For the best Metrostroi experience you should set up a dedicated server using Source Dedicated Server (srcds). This page contains instructions on how to set up a server, populate it with Metrostroi content and play on it.

{{Important|The machine on which you intend to run this server should be running Windows or a Windows virtual machine. This is because it is highly recommended to install Turbostroi, a Windows-only binary that allows far greater performance. Servers hosted on other operating systems will perform poorly without Turbostroi.}}
SteamCMD is a command line tool that makes setting up servers for Garry's Mod (and most other Source engine based games) very easy. You can download it for Windows and Linux from the [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_SteamCMD Valve Developer Wiki].

The easiest way to install addons on a dedicated sever is to connect the server to a Steam Workshop collection.  
Running the batch file will start to download a Garry's Mod to the "PATH_FOR_SERVER" directory you specified. This process may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.
+
 
= Creating a Collection =
+
If you will only be playing Metrostroi on this server, the [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1660685783 default Metrostroi collection] (ID 1660685783) will be adequate.
The most straightforward way to add mods to your server is to create a steam workshop collection. You can do this by navigating to the [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?section=collections&appid=4000 Garry's Mod Steam Workshop "Collections" section] and clicking [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/editcollection/?appid=4000 "Create Collection"]. When you've named and branded your collection head over to the Workshop pages for any of the mods you want to add and click "Add to Collection" then choose the name of your server collection. To install Metrostroi you add the following mods to your collection:
+
 
 +
Alternatively, you can add more content, even content not related to Metrostroi, by making your own collection. You can can do this [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/editcollection/?appid=4000 here]. (Make sure you are signed in to Steam on your browser before clicking this link or it will redirect you somewhere else) This collection should contain at an absolute minimum:
 
* [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=261801217 Metrostroi (Subway Simulator)]
 
* [http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=261801217 Metrostroi (Subway Simulator)]
* Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Content Pack part (1 to 6)
+
* Metrostroi Subway Simulator - Content Packs:
 +
** [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095094174 Part 1]

* [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1095130789 Metrostroi Subway Simulator -  Scripts]
* A Metrostroi map you want to use (mostly listed [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82 here])

* Any of the Metrostroi maps from [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/List_of_maps here] or [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=4000&searchtext=Metrostroi&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=items&requiredtags%5B%5D=Map here].
 +
 
 +
You must then append the server startup command-line with the following:
 +
<pre>+host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID</pre>
 +
{{Important|'''Replace WORKSHOPID with either 1660685783 (the default collection) or your own collection ID.''' A collection's ID is found at the end of the collection's URL.}}
 +
 
 +
==Configuration==
 +
A list of available convars is available [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/Console_Commands#Server-side_Commands here].
 +
 
 +
As a server administrator you can enable the use of Metrostroi trains on non-Metrostroi maps by unchecking the box "Require third rail" in the spawn menu (hold Q) under Utilities, Metrostroi, Admin. Many trains will still expect an ARS signal and may not work well without it.
 +
 
 +
The [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1838480881 Metrostroi Advanced] addon provides additional facilities for server administrators, as well as quality-of-life enhancements for players such as station teleports and an automatic train re-railer. It requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id ULX], which in turn requires [https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=557962238 ULib].
 +
 
 +
=Installing Turbostroi=
 +
Turbostroi speeds up the Metrostroi simulations by allowing the simulations to use multiple CPU threads, improving performance. A dedicated server with Turbostroi installed is often over 5x as fast as playing Metrostroi in the built-in Singleplayer mode in Garry's Mod.
 +
 
 +
{{Important|'''Turbostroi is only compatible with the Windows version of the Garry's Mod server. It is not compatible with Garry's Mod servers on other operating systems or the game itself.'''}}
 +
 
 +
Download the Turbostroi binary from [https://metrostroi.net/turbostroi here] and place it into the "/garrysmod/lua/bin/" folder in your server. Create the "bin" folder if it isn't already present.
 +
 
 +
{{Important|Because it is a DLL file, some web browsers may mark the Turbostroi file as harmful. This is a false positive and can be safely ignored. VirusTotal results for Turbostroi can be viewed [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fca58b3700d2753db783bb1d9cdec399ce5e3a8cb92eae6f47555093954982f0/detection here].}}
 +
 
