Hosting a Server

There are two ports that Empeld needs to run (by default, can be changed in config):

• 43710 TCP & UDP (Game traffic)
• 43711 TCP (Server metadata and joining information)

All the configuration appears in the empeld.default.config file. Simple copy the file to empeld.config to set any of the configuration. This file is a way to specify any arguments that can be found by running empeld.exe --help.

The order of operations are:

1. Apply configuration defaults
2. Load empeld.config (if it exists)
3. Apply environment configuration, beginning with EMPELD_ eg EMPELD_PORT
4. Apply any command line arguments (Overriding anything else)

To add a user as op (aka Administrator)

Instead of controlling who can join with a password, you simple allow or forbid individuals with a whitelist. There are three ways to add or remove people from the whitelist.

To use whitelisting, it must be enabled in the server configuration.

• In the server's console, type whitelist USERNAME
• In the in-game chat (only if you're an administrator) type /whitelist USERNAME
• Add a list of usernames (separated by newlines) to a whitelist.txt file in the same directory as the server
