Windrose Plus Mod on Gportal

[lost rampart]

I am having a issue with the new thing added to Windrose called Windrose Plus I Enable UE4SS and Enabled Windrose Plus changed some setting on server like "Harvest Multiplier" saved and started server it times out but turns server on but none of the Windrose plus mod are activated.

When starting server after doing above it gives error "timeout exceeded" but server starts but none of the mods are working in game.

Trying again and stuck on starting

[blazing crescent]

Hey hey, this looks for me like a tech side issue with the server itself. Can you pls write a ticket to the support directly? 🙂
We here, cant look into the server, so I dont think we can solve it.

I got the same Prob

[atomic parrot]

Same problem here as well, I was about to create a post

[lament ore]

No offense, but did you do this while the server was offline? Otherwise, it always saves the default settings.

[atomic parrot]

Nope, it was actually online!

[karmic spire]

not working for me either i put a ticket in to see if they can fix the issue

[earnest galleon]

Did you stop the server first?

[karmic spire]

Yup, item stack size and inventory size does not work but looks like the rest works

[atomic parrot]

the rest?

[still dagger]

Im having this issue as well anyone find a fix for this. Thank you

[clear trail]

oh god. I was just turning the mod on, on our server and wanted to change stack size and inventory size

[karmic spire]

same and some stats and the server just lost alot of performace, also got alot of rubber banding on the oceon

[clear trail]

everytime I try and check a setting I get

[dim crane]

i have the Same Issue

[clear trail]

I just wanted to make stack sizes bigger and quicker respawn on mines

so do we know if there is a windrose plus discord? Maybe we we need to ask there?

honestly I have YET to see any help from gportal on discord

[dim crane]

I don't know either; right now, it looks more and more like the community will have to help itself

[clear trail]

so my server is up and runnning with no windroseplus error and I have stacksize set to 3 but its doing nothing

no changes in game

[karmic spire]

for the mod, this is the response i got from gportal

[clear trail]

yeah we are screwed

[karmic spire]

what i managed to do is increase drop stats and stuff so double drops and certain things what works, then restarted the server then turned off the server, disabled the mod and restarted the server and still x2 drops and stuff

[clear trail]

so you got some stuff to work?

[karmic spire]

yes just not the inventory increase and stack size what i carnt get to work

[clear trail]

ok so which ones did you get to work and what values? I will change mine to match and see if we can get that to work for now

[karmic spire]

i just changed everything to 2 for now

except craft cost and weight i left them alone

[karmic spire]

yeh change everything to 2 except crafting cost, inventory size, weight, stack size

dont put stuff to high, if you do you will cut a tree down and it will rain logs for a few minutes and crash lol

[clear trail]

yeah I changed mine to what you said and the server wont even come up

[karmic spire]

ignore that red wait a minute

thats just a desync towards the server it will resync

[clear trail]

ok went away but I see this

v

there was a release 1 hour ago.. Wonder if we have the latest?

[karmic spire]

did you turn the server off

[karmic spire]

maybe gportal aint added the fix

[lost rampart]

It’s messed up they don’t know what’s wrong. Told me to go download nexus mods lol

They just adding things without even seeing if they work.

They kept saying Windrose plus dashboard says it working like that’s a web page not even in game lol it was funny

Issue is simple but they need to fix it on there end through portal or it won’t work need to have a ~mod file in Pak folder and have json with mods into it but doesn’t work right now

[karmic spire]

i just disabled it until they fix it

[lost rampart]

Yeah it all jacked up in the end if you keep messing with it has a chance to screw up your server. Messed mine up for awhile it has every plant on the map like quadruple so like chilis on the map instead of 5 it was like 40 of them lmao lag was baddd

[clear trail]

well can we add stack size increase from nexus mod and just skip windrose plus?

[earnest galleon]

I havent used windrose+ yet, nor am i really looking to do it atm.

But i think G-Portal have 2 options atm:

1. If it works fine for them, then they need to have a good guide on how to make it work like it does for them and have links to zxy mod they are "offering" to install.
2. Remove the modding part as its only causing frustation for server owners atm. Again, if a detailed guide on how to make it work is made, then add it back again.

But its like one of their wiki pages about the weather in windrose, its stating that we can get in the crowsnest and alert other players about incoming storms via the ingame voice and/or text chat.
Wtf?!

But if im gonna use mods on my server, i think im gonna do it myself and not via "their system". At least that way i know more of what ive added, changed and gives me a better chance for fixing it.

[clear trail]

anyone get any kind of response on getting it work or updated?

[atomic parrot]

I wonder the same thing.
I'll start creating mods by myself if not 😄

[blazing crescent]

helllooo, as far as i notice there was a fix today for plus, maybe you can check if it works now? 🙂

[clear trail]

Awesome thanks for responding Sue, I will check as soon as I get home today

[blazing crescent]

thanks 🙂 pls let me know if still something not working 🙂

[grim heron]

it was never fixed still times out, i made only 1 adjustment.

so it seems some settings work and some don't. you have to easter egg troubleshoot to find the ones that work. i know Loot increase is broken, and defence power is broken. but base armor DOES work.

i guess a list of working features needs to be created.

[clear trail]

Still erroring out

[earnest galleon]

Do you get the error when you start the server?
Or just as soon as youve have done the edit?

[clear trail]

Yes

[earnest galleon]

yes what lol?

[clear trail]

When I do the edit and click save

It gives that error and server didn’t come back up

[earnest galleon]

And the server is stopped when you do the edits?

[clear trail]

Good point I do not believe so. I will try that first when I get home. I know it was the other day when I tried

But don’t think so today

Have you gotten it work?

[atomic parrot]

Oh, good, I was about to do the same

[earnest galleon]

Just remember to stop the server when you do any edits 🙂

If all edits work or not after their "fix" earlier today, idk.

