Improvements for the dedicated server

Alloc · Jul 19, 2015

Probably, but haven't looked into this yet. Currently busy (in the time I can allocate to this mod) with updating the web stuff so adding such a command will take some time.

qriff · Jul 19, 2015

I assume you're talking about the management scripts and not the mod (as the mod doesn't have any update feature).

I assume your mod is updated via the script update. Which doesn't for some reason seem to behave.

We have the give / li issue "item not found" (the mod issue, rev. 243 (0.12.0.0)), even with the latest updates (7dtd.sh scriptupdate). Fresh install when 7dtd v12.0 was released, updated to v12.3.

Code:

engine/Mods/Allocs_CommonFunc/7dtd-server-fixes_version.txt
Version:       0.12.0.0

Code:

# 7dtd.sh updateengine
Success! App '294420' fully installed.

# 7dtd.sh updatescripts --force
A newer version of the scripts is available.
Local:     v.93 (supported dedi build: 682942)
Available: v.93 (supported dedi build: 682942)

Please check the release notes before continuing:
 https://7dtd.illy.bz/wiki/Release%20Notes

NOTE: The newer scripts are made for a more recent build (682942) of the dedicated server than you are running (697925)!
You will have to update the engine after updating to those new scripts!

Continue? (yn) n
Canceled

# 7dtd.sh updateengine
Local buildid:     697925

WARNING!!! The currently installed version of the scripts might not support the newer dedicated server build!
If you continue you might not be able to start the server.

Continue? (yn) n

We also appear to run a more recent? version "(697925)".

The wording seems to be reversed for the notice:

Code:

NOTE: The newer scripts are made for a more recent build (682942) of the dedicated server than you are running (697925)!

should probably be:

Code:

NOTE: The newer scripts are made for an older build (682942) of the dedicated server than you are running (697925)!

Is there a specific reason as to why the version command reports 4 instead of whatever it's you consider proper to display? Like rev. 243 (0.12.0.0).

Code:

The mod doesn't allow you to remove permissions (commands) listed in admins.xml that are not implemented in the mod.

Code:

&lt;permission cmd="mercy" permission_level="13" /&gt;

Code:

cp list
13: mercy
cp remove mercy
"mercy" is not a valid command.

Yep, the versions of the mods are according to the mod interface definition of the game. The number used on the wiki didn't even update for now as it would have broken the data file again and won't be used in future anymore.

The mod doesn't allow you to remove permissions (commands) listed in admins.xml that are not implemented in the mod.

Not related to the mod but core game. But I also don't see any reason why one should be able to edit permissions of commands that don't even exist?

its possible to able to track zombies, suply crates animals ?

You mean like how CBSM does it? Most likely yea, but I'm sure alloc is pretty busy and would take a great deal of time to actually add. I'm still hoping for just having the time displayed

It's not in atm but it obviously could be done (and is planned for a later version).

Already in, just have to clean up a lot of stuff so I can make a proper build

schuede · Jul 22, 2015

yes like they do, because the map on csbm, need more time to load, than my directed by ip...

schwanz9000 · Jul 22, 2015

I know you and the rest of the team are extremely busy, but what are my chances of getting that web-api? Does asking with "pretty please with sugar on top" work?

Probably mostly depends on how much other work I have to do today / this weekend Shouldn't be too complex but not sure right now. Again *maybe* this weekend.

Already in, just have to clean up a lot of stuff so I can make a proper build

THANK YOU Alloc! :rockon:

Alloc you wanted a log for my issues. Where do I go to get that? I'm seeing lots of logs in the install directory.

I found an output log and this was in it:

Sounds like you're using the Client version and not the actual Dedicated Server Version

(https://7dtd.illy.bz/wiki/Dedicated%20Server%20Build - Library -> Tools -> 7 Days To Die Dedicated Server)

It's not in atm but it obviously could be done (and is planned for a later version).

Baller. Nothing more needs to be said

I use the one that that's version 243 that says dedicated only server version only

https://7dtd.illy.bz/wiki/Server%20fixes

Is this the wrong one in that link?

Alloc · Jul 23, 2015

What Ynd21 said ... it's not about the mod, it's about the game build. Read the link he posted

xercesblue · Jul 23, 2015

What Ynd21 said ... it's not about the mod, it's about the game build. Read the link he posted

So I'm using the wrong GAME build. Ok I'll have to figure out where to run the correct one. Will I have to start new world? Tools - Library - Dedicated, as in from the Steam program itself? I'm sorry if I sound stupid I run lots of server but always done it from SteamCMD and batch files.

EDIT: I think I found it. Spoke too soon. Didn't realize I had to hover OVER Library lol. I feel so stupid. Never even seen that part of Steam.

Posting logs just in case.View attachment 10032

Alloc · Jul 23, 2015

It is the same as with other games. If they provide a dedicated server as separate build (and a lot do it that way) it's a different appid (which is given in the link) which can either be installed through Steam -> Tools or through SteamCMD with that ID

World etc should be fine.

CyrusBlaze · Jul 23, 2015

As long as you set up the serverconfig file to match the world name of your current world the Dedicated server will pick it up and run it without a problem.

I often switch between having my server run it (hosted using dedicated client on my PC) and client run depending on what I am doing / who is online.

You can also use SteamCMD to install the dedicated server. You just need the right AppID, which should be 294420 for the dedicated server.

Edit: Keep in mind you still need your account credentials since you can't get the dedicated server with the anonymous account.

xercesblue · Jul 23, 2015

Thanks all for your help I will try and get everything back up and running tonight when I get home.

xercesblue · Jul 24, 2015

Got it working last night, yay /home!

Thanks a ton guys! I run Rust, Terraria, Ark and 7 Days servers from the same machine, but up until recently 7 Days was running from Bluefangsolutions so everything was modded by them.

I just messed with the XML's but with them just unpacking the Alloc's fixes worked, didn't see what kind of server they were running (client versus dedicated). All this is exciting to figure out. Next step is getting the map working.

Also you're the best Alloc!

Kittamaru · Jul 24, 2015

Alloc - do/have you worked with the FrontRunnerTek server manager? I'm not really sure if I have things working quite right with it... it shows a green light by the fixes... but when I hit Verify Fixes, nothing seems to happen?
