Improvements for the dedicated server

If you build the files yourself you'll get a different version number as the last two parts are generated on build based on day + time.

 
Any idea why sometimes the map tool works fine, while other times it won't actually show who's online or update their location? It will generate the mapped area just fine though.

Typically resetting the server resolves it, but sometimes it just seems to be hit or miss.

I'm running your dedi build on Linux and use Chrome as my main browser. Seems to happen in IE just the same though.

 
The used HTTP server library (part of the .NET library) seems to be a bit picky on what it delivers and what not ;) For me it happened very rarely but most of the time refreshing the page worked. I may be going with a different solution in the future that should be more stable though, as it indeed is annoying that way :)

 
Trying to get the mapping working for the first time. I have received below line, however it says authentication disabled. How do I enable? Does this mean the port is closed and I need to contact server host to open?

authentication is a way to protect the map link so only you can view it, to do this you create a blank file named "protect" with no file extention and place it in the root of the webserver folder, You should be able to access the map with or without this file by going to the correct link which is http://SERVERIP:WebPort+2

 
Thanks for the response, but I should have been more clear. I am going to the http site, yes it is the console plus 2, but I am receiving the page can't be displayed. So that is why I was wondering if maybe the port is closed????

Have ticket in with server company to ensure it is open, don't know what else to do.

Could be a port closed but you would have to post your output_log.txt here in order for anyone to look and see exactly what is going on. Make sure you try to view the page before posting the log file that way the information will be logged by the server.

 
Noticed zooming in and out on the webserver map is causing errors in the server console. Seems when you zoom in and out its resetting the connection.

Code: 
INF Error in Web.HandleRequest(): Remote host closed connection
 
Does anyone know if this Server fix will work with a server hosting site, such as Purepings.com?

It should work with a hosting site as long as you have access to upload the file with a FTP connection, It's always good practice to check with your hosting company before trying this or make a backup of the original file.

Makes sense, if the request isn't handled before you actually drop the request on the browser the server sees this as a closed connection. Nothing out of the ordinary here ;)

 
Good work. Will there ever be a possibility for adding markers and such things to the map? Would love these feature.

 
Not planned, also I don't see that much of a benefit for admins with such function (remember this is meant to be an admin interface in the first place, not for players ;) ). Markers might make it to the game itself sometime maybe.

Ticket answered from Gameservers.com and they opened the port. Map is now fully functional. Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize what I was missing. Great job on the mapping Alloc.

 
Hi just a quick support question.

I added http://svn.illy.bz/7dtd/binary-improvements/bin/Release/

to my managed folder and renamed it from patched etc. Followed the instructions and the server simply would not start.

I did a lot of googling and found a few people with the same issue but no real solution. I also tried downloading https://7dtd.illy.bz/browser/binary-improvements/bin/Release?rev=218 , and replaced the dll's in my managed with them but with no luck.

I'm running Windows Server 2012 VM.

The only errors I could find was that the level's got corrupted? but i tried reinstalling fresh with alloc's dlls and still did not start the server.

I'm running the latest 10.4 (b9).

Thanks for all the help in advance.
