[QUOTE="CMOGAMING, post: 39, member: 1"] [B]Automating DayZ Server Setup with SteamCMD[/B] This document explains the steps involved in automating the download and installation of SteamCMD, setting up the DayZ server repository, and populating the repository with the core server files. [HEADING=2]1. Downloading and Installing SteamCMD[/HEADING] The first step in the process is to download and install SteamCMD, the tool required to manage and update Steam-based game servers. [HEADING=3]Code Block for Downloading and Installing SteamCMD:[/HEADING] [CODE=bash] @echo off REM Step 1: Define directories set "scriptsDir=%~dp0..\..\..\steamcmd" set "zipFile=%scriptsDir%\steamcmd.zip" set "steamCmdUrl=https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip" REM Step 2: Create the /scripts/steamcmd directory if it does not exist if not exist "%scriptsDir%" ( echo Creating directory %scriptsDir% mkdir "%scriptsDir%" ) REM Step 3: Download steamcmd.zip echo Downloading steamcmd.zip... powershell.exe -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri '%steamCmdUrl%' -OutFile '%zipFile%'" if not exist "%zipFile%" ( echo Failed to download steamcmd.zip. Exiting... exit /b 1 ) REM Step 4: Extract steamcmd.zip to the /scripts/steamcmd directory echo Extracting steamcmd.zip... powershell.exe -Command "Add-Type -AssemblyName 'System.IO.Compression.FileSystem'; [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory('%zipFile%', '%scriptsDir%')" if not exist "%scriptsDir%\steamcmd.exe" ( echo Failed to extract steamcmd.exe. Exiting... exit /b 1 ) REM Step 5: Clean up by deleting the zip file echo Deleting steamcmd.zip... del "%zipFile%" [/CODE] [LIST] [*][B]Key Process:[/B] This script defines the SteamCMD directory and creates it if it doesn't exist. The `Invoke-WebRequest` command downloads the SteamCMD zip file. After downloading, the script extracts the zip file and checks if `steamcmd.exe` exists. If the download is successful, the zip file is deleted to clean up. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]2. Creating the DayZ Server Repository[/HEADING] After installing SteamCMD, the next step is to create a folder that will act as the DayZ server repository, where the server files will be stored. [HEADING=3]Code Block for Creating the DayZ Server Repository:[/HEADING] [CODE=bash] REM Step 7: Create the /scripts/dayzserver directory (AGSR) if it does not exist set "AGSR=%~dp0..\..\..\dayzserver" if not exist "%AGSR%" ( echo Creating directory %AGSR% mkdir "%AGSR%" ) [/CODE] [LIST] [*][B]Key Process:[/B] The script sets up the Active Game Server Repository (AGSR) by creating a `dayzserver` folder within the `/scripts` directory. This folder will be used to store the core server files for DayZ. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]3. Downloading and Populating the DayZ Server Files[/HEADING] Once SteamCMD is installed and the DayZ server repository is created, the script uses SteamCMD to download and populate the repository with the DayZ server files. [HEADING=3]Code Block for Downloading and Populating DayZ Server Files:[/HEADING] [CODE=bash] REM Step 8: Run steamcmd.exe to install DayZ server in /scripts/dayzserver echo Installing DayZ server to %AGSR%... "%scriptsDir%\steamcmd.exe" +force_install_dir "%AGSR%" +login "%STEAMUSERNAME%" +app_update 223350 validate +quit [/CODE] [LIST] [*][B]Key Process:[/B] SteamCMD is executed to force the installation of DayZ server files into the `dayzserver` directory (`%AGSR%`). The Steam username (`%STEAMUSERNAME%`) is prompted from the user earlier in the script. The `app_update 223350 validate` command is used to download and validate the DayZ server files. The `+quit` flag ensures SteamCMD exits automatically when the process completes. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Putting It All Together[/HEADING] The script automates the entire process of: [LIST=1] [*][B]Downloading SteamCMD:[/B] Downloading and setting up SteamCMD on your server. [*][B]Creating a Server Repository:[/B] Setting up the directory structure for the DayZ server repository. [*][B]Installing the DayZ Server:[/B] Using SteamCMD to download and validate the DayZ server files in the specified directory. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Additional Notes[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][B]SteamCMD Login:[/B] The script prompts for the Steam username before running SteamCMD. [*][B]Customization:[/B] You can adjust the paths and settings in the script based on your specific directory structure and needs. [/LIST] [HEADING=2]Example Workflow:[/HEADING] [LIST=1] [*][B]Run the Script:[/B] When you run the batch script, it automatically handles all the steps mentioned. [*][B]Verify Installation:[/B] Once the script finishes, navigate to the `/scripts/dayzserver` directory to verify that the DayZ server files are installed. [/LIST] This document provides a breakdown of the code used in each process of automating the DayZ server setup using SteamCMD.
