Getting a gameserver
I personally use https://www.vilayer.com/gaming-layer/gameinfo/rising-storm-2-vietnam.php.

For comparing reasons here are the facts (default hardware):
  • CPU: i7 4.2 ghz
  • RAM: 64gb DDR4
  • DISK: 1000GB SSD
  • UP/DOWN: 1 Gbit/s

But every gamehost wich allows FTP access should work.
Getting a FTP Client
I personally use Win SCP[winscp.net]


Important Note:
vilayer has no automatic disconnect. That means the timeout function of WinSCP will always trigger and ask you to reconnect, which is not neccessary.

When creating a new connection goto advanced settings, and under "Connection" set Timeout from server to 360 seconds and "Keep Alive Packets" to "none"

Enable Workshop download for your server
(so you can download maps and mods directly onto your server)

Make sure that the server is not running. If it is running, the Workshop setup will be overridden the next time you restart the server.
Add a new section to the ROEngine.ini config file (/rogame/config/ROEngine.ini):

[OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks]


For each Workshop item you want the server to download, add a
ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=<number>
line in that section. You can find the number by looking for the id= part of the the URL of the Workshop item in Steam (e.g. steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234567)

In case of "Green Army Men Christmas" the result is:
[OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks] ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=1620524040 ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=1623442084 ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=1588640319 ServerSubscribedWorkshopItems=1588360594


After you restarted the server goto the WebAdmin page (usuallly yourserverip:8090/ServerAdmin) and check if it says 1 Workshop object downloading. Refresh until it does not show this message and all your mods are shown in the list below.
You can also crosscheck by looking at the contents of the folder /rogame/Cache via your FTP Client. That folder should contain folder for every mod with the id as a name.
Enable Workshop download for the clients
(So clients can download the maps from the server)

This will only work for Workshop items that the server downloads itself, that are listed in the [OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks] section as described above.

  1. Make sure that the server is not running. If it is running, the Workshop setup will be overridden the next time you restart the server.
  2. Find the section [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] in the ROEngine.ini config file.
  3. Add the line "DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks" to that section. If there are other "DownloadManagers=" lines, make sure this one is the first.
  4. Do not delete anything from this section, except (optionally) other DownloadManagers= lines.

In my case it looks like this after all:
LanServerMaxTickRate=35 DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.TWWorkshopSteamworks DownloadManagers=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks.SteamWorkshopDownload DownloadManagers=IpDrv.HTTPDownload NetConnectionClassName=IpDrv.TcpipConnection
You are almost done
Now you can change the map (yourserverip:8090/ServerAdmin/current/change).

You will find the new game types Territories - GreenMenMod and Supremacy - GreenMenMod.
Of course you can also create a map cycle (yourserverip:8090/ServerAdmin/settings/maplist).


To change the map that is loaded when the server starts, you will need to edit the command line arguments for the server start. In case of vilayer.com goto "Services" -> "Command Line Manager" and create a custom commandline with option
Starting Map = GMTE-Christmas2018

The resulting commandline isnow:
GMTE-Christmas2018?MinPlayers=0?MaxPlayers=64 -seekfreeloadingserver -multihome=149.202.65.75 -port=7787 -steamport=27025 -log=serverlog.log
My gameserver
As of today it's the only server running Green Army Men Maps. And it just started tonight (2nd Feb 2019).

I hope we will get some players in the next couple of days and weeks.

  • Servername: FlaffiPony - Green Army Men Only
  • IP: 149.202.65.75:7787
  • Slots: 64
  • Location: Frankfurt(DE)
