Improvements for the dedicated server

So you are running the client build -> the mod won't work as stated multiple times before.

 
ok, how do i get the server build installed? contact my server provider?

or can i do it myself from the ftp? and what can i use to install or download?

 
If you have a hosted server your provider has to install it. Depends on your provider if he'll do that, you just have to ask there.

Alternatively you can patch the DLL for the client build, but that won't be supported for a long time by the Pimps anyway so your provider would be better of switching to the dedi build right now anyway ;)

 
got it working, ended up having to do a full server wipe. backuped all game files so everything was the same.

might i suggest to go along with remove land protection entering the persons 64 steam id to remove all their land claims?

also via the list land protection i was able to discover dozens of land claims by this player as well as a floating iron walled structure

got another hacker out of all of frontrunnerteks server. we really do appreciate all the help the modders are giving. TFP should hire you guys

 
Removing all claims of a given player is on my todo list. Just currently very busy in real life ;)

 
Hi, Alloc!

At 1 server, i see one usefull chat-command: /voteban

If people see cheater - they can youse /voteban command and start a vote to ban or not to ban the same player.

look at that screenshots

..snip..

So, Alloc, if you can, please, do that thing. To my mind, it will be very usefull.

Regards, Hensley! :apthy:

Hi Hensley, after speaking with Alloc, I've added this functionality to my Server Manager app independent of the Server Fixes mod. The version just released supports it.

Cheers! (and thanks Alloc! :) )

 
so its nothing that interests me?

would be nice to have a mod that when you are looking at a person you can see their name, other than the quick flash up of their name. half the time you cant even see it

 
I really hate having to concede and ask for help but im really having no luck getting this to work with FRT SM. I downloaded and placed the two files into the managed folder of the 7 days to die dedicated server folder and have looked around a lot on the forums and with different options for some lead on this but im just lost.

 
Xyloscent do you host yourself or have a server company? if so which company?

if you host yourself did you download the 7 days to die dedicated server from the steam tools menu inside the library?

my issue was i had to backup, wipe my whole server, then reinstall the server. and restore the backed up world files and replace modified files. it worked after that.

As long as you don't want to patch AC#.dll yourself: yup.

Too deeply into the game. Also client side, which I do not do stuff for ;)

So what exactly is your problem? Does the server not start, there are errors or what is it?

lol, ya my bad, i was tired when i posted that and in a bit of a hurry as i was about to leave. As i said in the previous post I do have the dedicated server program downloaded from steam tools. I didn't mention, and im very embarrassed that i didn't explain more, that I host locally and just recently me and my wife have thought about opening up our games to others to enjoy as well. I picked up SM from FRT and spent a day or so last week and got that up running just fine but it always had that line at the top that says "Alloc's Server Fixes not detected". My wife asked some questions about it not being there so i looked into it and grabbed the files and put them into the dedicated server's Managed folder, that still didn't make it detected but everything else has been running fine. So i have been looking around in the program options and the forum for more instructions and or help and haven't found the answer yet so now im asking for help. Is there something simple im missing or do you need more info?

 
Check the log file "output_log.txt" (probably within the dedi server folder under "7DaysToDie_Data", check if the timestamp matches so you do not get an old file) if it contains a line looking like "1.234 [7dtd-server-fixes by Alloc] Version: 0.87.5322.42196" (at least the first number will vary, depending on when you downloaded the fixes the version part might differ too).

 
I want to thank everyone for their support... prompting me to look at my logs got me looking around again last night and i noticed my logs where not in the right place. Log story short I made a silly mistake, When it asked for my 7daystodie.exe path i put in the path to the main game for some reason and not the path to the Dedicated server, After changing it properly everything that i was having problems with started working just fine to my surprise as i thought some of them were unrelated problems. Ill actually be able to set everything right and use everything to my advantage now so in a few days we should be able to open our server to the masses. Once again Thanks and hope to see everone in game sometime.

 
Hi Nobbie,

thanks for pointing this out. Changed my build setup last night and forgot to update the links on the wiki page. They are corrected now :)

Regards,

Chris

 
Updated for A9, hadn't had any chance to test it besides starting the engine though. Would be glad for feedback if it works or not :)
