American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server

This will set up SteamCMD and all the required files for the newly released American Truck Simulator Dedicated server. Simply placed the exported server config from your ATS instance to the .local/share/American Truck Simulator/ folder and select start. Make sure that auto start is off on server creation to allow you to upload your config files.

ATSPtero - A Egg For Setting Up ATS Dedicated Server

Ports below are the default ports that are associated with the ATS dedicated server.

Port	default
Dedicated	27015
Query	27016

Adding moderators

To add moderators to your server instance you have to edit(.local/shared/American Truck Simulator/server_config.sii) example seen below:

moderator_list: 3
moderator_list[0]: Steam64_ID
moderator_list[1]: Steam64_ID
moderator_list[2]: Steam64_ID

^^^ Steam64_ID can be found by googling Steam ID Lookup

Enjoy your server

Once those files have been uploaded and configured you are free to start up your server. When the sever is started look for the line: Session search id: 00000000000000000/101 The number before the / is your search term. This is number to search for in the convoy screen to find your server. You can NOT search by the server name at this time. Example: if your number before the / is 987654321 then you would search for 987654321 on your convoy screen in game.

Steam Server Token

--A steam server Token is required--

Adding a server token received from registering your server at https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers be sure to use the correct App ID or your server will crash upon startup.

Disclaimer

I do not claim to know everything about this setup as I just got it reliably working myself and will update the egg if anything changes. That being said, if you have problems open up an issue and I will do my best to help if when I have the time.
