How to install, configure and run a killing floor dedicated server on linux
First, go to https://store.steampowered.com/join/ and make a new Steam Account, then download steam
mkdir -p /home/unreal/steamcmd cd /home/unreal/steamcmd wget http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz ./steam.sh
On certain Linux distributions you may see an error message that something cannot be found etc, if so try this method of launch instead
STEAMEXE=steamcmd ./steam.sh
if it still fails try the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/steamcmd/linux32/ STEAMEXE=steamcmd ./steam.sh
For 64-bit Systems you may get the following errors:
steamcmd: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To fix this install lib32stdc++6
- For Debian based systems
apt-get install lib32stdc++6
- For Red Hat based systems
yum install libstdc++ libstdc++-4.4.6-4.el6.i686
Now to install killingfloor into our preferred directory
login username password force_install_dir /home/killingfloor app_update 215360 validate
If you encountered “ERROR! Failed to request AppInfo update, not online or not logged into Steam”
you must remove Steam folder from root directory
rm -rf ~/Steam
To update the installation in the future, run the following from terminal
SteamCmd +login user password +force_install_dir /home/killingfloor +ap_update 215360 validate
Starting The Server
ucc server KF-bioticslab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6
Enable the following server ports in your router and firewall!
7707 UDP/IP (Game Port)
7708 UDP/IP (Query Port)
7717 UDP/IP (GameSpy Query Port)
28852 TCP/IP and UDP (Allows your Server to Connect to the Master Server Browser)
8075 TCP/IP (Port set via ListenPort that your WebAdmin will run on)
20560 UDP/IP (Steam Port)
64 Bit systems will also need to install the following to get the server to run as it still uses 32 bit libraries
yum install glibc.i686
yum install libgcc_s.so.1
