Simplifying BO3 server installation for both vanilla BO3 and unofficial clients (like BOIII).
No copyrighted files are distributed using these scripts.
This repository merges configurations and scripts from these projects:
EZZ BOIII (currently the best custom client)
T7 Configuration files
BOIIIEasyServer
You can create servers on both Linux-based platforms and Windows.
- Clone this repository wherever you want to install the server
- Double click on
server_files_downloader.bat
- Wait for server files to download through steamcmd
- Wait for the custom client latest executable to download (currently EZZ BOIII)
- (For Custom Clients like BOIII) You can now edit
BOIII_Server.bat
andzone/server.cfg
(orzone/server_cp.cfg
orzone/server_zm.cfg
) with your desired settings - (For Custom Clients like BOIII) Launch your server using
BOIII_Server.bat
- (For official servers on vanilla BO3) Launch your server using
Launch_Server.bat
- Done!
Official BO3 servers only aimed for Windows support, but Wine can help us run it on Linux too.
- Clone this repository wherever you want to install the server
- Make
server_files_downloader.sh
executable usingchmod +x
and execute it with./server_files_downloader.sh
- Follow the setup "wizard" and confirm a bunch of wine required steps. Wait for server files to download through steamcmd
- Wait for the custom client latest executable to download (currently EZZ BOIII)
- (For Custom Clients like BOIII) Make
BOIII_Server.sh
executable usingchmod +x
. Edit yourBOIII_Server.sh
andzone/server.cfg
(orzone/server_cp.cfg
orzone/server_zm.cfg

Launch_Server.sh

The default server files only download MP-ready stuff. To serve a Zombies server you need to copy these fast files
from your BO3 game files and put them into zone
:
zone/en_zm_patch.ff
zone/en_zm_common.ff
zone/zm_patch.ff
zone/zm_common.fd
zone/zm_common.ff
zone/zm_levelcommon.ff
Let's say you want to create a Shadows of Evil server, you need to copy these fast files too.
zone/en_zm_zod.ff
zone/en_zm_zod_patch.ff
zone/zm_zod.ff
zone/zm_zod.fd
zone/zm_zod_patch.ff
- Unless you're playing LAN with friends, you need to port forward you router and open the ports used by your server in Windows Firewall.
- If you don't need any custom client, just delete
boiii.exe
. - Remember to change the port in
BOIII_Server.bat
if you're launching the server in the same machine where you're playing Black Ops 3. - To save space, you can delete any unused fast files in
UnrankedServer/zone
- (For Custom Clients like BOIII) To customise your server maps rotation and gamemodes just edit the files in
UnrankedServer/zone
,server_zm.cfg
changes zombies configuration,server.cfg
changes multiplayer configurations,server_cp.cfg
changes coop campaign configuration. These files can be executed even with the vanillaLaunch_Server.bat
but you need to edit it first to execute the desired cfg file.
