General Information
GTA Connected is designed as an empty sandbox, so minimal content is provided by default. At the very minimum, you'll need to have a resource that fades in the camera and spawns a player. This resource is already provided (called "freeroam") within the default server package on the main downloads page.
Resources
GTA Connected scripts and server-provided content are called "resources" and are located in the resources folder of your server's directory. Information on creating and using resources can be found on the resource info page. If you need scripting functions, the main page provides information on scripting functions and ID references. Example resources can be found here
Server Configuration
The server.xml file stores the basic configuration for your server. This file tells your server what resources to load, what port to run on, etc. There are lots of configurable options here. More information on the server.xml file can be found on the server configuration page.
Port Forwarding
Servers hosted from PC's at home will need to have ports forwarded on their LAN network. This is usually done within the router's configuration. The instructions for port forwarding vary per router so they won't be listed here, but here's a webpage with planty of information: portforward.com ... You'll need to open UDP and TCP ports for the server and HTTP connections. The default ports are 22000 for both, but these can be different depending on server configuration.
Linux Server
Instructions for setting this up can be found on the linux server page.
Windows Server
The windows server comes in both 32 and 64 bit architectures, so choose the one that corresponds to the host. More information on setting this up can be found on the windows server page.
