How to run Dedicated server and game client on the same computer behind router:

Create new shortcut for HL, rename it to "HL Dedicated", Click
shortcut properties and add there parameter -i dedicated, It will look
like this:

Code:

"C:Program Files (x86)HyperLobby clienthyperlobby.exe" -i dedicated

This will create hl instance named dedicated
Run HL Dedicated shortcut, create dedicated server
account, setup dedicated server (use another port than default, for
example 27020 and also dont forget to forward this port at your router
back to your computer ip), start

the server ...
Edit the HL dedicated server shortcut again and add there -a parameter si it will look like this:

Code:

"C:Program Files (x86)HyperLobby clienthyperlobby.exe" -i dedicated -a

Clicking this shortcut HL will start, register the server to the HL and run the server.
Log in to HL using your origional HL shortcut (without
parameters). You will see your server there but its not all if your
computer do not using public ip and is hiddden behind NAT router. In
this case you need setup loopback by those two steps (can be done also
via HL configuration editor):
- enable loopback by chat command:
  
  Code:
  
  /sg loopback=1
- setup loopback IP (your computer ip, for example used 10.1.1.10) by chat command:
  
  Code:
  
  /sg loopbackip=10.1.1.10

Enjoy

How to run Dedicated server and game client on different computers with the same steam account:

(note: i continuously got steam disconnect
messages from the dedicated server in both steam online and offline
modes. The server was functional from few hours to few days and i
consistered is definitely as game issue, so do not discuss it here)

At your main computer logof and exit steam
At server computer instal steam, log your account and install/patch IL2CLOD
Run il2 clod first time so it will initialize its own profile.
It may crash if you run it via remote desktop, but do not care, the
profile wil be created ...
Switch steam in to offline mode (mandatory)
Setup hl dedicated server by steps 1,2,3 from previous guide.
Login steam at your main computer, connect HL, setup loopback
if you and your server is behind the same NAT router (IP must match
internal ip of server computer)
Enjoy
