I'm trying to host a server for Coldest, so some people have a chance to play together. What needs setting up? I don't see any configuration settings for a server (not to mention that my controls keep reverting to default every time the game starts). What ports need opening, particularly in case of a firewall?

Hmm, thought I fixed that controls problem.  Apparently not.  Undecided

I probably need to do some documentation on the server (and ship the dedicated server with the game so people don't have to compile their own), but it hasn't been a big priority up to now.  I will try to get something written up in the near future though.

In the meantime, it should be sufficient to open port 12010 (and maybe 12011, although IIRC that port is only used for LAN games) and click the Host button to start a server in-game.  Unfortunately that requires you to be constantly in the game yourself to keep the server going, so it's not ideal.

I've posted some documentation on the dedicated server: http://www.coldestgame.com/site/content/dedicated-server

Let me know if you have any questions.
