Set your computer to a static IP on your network using your Router or Gateway's web interface.

By default, Grimoire uses the following UDP ports:27015 and 7777. Read the "Server Configuration" section if you would like to change these 2 Ports. Additionally Grimoire uses UDP ports 7778, 13000 which cannot be changed.

Ensure that all listed ports are forwarded in your router to your IP address using Port Forwarding or set your Static IP in DMZ mode.

Ensure that UDK.exe is allowed in the Windows Firewall.

Located in your "*/SteamApps/common/Grimoire Manastorm" Folder is a batch file named Dedicated Server Loader that can be run to load a dedicated server. Make sure to run this batch file as administrator.

If upon attempting to run your dedicated server, you receive the following error: "Log: UDP recv from error: 2" your ports are not properly configured and your server is not communicating properly with the steam master server.

This means It will not show up on the Server list.

Your config directory can be located in:
"/SteamApps/common/Grimoire Manastorm/UDKGame/Config"

To set the server name, open UDKGame.ini and press "CTRL + F" type "ServerName" in the box. Replace anything after the "=" with your desired server name.
Keep in mind that the In-Game Server Browser doesn't scroll names so making it too long will make ping time and player count not visable.

To set the max players, open UDKGame.ini and press CTRL + F type "MaxPlayers" in the box, Replace anything after the "=" with your desired max player count (Ideal/Optimized size: 8-16, Max: 64)

If you would like to run your server on different ports other than default follow the steps below:

1.Open UDKEngine.ini and press "CTRL + F" type "Port" in the box. Change the number after the "=" as desired and make sure the port forwarding steps from the section "Preparing Network" are properly changed.

2.Open UDKEngine.ini and press "CTRL + F" type "QueryPort" in the box. Change the number after the "=" as desired and make sure the port forwarding steps from the section "Preparing Network" are properly changed.

If you wish to use a different level then conquest_slums or change the game mode to Free-For-All Open the "Dedicated Server Loader.bat" file in notepad or any other word processing application and replace

"conquest_slums" with one of the levels below:

conquest_forest
conquest_market
conquest_quarry
conquest_slums
conquest_temple
FFA_quarry
FFA_Slums

Here are 2 examples of an edited "Dedicated Server Loader.bat" file:
Binaries\Win32\UDK Server conquest_forest
Binaries\Win32\UDK Server FFA_slums

To change the Map rotation and or Game type open UDKGame.ini and press "CTRL+F", type "Grimoire.GrimoireGameinfo"

and use one of the 2 "GameSpecificMapCycles=" listed below.

GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="GrimoireGameMode_Conquest",Maps=

("conquest_slums","conquest_quarry","conquest_market","conquest_temple","conquest_forest"))

GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="GrimoireGameMode_FFA",Maps=("FFA_Slums","FFA_quarry"))

You are free to customize the rotation as you please.
Deleting a map name will make it so your server doesn't play that map.
You can also rearrange the map rotation order by moving the names around.

These are additional server commands that can be added with a "-' before the command inside the bat file for

example "nohomedir" is typed in the .bat file like this "-nohomedir" without the quotations. So the batch file will look like this
Binaries\Win32\UDK Server conquest_forest -dedicated -port=7777 -configsubdir=foldername -NOHOMEDIR

-port=xxxx : Force the dedicated Server to run on a specified Port. The Default Port is 7777.

-configsubdir=foldername : Additional Config Directory. Make a new folder inside "/SteamApps/common/Grimoire and replace "foldername" with the name of the folder.

Manastorm/UDKGame/Config" Copy all the .ini files from "/SteamApps/common/Grimoire Manastorm/UDKGame/Config" into the new folder rename the folder to something like Conquest or FreeForAll.
You can have as many extra config folders as you want just change the "foldername" in the batch file to what ever you named the extra config folder.

-NOHOMEDIR : Override use of My Documents folder as home directory. Used in conjunction with "-configsubdir=foldername".

-ONETHREAD : Run the engine using a single thread instead of multi-threading. Useful for machines with Multiple Single Core CPU's installed.

-PREFERREDPROCESSOR : Set the thread affinity for a specific processor.

-USEALLAVAILABLECORES : Force the use of all available cores on the target platform.

The easiest way to achieve this is to hit 'Ctrl + C' then 'Y', then 'Enter' inside of the server window.

If you manually close the window using the X button, double check your processes in task manager to make sure to End task on any background processes labelled 'BUILT WITH UDK', "DualMode2", "UDK.com" or "UDK.exe"

“Having had a lil’ play, it’s got some good ideas. Character selection is determined by which school of magic you specialise in, which can then be customised with utility and mobility spells.”

Grimoire's Current Modes
Conquest - Magnus and Validus battle over control of key sources of magical energy known as ley-lines. The longer the ley-lines are held the more energy is gained including a large influx of power if one house can manage to take total control of an area. Destructible objects can reveal new territory or bring the environment crashing down on your enemies. Inspired by games like Day of Defeat, the Battlefield series, and Team Fortress 2; Conquest is a territorial battle that features large (8v8) teams.

Free-For-All (Deathmatch) - Chaos reigns supreme in this fight to the death. This classic game mode is a great way to try out the game without worrying about objectives.

Their feuds spills blood in the streets while a yet-unseen power rises in the south...
