Getting-started

Open a terminal window. To verify that Docker is installed and running, enter the following command:

docker --version

You should see the Docker version information displayed.

Pull-BC2ROME-Docker-Image

Get Docker Image

sudo docker pull russianvivi/bc2rome:latest

Managing-Server

Once the Docker image is downloaded, you can start the container to run the server.

cd ./bc2rome

sudo docker container run -p 19567:19567/udp -p 5900:5900/tcp -p 48888:48888/tcp -v .\Instance\bc2rome/Instance:/project/R34_Full/Instance" russianvivi/bc2rome:latest

It may be that some distributions need the absolute path

sudo docker container run -p 19567:19567/udp -p 5900:5900/tcp -p 48888:48888/tcp -v "<absolutePath>bc2rome/Instance:/project/R34_Full/Instance" russianvivi/bc2rome:latest

To determ the container id run:

sudo docker container ls

Use Container ID to kill

sudo docker container kill <CONTAINER ID>

Accessing-Server (Client)

It's essential to ensure that you have the latest game update installed and ProjectRome After downloading Project Rome, follow these steps:

• Unzip the downloaded file to extract its contents
• Locate the file named dinput8.dll from the extracted files
• Place the dinput8.dll file into your game directory

Game-Server-Configuration

You can configure a lot on R34, for comprehensive documentation, you can download DOCS here (not uploaded by me). However, here's a quick overview of the basic configuration steps:

Open ServerOptions.ini

nano ./Instance/ServerOptions.ini

• Change your Admin Password (RemoteAdminPassword=Password)

• Change Server Name (Name=ServerName) This refers to the name of your game server, which will be displayed in the server browser.

Open Startup.txt

nano ./Instance/ServerOptions.ini

• Change/Remove Banner (Remove all or replace Url (512x64 smaller than 127kb, .PNG format))

#Banner vars.bannerUrl https://i.ibb.co/ZXd7QzS/banner.png

Open maplist.txt

nano ./Instance/mapslist.txt

• First line is gamemode for example RUSH CONQUEST etc. Example:

RUSH

Levels/MP_002 0

Levels/MP_004 0

Levels/MP_005GR 0

Levels/MP_006 0

Levels/MP_007GR 0

Levels/MP_008 0

Levels/MP_009GR 0

Levels/MP_012GR 0

Levels/BC1_Oasis_GR 0

Levels/BC1_Harvest_Day_GR 0

Levels/MP_SP_002GR 0

Remember maps are gamemode dependent!

See all Map names in DOCS, Map always starts with Levels/!

Easy-Administration-Procon

For easy administration download Procon from here. Create Connection, enter public IP:48888 from your server and enter password which we set in ServerOptions.ini in /Instance Folder (RemoteAdminPassword) and connect.
