*DISCLAIMER, THIS USES DEDICATED SERVER TOOL. NO PORT FORWARDING NECESSARY*
IF YOU DONT WANT TO EDIT CFG FILES SKIP TO SECTION 3 AND USE DRAG AND DROP METHOD

(I recommend using my versus config at the end of this guide, it allows you to vote for whatever map you want at the end of each match.)

IMPORTANT STEP 0. DO THIS FIRST IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY: Navigate to this folder: Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\User-Id\22350\local\base Open your brinkconfig.cfg file.

Step 0. Find these lines:
seta com_unlockfps
seta com_unlock_maxFPS
seta r_visDistMult

Step 0. Change them to this: (THIS WILL UNCAP YOUR FRAMERATE AND KEEP THE GAME FROM STUTTERING)
seta com_unlockfps "1"
seta com_unlock_maxFPS "144"
seta r_visDistMult "1.2"
SAVE THIS FILE AFTER MAKING CHANGES

Step 1. Install Brink Dedicated server in your steam library (Simply search for it in your library or check your tools section.

Step 2. Right click Brink Dedicated server, hover over "Manage" and click "Browse Local Files", and open your "base" folder
Ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BRINK Dedicated Server\base

Step 3. Create a new text file and paste the following inside (For Resistance campaign) :

si_rules sdGameRulesCampaign
campaign set campaign_resistance
applyServerConfig Standard
si_maxPlayers 16
bot_minclients 16
si_botDifficulty 2
bot_aimSkill 3
si_minPlayers 1
si_maxPlayersHuman 16
si_playMode 1
si_onlineMode 3
spawnServer aquarium.entities

Step 4. Save as Campaign.cfg (can be named whatever you want).

Step 5. Launch the game, then alt tab and run your Brink Dedicated Server from your library

Step 6. Type exec Campaign.cfg (Or whatever you named the previous cfg.)

Step 7. Go back to your Brink game, navigate the main menu to freeplay, Search for LAN games and you should see your server pop up.

(That particular .cfg will allow you to start the resistance campaign from the beginning. SEE BELOW FOR MORE CFGS)

Step 3. NOTE THE ADDITION OF +exec versus.cfg This command allows you to run the .bat file and will allow you to simply run the .bat file to launch the server and remove the need to insert any commands into the server console
