Improvements for the dedicated server

Hey Alloc! I finally got a chance to add the server fixes update to my server. Awesome work putting my request for the server time on the map! Hi5! I understand that it's a work in progress, but that green shroud has got to go. :becky: Is it a simple color change in the index file I could do myself?

Also, we noticed that the grouped bubbles are not working correctly. When two or more players are in the same area, they are grouped with the green dot with a number. When one of those players leaves the area, they are still grouped together even though the player is 5 biomes away.

Still patently waiting for spawn entity @ x, y, z. :eyebrows:

 
New version of the mod released.

Alloc, my static friend. Where is "serveradmin.xml" located?

Last time I checked there only exists a dynamic value for the configuration property of "AdminFileName".

The permission feature would probably also be more approachable if there was a defined list of named modules: web.map, webapi.getstats, etc.

CSS, yep.

Will have a look.

I'm quite certain that you should look up the definition of "patiently" ;)

Saves-folder, whatever that is for your setup.

"webpermission list"

Contains all of them.

 
"webpermission list" and you'll see what's there. Also note that while 2000 means visible to anyone (even without logging in) 1000 means only those that logged in as described on the wiki page ;)

Straight answer.....

Here's what I get from my console.

>webpermission list

Defined web function permissions:

Level: Web function

2000: web.map

0: webapi.getlandclaims

0: webapi.getplayersonline

0: webapi.getplayerslocation

0: webapi.getplayersinventory

1000: webapi.getstats

Alloc, the wiki page could really use a lot more detail.

 
Hey Alloc,

I finally got around to redoing my map and getting the time added. I really wanted to yet again say thanks for providing that js file so I could get it knocked out! Can't wait to see what else you end up adding to this amazing map.

In case you're wondering, or if someone else wants the map edits, they look like this (I like transparent stuff, onno I'm weird?)

Sorry, just trying to keep your documentation a continous trail. We're not having these discussions for each other but the community (also outside the random finding in this most unorganized forum) with a varying level of experience. The "serveradmin.xml" is just something you have decided to call your filename for the config.xml files property value of "AdminFileName" and as such you can't refer to it by a static filename in documentation, as it is non-searchable. As a practise try to refer the to a documentation which defines the "Saves-folder". (Which I only happen to know by experience to be located where the config.xml resides which appears to be specified as a command line parameter of -configfile for the executable /home/sdtd/engine/7DaysToDieServer.x86 )

I won't put a list of something that's better fetched from the game as it's going to change anyway. The game always has the correct up-to-date list of things, a documentation is easy to go out of sync.

If you were talking about other things than this list feel free to suggest changes, I try to get things as clear as possible but obviously that's different from my point of view then for others ;)

As I said above, that doesn't make any sense.

The "serveradmin.xml" is just something you have decided to call your filename for the config.xml files property value of "AdminFileName" ...

Actually it's the other way round: serveradmin.xml is the name that the game has set for this file. Everything else is customized but this name is what people around the forum know if they know anything at all about the files ;)

As a practise try to refer the to a documentation which defines the "Saves-folder". (Which I only happen to know by experience to be located where the config.xml resides which appears to be specified as a command line parameter of -configfile for the executable /home/sdtd/engine/7DaysToDieServer.x86 ).

Saves-folder is defined by a param in the config (SaveGamePath) or, if not given, has a default path that has been documented at least in the release notes for A12 for those who read them. I agree that a lot stuff of the game needs more documentation but I'm not documenting the game itself on my mod page. That's what the official wiki would be for. So in my mod documentation I *try* to refer to game things as good as possible at the moment but as I said above I'm basically open for suggestions (as long as they don't include "document the whole game" as this is simply not the scope of my mod documentation ;) ).

For now my only change (in a few) will be to add a hint to "webpermission list" as that could be missed but I don't see what elsecould be improved or more exactly *how* it could be.

This map looks really nice! I would like to have this edits for my map too :)

 
Yeah, but what is getplayersonlineinventory? Inventory of all online players at once? Wonder what the use would be :)
Click to expand...
Well, yes... my server manager monitors all players currently online in the server for restricted items and suspicious activity, and automatically takes necessary actions. Also we store everything in a database for auditing/tracking and forensic investigations. We use it to find out who placed what item/block and when, or who was in a certain area and had X item in inventory.

Currently we have to spam si in telnet every minute. Your api would make this so much cleaner and faster

 
CSS, yep.

I figured as much. Got it changed back to the original dark red shroud with white text for the gamestats and login info.

I'm quite certain that you should look up the definition of "patiently" ;)

LOL!!! Squeaky wheel gets the grease though, right. :playful:

Again, thanks for all of this!

 
Im confused, do players have to log in to see the map? some players may not want to use their steam creditials on a website that is not steam related. How can I get then to view the map with this version without logging into steam.

 
They don't login with their credentials on your server, they log in on Steam itself and Steam merely tells your server that their log in is valid. It does not even get the username, so it has less information than you get when they join your game.

Regarding your question: Exactly that scenario (map without log in) has been talked about at least two times in here and it's the basic example given on the documentation.

Sorry for the late response (was totally working), here's the webserver files. Just drag and drop / overwrite what you currently have and you should be set but make sure you keep a backup. Only thing I'd recommend is changing the body background as it points to my site and I'm super lazy atm
