Getting started

Overview

To be able to start a client or server, the directory should at least consist of the following assemblies:

Server

• SpeedDate.dll
• SpeedDate.Server.dll
• SpeedDate.Server.Console.dll
• SpeedDate.ServerPlugins.dll

Client

• SpeedDate.dll
• SpeedDate.Client.dll
• SpeedDate.ClientPlugins.dll
• SpeedDate.Client.Console.Example (replace this with your game-client)

1. Build the MasterServer

Right-click on project "SpeedDate.Server.Console" and select "Publish...", then click the Publish-button

2. Build the Spawner

Right-click on project "SpeedDate.Client.Spawner.Console" and select "Publish...", then click the Publish-button

3. Build the Game-executable

Build project "ConsoleGame", this can be replaced by your own Game later on

Adjust the path to the game-executable inside "SpawnerConfig.xml"

4. Run the MasterServer

Start a new PowerShell, cd to the repositories root folder. Step 1 should've created a new directory named "Deploy\Server". Start the server with the dotnet-command:

5. Start the Spawner

6. Start the Client

Inside Visual Studio, set "SpeedDate.Client.Console.Example" as StartUp Project & hit run:

The Client connects to the Master and starts a spawn-request. The Spawner will then spawn a new GameServer.