 +
==Configuration==
 +
'''It is recommended to disable hyper-threading if possible.'''
 +
 
 +
You can set what threads Turbostroi should use to get even better perfomance:
 +
 
 +
This command sets the SRCDS main thread to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
 +
<pre>turbostroi_main_cores x</pre>
 +
 
 +
This command sets the Metrostroi train threads to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.
 +
<pre>turbostroi_train_cores x</pre>
 +
 
 +
For example, on a 4-core system you should set turbostroi_main_cores and turbostroi_train_cores to 8 and 7 respectively, or 128 and 127 respectively with hyperthreading enabled. This setup will run the main SRCDS thread on the last CPU thread, leaving the rest for Metrostroi.
 +
 
 +
=Connecting to the server=
 +
The method for connecting to the Metrostroi server varies depending on your circumstances.
 +
 
 +
==Localhost LAN==
 +
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on the same computer you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, you can run this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect localhost</pre>
 +
 
 +
==LAN==
 +
If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on a different computer to the one you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, if you know the other computer's local IP address (normally starting with 192) you can connect to it by running this in the Garry's Mod developer console: <pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre> (where IPADDRESS is replaced with the other computer's local IP)
 +
 
 +
You can find a computer's local IP address by running the [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ipconfig ipconfig] command in Command Prompt on Windows.
 +
 
 +
==WAN==
 +
If you are hosting the server on a computer on a different network to the computer on which you will be playing, or you wish to make your server open for multiplayer, you will need to forward ports 27005 and 27015 on the router for both TCP and UDP. The exact process for this varies between routers; [https://portforward.com/ portforward.com] hosts comprehensive guides for thousands of routers.
 +
 
 +
Once you have forwarded ports 27005 and 27015, you can connect to the server with its public IP address. You can find its public IP by opening [https://www.whatismyip.com/ this link] on the server computer. Run this command in the Garry's Mod developer console to connect:
 +
<pre>connect IPADDRESS</pre>
 +
(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the server's public IP). The server should also automatically appear in the server browser.
  
= Installing Mods =
+
You can password protect your server to prevent strangers from joining by adding the following to the /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file in the server: <pre>sv_password "PASSWORD"</pre> where PASSWORD is replaced with a password of your choice.
Using command line arguments you can configure your server to automatically install/ update all of the items in a collection. Save the following script as a batch file in the same path as your Garry's Mod server is installed.
 
<pre>
 
srcds.exe +maxplayers 20 -console +host_workshop_collection YOUR_COLLECTION_ID +gamemode sandbox +map NAME_OF_THE_MAP_YOU_WANT
 
</pre>
 
You can find the names of most metrostroi maps [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82 here] to replace "NAME_OF_THE_MAP_YOU_WANT".
 
'''Please note that the "gm_metrostroi_b50" has a lighting issue that may cause your server fail when starting up due to a "Engine hunk overflow!". To fix this simply add " +r_hunkalloclightmaps 0" to the end of your command line arguments.'''<br>
 
If you have followed the above steps correctly you should now have a fully functional Metrostroi server. If you don't, for whatever reason, the Garry's Mod wiki has a more general (but more detailed guide) on how to set one up [https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:Server_Owners here].
 
= Tips =
 
== Server.cfg ==
 
You can set the name, password, wagon limit and other important things by editing the "server.cfg" in "garrysmod\cfg". Below are some useful lines to put in this file:
 
* hostname "SERVER_NAME_HERE"
 
* metrostroi_maxwagons "WAGON_LIMIT_HERE"
 
* metrostroi_maxtrains "TRAIN_LIMIT_HERE"
 
* metrostroi_maxtrains_onplayer "MAX_TRAINS_PER_PLAYER_HERE"
 
== ULX ==
 
Add [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=557962280 ULX] to your server. ULX is an admin tool that will make dealing with players and changing maps much easier.
 
== Garry's Mod Wiki ==
 
Check out the [https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:Server_Owners "Server Owners" section on the Garry's Mod Wiki]. It has some helpful tutorials on [https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Loading_URL setting a loading screen] and other more advanced topics not covered here.
 
