I created a fresh server for valheim, tested vanilla first everything worked no issues with connection, second test I made a singleplayer test world with my selection of mods from Thunderstore using ONLY mods tagged with "ashlands update". it ran perfectly fine, I then transferred the r2modman bepin plugin folder to the server and then launched it and nothing seemed to make me able to connect to it. I did set it to bepinEX on the mod seciton too. So I remade the server wholly and then before launching and restarting I removed all client side only mods still doesnt work. Im new to server owndership so im wondering what the heck do i do to fix this?

I'm not fully versed for the options in this game, but the word "plugin" caught my attention. Are these all mods or are there also plugins?

#

Plugins aren't able to be used for most games.

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:06 PM

#

BepinEx stores all mods in the plugins folder in the unique BepinEx folder which is the framework that runs mods on valheim

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:07 PM

#

Gotcha. Ok.

#

If after removing them all, you still can't get your server to work, you may need to contact GPortal support.

#

It does work without mods

#

ive already confirmed as much that its possible to play valheim ashlands without mods, but the server shouldnt have any issues running mods especially with my extremely light configuration of only QoL mods

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

Ah. Then definitely a conflict with a mod.

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:08 PM

#

but it works client side without a single error message

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:09 PM

#

Singleplayer is not the same thing. But, I would suggest adding the mods back on one at a time to see which is conflicting.

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:09 PM

#

suppose so

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

Another question real quick. The way in which you are adding mods, is this the suggested way by GPortal?

#

@sage river I see something. I guess there is a dropbox where you need to select BepinEx. Did you do this?

well It doesnt give any instrustions so I just added mods via filezilla FTP client to the bepinEx/Plugins/ folder

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

Did you select that option in the dropdown before adding the folder?

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

I am certain I did

#

I'll walk through the steps again

#

and report back

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:23 PM

#

#

This does confuse me.

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

yeah so see the structure locally is like this

#

this is my local folder on the client

#

example of plugin contents

#

So I assume it wants me to put these mods from this folder onto the server

#

because the server installs a plugin and core folder when selecting the bepinEx

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:49 PM

#

Ah ok.

#

I guess the server is having an issue with one or more of the mods. At least that is a strong possibility.

sage river May 15, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

yeah im just going to have to go one by one

fading flax May 15, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

Since it's working without mods, something is either not installing correctly or not compatible.

#

I'm curious. If you add just one and that works, at least you know it's not the process of installing them is not the issue.

#

I'll be afk for several hours, but please update me here and let me know how it goes.

#

what mods do you have installed?

sage river May 15, 2024, 10:06 PM

#

vivid bane what mods do you have installed?

#

its mostly QoL and a couple buildingpieces

#

all of these are markes as ashlands update except multiuserchest but that one works fine ona self hosted world

vivid bane May 15, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

are you getting any specific errors?

sage river May 15, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

well I wish I had it saved but I'm sure itll error again and Ill have ample time to debug

vivid bane May 15, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

do all of the mods work in sp?

sage river May 15, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

they do

vivid bane May 15, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

remove the mods using ftp, verify game files on the server make sure the server is turned off while removing files, load the server with just bepinex, make sure you can join it. if that works add 5 mods at a time until its stable. itll be alot of trail and error and having to turn the server on and off

sage river May 15, 2024, 11:18 PM

#

Okay so I am able to tell when it worked as itll say in the serverlog [Info : Unity Log] 05/16/2024 01:15:44: Game server connected

#

so if it says that it means everything is successful

#

everytime its been missing ive ended up not being able to connect as long as i see the log say connected i can join

#

Alright so the culprits of the crash are either of these 2

#

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/blacks7ar/CoreWoodPieces/

Thunderstore

CoreWoodPieces v1.1.8

Extends vanilla corewood pieces and adds 23 more pieces that you can build.

#

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/blacks7ar/FineWoodPieces/

Thunderstore

FineWoodPieces v1.5.4

Adds finewood variants of the wood build pieces, stone roof shingles, thatch walls, clay build pieces, 16 containers, 23 clutters and 58 new furnitures, 6 windows, 1 trapdoor, and 18 buildable plants to decorate your home.

#

i dont know which of the two but

#

sage river i dont know which of the two but

You could probably get a hold of the developer or their discord to see if there is something going on with them.

sage river Alright so the culprits of the crash are either of these 2
