Server Hosting Guide
This page will give you a headstart on setting up your TFSMP server!
Download the server from the downloads page.
Download Python from here.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
In order for the TFSMP server to work, you'll need:
Basic computer literacy and an understanding of networks
Windows,Linux or MacOS
Python 3.10.0 or higher
Pip3
NOTE: The way to host as this guide only allows players with the same internet connection to connect, cannot be opened for other users to play. If you want to let people outside the network play, you need to host with a third party or open the port.
In addition, the server will close if you turn off the computer/close the python window.
Installation
Installation
Download the server in case you haven't done that yet. The server will be located in a .zip file, which you need to extract. The extraction location does not matter but ensure that you have sufficient permissions to access files in it.
Once the server is extracted, execute the Setup.py script in it. The script will check for updates and install necessary modules, and ask you to set up basic settings. You may either complete the setup wizard or skip it. The TFSMP settings are contained in a file called config.json, you may edit the file to change settings. It's recommended to keep the default settings, unless you know what you're doing.
Running
Running
In order to launch the TFSMP server, you need to run the index.py file in the server folder. If you see "TCP Server configured on (your address)", then the server is working correctly and is ready to receive connections!
