may show up as Offline or not at all).
Put in max_players to limit number of players or no at all. This to control number of players connected to your server at a same time. More players = more CPU power and RAM needed,more bandwidth required = lag or performance issue if insufficient.
