Improvements for the dedicated server

That looks like you try to use the client build as dedicated server. You should use the dedicated server build (can be found in tools in steam).

Yes so in other words when the give command is issued it checks a xml file for the allowed blocks which can also determine different permissions based on what you want each person with access to use. So if you have a full admin you can edit the xml and add as many items as you want for being admin and limit lets say moderators from giving out things like sniperRifles or augers....

Doing it this way would make it so server owners can limit what staff on the server has access to give to players.

Hm, will think about it ;)

Got the server fixes loaded on the latest dedi server. map rendering works fine and also render to file. The webserver starts up, but i get a blank red background only. Located an error message saying ../webserver/map doesnt exist. Shouldnt the webserver fetch the mapfiles for static?

Ok I found and installed the dedi server version found in Steam "tools" I don't know if this version existed when I first made my server so had no idea it was around.

Once I installed the dedicated server version of 7dtd I then reconfigured the server manager and also copied my world and configs over. I then replaced the the Assembly-CSharp.dll and added the other to the /managed folder under the proper dedicated server install. Still the SM will not recognize these allocs dlls nor the server start :? I am stumped. I figured installing it properly should have fixed it.

again any more help would be appreciated. The SM works just fine without the dlls but allocs dlls are really what I need. Thanks in advance.

Hello Alloc,

thanks for the new build 196 and the unban command. :)

Can you also add a suicide command for players on the server? I have many Players on my server which get stuck and can't get out of the hole in the ground. :)

 
Hm, looks like an error another guy had with the current update. Please delete the whole Managed folder and have steam verify the integrity of the local files (which will make it redownload managed), then put the mod in there agan.

OK did just that. Deleted the /managed folder then went into steam to tools and right clicked the dedicated server for 7daystodie then went to properties and had it verify integrity of the tools... It replaced 31 files. Copied the mod dlls into the folder yet again and restarted the server... same issue.

I had this same problem for some time until I stopped using Steam Tools to download the server and started using the SteamCMD, Never had the problem again after that.

Bah GAH @#$@#$ still nothing. I installed now the dedicated server using SteamCMD and then replaced the dlls as before... still not finding the allocs dlls in SM. Still server not starting when allocs DLLs are present.

 
I have been having similar problem. Dedicated LeetServer will not run with 7dtd-server-fixes.dll and Assembly-CSharp.dll uploaded to 7DaysToDie_Data/Managed folder. Am I missing something here?

Edit: To clarify as well, server was stopped during upload and started once completed. Also, restarted several times after to no avail.

Are you sure you got the latest mod files (i.e. rev 194 or later)? Old files won't work with the latest hotfix release.

Log? (symptoms may be the same but often the reason is not the same ;) )

Definitely positive just installed the 196 this time just to be safe. tried the 194 also. Still the same issue. I have no idea what could be the issue. reinstalled everything almost lost my world luckily the client has it too ~phew!~

Just tested it again on a Windows machine ... dedicated server build from tools menu, added the two DLLs and it just worked. Don't know atm what it could be that's going wrong there.

 
still not finding the allocs dlls in SM.

You wont find Alloc's dlls in SM unless your SM and server files are on the same PC Then you have to point the SM to your server directory so it can use the files. Like in this image.

Also make sure the commands work in game, Go in game and type "give" in console then tell us what you see.

Don't like to quote myself but you posted that its not found in the SM and that you can not start the server with the SM, This has to do with the SM you are using and if you do not have it configured correctly it will not work correctly, should have nothing to do with Alloc's files. So make sure you check that the commands are working in game and if they are then Alloc's files are not your problem but how you have the SM configured is.

10-4 They are on the same PC and the SM is pointed at the correct server files afaik, however when I run the server with the dlls replaced with allocs dlls whether with the SM or not. I cannot connect to the server. as soon as I put back the original DLLs its fine and works perfectly using the SM or not.

I will take some screenshots if you like maybe it will make more sense of the issues i am having.

Ok just recopied the DLLs to the folder /managed under the dedicated server. I cannot start the server using the SM or the rundedicated.bat neither one work if those DLLs have been replaced. The second I put the DLLs back to original there are no issues.

I am glad no one else is having this problem but also saddened that I am. Maybe with alpha 10 it will sort itself out.

I had the same issue when I was running the 32bit version of the server. Has anyone checked your log files to see if your running the 64bit?

Ooooh now that is a good question... it is installed in the program files x86 dir... but I will look through the logs. I didnt see an option for a 64 or 32 version in steam or steamCMD but it may be 32bit. I will look thru the log now.

Ok it is definitely the 64bit version as far as i can tell. Still same issue. I am stumped as to what can be causing this. Fresh Install newest DLLs only server and admin xml files and world copied over from last install... nothing else changed.
