Here's how to connect to your BATTALION: Legacy server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
  4. Find your server in the BATTALION: Legacy server browser – or add it in Steam under View → Game servers → Favourites with the IP and the query port (Ports tab).

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Server name (SERVER_NAME) – name in the server list.
  • Admin password (ADMIN_PW) – for admin commands.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • The portal generates the admin password automatically. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please note it down.
