[How do you host your own APB server?]

Got the same error

Update I saw that some of the files were .PL files so I tried installing Strawberry Perl but still can't get it compile. Is there a binary I can use?

Update 2: I tried the Perl shell and got a new error 

[11:21:24] The following error occured reading commands.xml: File does not exist: commands.xml at C:\Users\Leonard\AppData\Local\Temp\par-4c656f6e617264\cache-bc24ac4f73a4025440fd85523ba9cae090ca5db2\inc\lib/commands.pm line 45.

[11:21:24] Unable to continue, shutting down...

going to try to copy the commands.xml into the temp file

Update 3: I didn't copy the commands.xml but I ran the first Brenbot exe and its mostly working!

1 hour ago, triattack said:

you need to have both brenbot and server.exe running to make the server appear in the launcher. if brenbot immediately closes can you try starting it threw the command line.

Ok brenbot threw out an error:

[How do you host your own APB server?]

Ok what port should I use in my case the brenbot gamespy port?

Update: I tried "both" ports and they both took to the main menu.

Update 2: I got the wrong .exe file so I redid the connection and I couldn't connect I tried what looks to be the the official apb server on the Asterisk tool and that didn't work. (I had game.exe this time)

[How do you host your own APB server?]

How do you do that? I went into abp to the LAN list and didn't see anything

[How do you host your own APB server?]

Ok I thing I got everything setup properly however I can't see the server in the launcher here's my config files:tt.cfg server.ini ssgm.ini mapsettings.xml moderators.cfg brenbot.cfg APB_Public.ini MapGuard.xml gamespy.xml

Ah thanks! you I'll give it a go.

[How do you host your own APB server?]

I can't find any info on how to do this but the devs on the livestream said people can host their own servers so I guessed it might've been the dedicated sever option but when I do that the game just crashes.
