How to use

1. Download the BO3 Unranked Dedicated Server via Steam (It's located in the "Tools" section in your steam library.)
2. Open the Unranked Server folder in windows explorer (if you own BO3 on Steam and have it installed it will be in your BO3 Game Folder)
3. Add boiii.exe to the UnrankedServer Folder
4. Download this repository and extract the startup batch files as well as the boiii and zone folders to the UnrankedServer Folder
5. Edit the config(s) in /zone to your liking.
6. (Optional) Edit your game rules under boiii/gamesettings/mp.
7. Port forward UDP 27017.
8. Start the Server using BOIII_MP_Server.bat or BOIII_ZM_Server.bat

Additional Steps required for hosting Zombies Dedicated Servers

As of right now you need to take additional Steps to host Zombies Servers. For Zombie Dedis to work they need to have the Zombies Maps and common FastFiles, these do not come with the UnrankedServer Files. This means you need to copy those over from your installed BO3 game folder.

Copy common fastfiles that is needed for zombies.

zone/en_zm_patch.ff
zone/en_zm_common.ff
zone/zm_patch.ff
zone/zm_common.fd
zone/zm_common.ff
zone/zm_levelcommon.ff

Now for the map. Shadows of Evil is zm_zod.

zone/en_zm_zod.ff
zone/en_zm_zod_patch.ff
zone/zm_zod.ff
zone/zm_zod_patch.ff

from your BO3 Game folder into the UnrankedServer's zone Folder. Do the same with the FastFiles of the Maps you want to host on the Server, you do not need to copy the .xpak files, those hold Textures and Sounds which the Server doesn't need. You can use the zm_server.cfg as a short name references if you want to grab the others.

You are now ready to start the Server using BOIII_ZM_Server.bat. If the server still instantly closes while opening the BOIII_ZM_Server.bat or BOIII_CP_Server.bat. Check the console_mp.log from identities\dedicatedpc\ folder. Scroll down until you see "Could not find zone: xxxx".

t7-server-config's Issues

incorrect documentation in T7x_ZM_Server.bat for mods

The documentation in these files says:

Load a mod on your server Example: ModfolderName=mods/bots

however, this will not work to load a mod. if you follow this it results in the following error.
Command line: -dedicated +set fs_game "mods/zm_judge_noshield" +set net_port "27069" +set logfile 2 +exec server_zm.cfg Mod folder has an invalid character: mods\zm_judge_noshield. The folder must be a single folder name.

it needs the steam workshop id of the mod (no "mods/bots").

Load a mod on your server Example: ModfolderName=*steamworkshopid*

(Posted on boiii GitHub as well) Easy download of custom maps for dedicated servers

(I posted this in the boiii GitHub page but I thought it would be good to put it here as well, If this shouldn't be here please remove.) I would like to propose a feature I know it would be hard to develop and implement, but a dedicated tool to download mods/custom maps for dedicated servers on VPS/dedicated Servers. You can use SteamCMD to download maps from the workshop but 90% of the time downloads of custom maps timeout when using SteamCMD, I presume because of the size of the maps. This would be a good application and tool that is packed in with the server files.

New client fork?

Haven't heard of BOIII² and cant find it anywhere, is it private?
