Dedicated Server
Binary
You will want to obtain the upstream FTEQW server binary for your respective platform.
If you run pterodactyl there is an egg that handles the Binary, Assets, QuakeC, and CVars for you.
For everyone else, you will need to download the Assets and QuakeC files when using upstream FTEQW. For assets, you will want to download pc-nzp-assets.zip and extract it to the same location as the binary, you should have the FTEQW binary and a directory called nzp beside it. For QuakeC you will want both fte-nzp-qc.zip and standard-nzp-qc.zip and you will want to extract them inside the nzp folder. The NZP folder should now contain some .dat files. After that, you can run the binary with the -dedicated argument and with the below cvars outlined.
Web
Defining a Port
You would use the sv_port_tcp cvar to specify which port the WS server will run on.
Protocol Name
com_protocolname = NZP-REBOOT-WEB
The dedicated server runs a websocket server, you will need to type explicitly connect ws://ip:port into your console on an HTTP (not S) page of the web client otherwise the browser will block the connection.
Desktop/Native
Defining a Port
You would use the sv_port cvar to specify which port the UDP server will run on.
Protocol Name
com_protocolname = NZP-REBOOT
Custom Tick Rates
sv_mintic is how frequently (in seconds) physics frames are calculated. The default value is 0.045, every 45 milliseconds, it calculates the physics. Be careful with raising this value too high as the more times per second the physics are calculated, the more packets are sent out and can be very bandwidth intensive, this becomes more apparent at higher rounds. With that being said though, 0.045 may be too high/slow and can lead to some physics issues such as zombies getting stuck on the ground/terrain, unable to climb stairs (observed on NDU), etc.
