OPP Server install and init

This is intended to provide basic guidance for installing and running a local OpenPerpetuum Server for the purposes of development and experimentation. This is NOT intended to be used for production installations.

Requirements:

• Windows 8.1+ OS
• The Perpetuum Server steam installer download (Steam>Library>Tools)

Procedure:

• Run the Perpetuum Server installer as provided via Steam.
• Ensure that MSSQL Server Express 2016 install successfully - if it fails you will need to install it manually.
• Clone and build https://github.com/OpenPerpetuum/PerpetuumServer (or use binaries as distributed internally)
• Drag/drop all of the binaries into C:\PerpetuumServer - choose to replace in all cases
• Clone https://github.com/OpenPerpetuum/OPDB
• Run the apply_all.bat script by double clicking the file

Running:

• Open the Admin Tool (icon should be linked on desktop)
• Start the server
• Login as ADMIN, set a password
• Add your accounts as you like with this interface
• Do NOT make your server public! Share the IP with your collaborators as necessary.

Common Issues:

• Depending on your setup you will need to change a NAT setting in the ini file.
• You may also need to open ports if you intend to have others connect. You will need 17700-17764 open and forwarded as necessary or required by your local networking (or review what zones are on what ports, and be more strict to that table).