== Turbostroi ==
 
You can download the "Turbostroi" binary from [https://wiki.metrostroi.net/turbostroi.zip here]. Without it your server will perform quite poorly. Unzip the downloaded file and then place the ".dll" into your "garrysmod\lua\bin" directory as the README directs.

For the best Metrostroi experience you should set up a dedicated server using Source Dedicated Server (srcds). This page contains instructions on how to set up a server, populate it with Metrostroi content and play on it.

Important:The machine on which you intend to run this server should be running Windows or a Windows virtual machine. This is because it is highly recommended to install Turbostroi, a Windows-only binary that allows far greater performance. Servers hosted on other operating systems will perform poorly without Turbostroi.


Setting up a basic server

Follow this guide to install a basic Garry's Mod server. This server will have no extra content other than the base game. There are lots of high-quality server setup and maintenance guides available on Google/Bing/Yandex/etc.

Important:You must set the server tickrate to 33 or Metrostroi may be unstable. Add this to the server launch command-line:
-tickrate 33


Installing Metrostroi

The easiest way to install addons on a dedicated sever is to connect the server to a Steam Workshop collection.

If you will only be playing Metrostroi on this server, the default Metrostroi collection (ID 1660685783) will be adequate.

Alternatively, you can add more content, even content not related to Metrostroi, by making your own collection. You can can do this here. (Make sure you are signed in to Steam on your browser before clicking this link or it will redirect you somewhere else) This collection should contain at an absolute minimum:

You must then append the server startup command-line with the following:

+host_workshop_collection WORKSHOPID
Important:Replace WORKSHOPID with either 1660685783 (the default collection) or your own collection ID. A collection's ID is found at the end of the collection's URL.


Configuration

A list of available convars is available here.

As a server administrator you can enable the use of Metrostroi trains on non-Metrostroi maps by unchecking the box "Require third rail" in the spawn menu (hold Q) under Utilities, Metrostroi, Admin. Many trains will still expect an ARS signal and may not work well without it.

The Metrostroi Advanced addon provides additional facilities for server administrators, as well as quality-of-life enhancements for players such as station teleports and an automatic train re-railer. It requires ULX, which in turn requires ULib.

Installing Turbostroi

Turbostroi speeds up the Metrostroi simulations by allowing the simulations to use multiple CPU threads, improving performance. A dedicated server with Turbostroi installed is often over 5x as fast as playing Metrostroi in the built-in Singleplayer mode in Garry's Mod.

Important:Turbostroi is only compatible with the Windows version of the Garry's Mod server. It is not compatible with Garry's Mod servers on other operating systems or the game itself.


Download the Turbostroi binary from here and place it into the "/garrysmod/lua/bin/" folder in your server. Create the "bin" folder if it isn't already present.

Important:Because it is a DLL file, some web browsers may mark the Turbostroi file as harmful. This is a false positive and can be safely ignored. VirusTotal results for Turbostroi can be viewed here.


Configuration

It is recommended to disable hyper-threading if possible.

You can set what threads Turbostroi should use to get even better perfomance:

This command sets the SRCDS main thread to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.

turbostroi_main_cores x

This command sets the Metrostroi train threads to x, where x is a binary or bitwise value.

turbostroi_train_cores x

For example, on a 4-core system you should set turbostroi_main_cores and turbostroi_train_cores to 8 and 7 respectively, or 128 and 127 respectively with hyperthreading enabled. This setup will run the main SRCDS thread on the last CPU thread, leaving the rest for Metrostroi.

If you are playing by yourself and hosting the server on a different computer to the one you are playing on, the game server should appear in the LAN section of the server browser in Garry's Mod. Alternatively, if you know the other computer's local IP address (normally starting with 192) you can connect to it by running this in the Garry's Mod developer console:

connect IPADDRESS

(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the other computer's local IP)

You can find a computer's local IP address by running the ipconfig command in Command Prompt on Windows.

WAN

If you are hosting the server on a computer on a different network to the computer on which you will be playing, or you wish to make your server open for multiplayer, you will need to forward ports 27005 and 27015 on the router for both TCP and UDP.

(where IPADDRESS is replaced with the server's public IP). The server should also automatically appear in the server browser.

You can password protect your server to prevent strangers from joining by adding the following to the /garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file in the server:

sv_password "PASSWORD"

where PASSWORD is replaced with a password of your choice.
