Server Help Minimum Files for Dedicated Server?

    I want to set up a dedicated server on a computer other than the one I play on. What are the minimum required files and/or directories that I need to transfer to that computer in order to make this happen? While I know I can just install Steam on that other computer and get the files that way I'd rather just transfer the minimum footprint needed.

    As an aside I would love it if there was a dedicated server install option for the game.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for the reply! That's helpful, actually. I think you're right, I might as well just continue to copy over the whole directory. I'm guessing, given what you've said, there are no plans for dedicated server-only install option?

    Part of what's driving my question is curiosity regarding the EULA. Is it a violation to copy your install to a second computer for the purposes of running a dedicated server? Do I need two licenses of the game to do that? I would hope not but you never know...

    I could not find an official post on the subject. The EULA isn't exactly clear on it either, this seemed to be the closest match I could find on private (noncommercial) servers:
    You would have to ask mollygos about it for a definitive answer.
