Game Input Command Server (Windows)

Installation

• Local Link

Starting and running the Server

Note: This requires Admin access rights to start a Network Server. I'm going to see if I can get around needing it, but until then it will ask when you launch. One of the many reasons I wanted this open source so people can verify this software is all above board. :)

1. Extract the files from above to a location of your choosing (I'll look at adding an installer)
2. Run the Application. When asked approve running it as Administrator.
3. Three fields to be entered:

• Port: This is the port the server is running at. The GIC Client will need to use the same value, these numbers need to match!
• Password: This is the password to prevent just anyone from connecting to the server. The GIC Client needs to use the same password
• Target: This is the "name" of the application window. For example Star Citizen uses "Star Citizen" (without quotes). Notepad by default is "Untitled - Notepad" If you Alt tab, you'll see the title of the window at the top of each thumbnail. That's the text to use.

Click Start to begin!

Notes

• The Client will also need to know your computers IP Address - if you are unsure how to get that, try this link below - I'll look at adding that information to the server itself in the future. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/find-windows-10-device-ip-address/
• If you are running a firewall, and I hope that you are, you may need to open up the port (see above) to allow the client to see this server. If so, try the information in this link: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-open-firewall-ports-in-windows-10,36451.html