No, but i dont use mods on my server.
Im gonna wait a little before adding anything as i wanna complete the game unmodded first.

[atomic parrot]

I am doing it now

can I enable them one by one or both at once?

[earnest galleon]

Did you read what the info about each of them says?

[atomic parrot]

Ok, no errors from the mods anymore! But they have no effect! I have added Stack Size x5, it is the same

x1

no effect here either

oh, no worries, I have restarted the server and this happens again

[clear trail]

So still not working?

[atomic parrot]

no, they do not

I have installed them, restarted server twice, mods do not apply and I have that error again

[clear trail]

Dang it. I was REALLY hoping it was working after @blazing crescent said they should be working now

[atomic parrot]

they should test the mods by themselves before adding them

[atomic parrot]

I had a ticket with Gportal about something and I have asked about this as well, they have said it should work!
Not a big deal though

[clear trail]

ok turned server off. Enabled mod. Changed settings and turned server back on. No errors but nothing changed in game

I bumped up settigns again.. No errors but no changes

[earnest galleon]

Have you tried doing it with a new save?

[clear trail]

no

I just got rid of it and installed each mod needed from nexus mods and it works great

so I wont be using Windroseplus

[earnest galleon]

As ive said before, imo they should remove it until they KNOW its "fixed" and working as it should, no matter what settings you wanna do in it.

But lets see what happens.

But glad you got it working in the end with other mods.

[clear trail]

right

[atomic parrot]

Nexus provides any admin? I would need that too

[clear trail]

well I didnt need it to install

[atomic parrot]

what did you do?

[clear trail]

just ftp to the gportal server and drag and drop the files

started back up server and it was done

[atomic parrot]

I am guessing i have to add a mods folder in R5?

[clear trail]

it says it under the mod

[atomic parrot]

Thank you, I appreciate it mate

[clear trail]

Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Content\Paks~mods

create the ~mods folder

and drop them there

[atomic parrot]

Do i need to restart server?

[clear trail]

I installed stack, more resource, more bells and larger fire

all work great. Yeah stop server. Drop those files in folder. Start server back up

[atomic parrot]

https://www.nexusmods.com/windrose/mods/148

look

[clear trail]

yeah but we already have mod manager on the server

@atomic parrot

as long as you have UE4SS on, you are good

[atomic parrot]

I have enabled that, I will add some mods tomorrow

Another cool mod is the in game chat

[clear trail]

oh cool!

[atomic parrot]

We need it

Also, we need proximity voice

[lost rampart]

@clear trail Where exactly did you drop file? little rundown for me? I tried doing some stuff myself through nexus and nothing idk if I was doing it right? would love a step by step if you have time lol

[clear trail]

let me open folder and show yu

[clear trail]

Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Content\Paks~mods'

on the server.. You will have to create a new folder inside the Paks folder called ~mods

then unzip and drop the nexus mods you download there

[lost rampart]

can you screen shot the mods folder on what it looks like?

[clear trail]

make sure you check UE4SS or whatever on the server BUT not windroseplus

[lost rampart]

idk i swore i had it right but just wouldnt work

ahh that could have been it

[lost rampart]

and all work that you put in?

[clear trail]

every single one.. BUT extended bonefire you have to have on YOUR PC as well

same with Morefasttravel

but the others just put them on the server and everyone benefits

[lost rampart]

and your just doing this from your file explorer? and nothing else?

[clear trail]

I am using filezilla but the first one I did from the gportal website

on the left Fire Manager

you can just click upload there

[lost rampart]

gotcha so doing it through gportal works for everybody but i need to do in files explorer as well?

[clear trail]

no no no..

[lost rampart]

sorry so many questions just when i do it i want it to be done lol we just wanna build we already capped level

[clear trail]

there are 2 mods that players have to locally AND server

Installation Guide
Install it in the following location based on your situation (if there's no ~mods folder, just create one):
For single-player games:
Windrose\R5\Content\Paks~mods
For multiplayer games:
Windrose\R5\Content\Paks~mods
and
Windrose\R5\Builds\WindowsServer\R5\Content\Paks~mods
For dedicated servers:
Server-side:
Windrose Dedicated Server\R5\Content\Paks~mods
Client-side: Every client needs to install this mod. Refer to the single-player installation location.

see so like that one says Client-side: every client needs to install this mod

[lost rampart]

client meaning every person? sorry new to this

[clear trail]

yes

ONLY if they want the extended bonefire

NOT for like most the other ones

[lost rampart]

okay so for lets say more bells. I go to gportal make a mods folder in paks put what mods i want and should work? or do i need to do both gportal files manager and file explorer as well

[clear trail]

thats the same thing

read the mod to see if it needs to be client side AND server side

[lost rampart]

okay so just worry about gportal and then if we want bigger fire or more fast needs to be on single and multipler files along with anybody else on server

i think i got it now

[clear trail]

ok

[lost rampart]

thank you

[lost rampart]

still not working IDK about to give up

does the ~Mods folder go into paks or new directory?

[earnest galleon]

Have you tried with ~mods and not ~Mods?
Some games are case sensitive, so if its looking for m it wont find it because youve used M.

[lost rampart]

so i added a couple other mods and they work l just not stack size so its whatever just wanted the more resources and they are working just building stuff

[atomic parrot]

What is the chance to have a 16 slots server?

I am currently on 10

Or 20 slots

[earnest galleon]

If you pay for more slots, then im pretty sure the chance of your server slots going up is 100%.

But the game devs doesnt even recommend more than 8 players on the server at once, and G-Portal also reminds you of that on the server page:

[atomic parrot]

I already have 10 slots, it works fine, I want to increase the number for testing purposes

[earnest galleon]

Then pay for the extra amount of slots you want?!
