Dedicated Server Set Up

- Install regular Alien Swarm dedicated server. E.g. here D:\servers\Alien Swarm

- Copy reactivedrop folder into D:\servers\Alien Swarm

- Create config file D:\servers\Alien Swarm\swarm\cfg\reactivedrop01.cfg (for some reason it loads configs from swarm/cfg folder)

- Run server using following command D:\servers\Alien Swarm\srcds.exe -console -game reactivedrop -port 27045 -maxplayers 32 +map lobby +exec reactivedrop01
