Setting Up Tunnelcast

Grab the latest release and unzip everything into your game server's System directory.

Hit the Sign in button in the top right corner to create an account. Already logged in? Skip this step.

Head over to your dashboard and click Link Discord Server. Follow the prompts to connect your Discord server to your Tunnelcast account. If you get stuck, we've got a dedicated guide that walks you through it.

Now that your Discord server is linked, click Add Game Server in your dashboard.

First pick the Discord server you linked in step 3. The invite link is optional: players see it in the in-game Discord overlay.

Then turn on Post activity feed and choose the channel Tunnelcast posts in, such as #relay-chat. A channel that another of your servers already posts to is marked "in use".

Once everything looks good, hit Create Server and you're set.

Below the live feed you'll also see Live status message: one Discord message that keeps itself up to date with your server. It's optional, and you can turn it on any time. See Live Status Message.

Tunnelcast already includes a default Tunnelcast.ini in the download. After registering your server, copy the server token, open the Tunnelcast.ini file in your game server's System directory, and replace the Token value.

Remote control (kicking, banning, switching maps and restarts from the Portal) is on by default. If you'd rather not allow it, you can switch some or all of it off in this same file. See Remote Control.

There are two ways to get Tunnelcast running on your server:

• As a mutator: Pick Tunnelcast from the mutator list, or add Tunnelcast.MutTunnelcast to your mutator list.
• As a ServerActor: Drop this line into the ServerActors section of your UT2004.ini:

ServerActors=Tunnelcast.TunnelcastServerActor

Restart your game server and Tunnelcast will kick in. If everything went right, your server will show as online on the Tunnelcast portal dashboard and activity will start showing up in Discord.
