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. 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 server 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. You can also use a different file for your server config by starting the server with the -config option
Port Forwarding
Servers hosted from PC's at home will most likely need to port forward. 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 you can find instructions here ... You'll need to open both UDP and TCP ports for the server and HTTP connections. Some routers have an option to open both in the same forwarding rule. The default ports are 22000 for both, but these can be different depending on server configuration.
Linux
Instructions for setting this up can be found on the linux server page.
Windows
The windows server is made for x64 systems, however an x86 build can be provided on request. More information on setting up the server can be found on the windows server page.
