Headless Client/Server

Headless Client/Server are Neos command line builds excluding graphical user interface, allowing them to run effectively in scenarios where rendering is not needed such as on a server. Neos Pro users and all Patrons at the level Gunter and up have access to Headless Client/Server builds. See Discord channel #headless-client or contact your administrator to get your access code.

Installation

• Use the SteamCMD command

app_update 740250 -beta headless-client -betapassword your_code

Alternatively if you're using graphical interface:

• Go to Steam, open Neos Properties and go to the BETAs tab
• Use your code to activate the beta branch
• Switch to the headless-client branch

Configuration

• After Steam updates, open the installation folder. You can find the headless client in the "Headless Client" subfolder.
• You can use the Config/DefaultConfig.json file to setup startup world or have it login into an account (don't use your main Neos Account)
