Improvements for the dedicated server

@Annihlator

I used the map.js provided (and tried the one from Prisma), added a cart.png to the images folder, verified permissions and I copied the prefabs.xml from folder into webserver folder but there is still no icon.

I am obviously not sane, could you please provide some more detail what step I could have missed or done wrong?

Nvm, probably a rights or size problem. Got a 32x32 cart.png and made sure it had the same rights as the others and now it seems to work...

Hm, yeah, basically it's not much of an issue, just has to be configurable ... And configuration is something I wanted to wait on til I can provide some generic storage for mods in 7dtd so it's not like it is now with everyone using his own stuff :D

I'll see about some simpler solution for now and get that added, but *most likely* not within the next two weeks.

That's cool! No hurry or anything. For now, I've got a little hack in place that proxies the commands through an API I control so I bypass CORS :p

Since I'm a bit further in my app now, I think that browser requests to the API will fail anyway because of mixed content (app is served through https but 99% of server maps aren't available over SSL).

Thanks for replying ^^

 
Hey Alloc. I was curious - what's the limiting factor keeping this on .NET 2.0/3.5? There's a lot of cool libraries I'd like to use in mods going forward, but the mod loader cannot "iterate over the types" in a .NET 4.0 mod because of 2.0->4.0 compatibility. 4.0 can load in 2.0 modules but not the other way around.

 
NICE! I like your built-in server and all, and seriously - props to you for writing it, because I started writing my own before I saw you already did it, but I'd really like to use my .NET WebAPI controllers with the .NET self-host and Newtonsoft.Json. There's a lot of nice libraries we can finally use now! Thanks!

 
I think you might be on the wrong forum here ... This is about 7 Days to Die, not any other game.

 
I have one question for the "hooks" section of your tools, Alloc.

As stated in the screenshots the hook files have to be in the hooks folder in the SDTD_BASE folder. Which one is that ? Im a bit lost since there is no folder named like this and i have no example folder to put stuff in.

Hooks are a way to add additional behaviour to the scripts. They are basically custom scripts that are called upon specific events. For example one could define a hook which is called on player connects and then send a message in the in-game chat to greet the new player.
All hooks have to executable files that are either placed in SDTD_BASE/hooks/<name of hook>/<any name>.sh for global hooks that apply to all instances or SDTD_BASE/instances/<name of instance>/hooks/<name of hook>/<any name>.sh for hooks that only apply to that specific instance. The folder <name of hook> has to be in exactly the same case as the hook name column in the table below shows it.

If you want to use the functions of the management scripts in your hook you can add this to the start of your script:

I just want to make an automated message before server restart happens.

PS: or is it possible to do that via cronjob too ?

Thx for the info - changed it.

But i found the solution, the SDTD folder itself is the right one.

Now lets see if i can manage to get messages done just before a (planned) server restart.

 
Getting a server setup for the A18 release.

Tried to look back a few posts to see if this was discussed, so sorry if it has been answered / asked.

Do you have a day 0 release for when A18 experimental comes out, or know if the present build works with the internal A18 build?

Thanks for your your time and insight.

 
A18 "requires" a new build due to a few changes (mostly networking + item icons). Uploaded one today, that should be fine with A18 stuff.
