🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Groups/AlienSwarmIntelligents/announcements - Collection

http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Swarm_Dedicated_Server
* Go to the Tools tab in Steam and double click the "Alien Swarm Dedicated Server"
* A window will pop up with some server settings:
o Type in a Server Name.
o Type in an RCON password of your choosing.
o Click Start Server.

Some useful settings to customize once the server is running:

* Under the "Configure" tab, you can set the Default Campaign. When no players are on the server, it will default to this campaign.
* In the "Console" tab you can enter "sv_steamgroup <n>" where N is the ID of your chosen Steam Group. Players belonging to this group will see your dedicated server from the main menu. You can find your ID number by visiting your Steam Group admin page on Steam Community.

Examples:

- Places a fast reload bar under your actual marine so you don't need to look in the corner to time your reload. Or rely on the poor cursor fast reload bar.

openserverbrowser
