Hello! Did you have access to the build to create this documentation?
I see there's no mention of steamcmd but you're suggesting to do the installation of the dedicated server via Steam itself - is it because you know steamcmd isn't going to be available at launch, or it's an assumption for now?

[meager basin]

It's for the official release.

[drowsy orchid]

ok appid for the dedicated server is 4129620 in case it's useful for steamcmd users

[warm gale]

Usually dedicated server hosting is done through steamcmd

[keen raft]

would be nice if someone could share pterodactyl egg for this

[delicate jolt]

small feedback on this:
it nice to file the app_id of steamDB with is: 4129620
and the location of the the JSON files: {installation_location}\R5\ServerDescriotion.json
and {installation_location}\R5\SaveProfile\Default\RocksDB{version_id}\Worlds{id}\WorldDescrtipion.json

[drowsy orchid]

I'm sure claude / chatgpt can build a good ptero egg for it with the appid and json files that @delicate jolt added 😄
Might be missing some configurations element, but i'm not sure of the server config - there's some wiki that might be helpful https://www.survivalservers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Windrose_Server_Configuration_Guide

Actually i'm not sure if the binaries are linux compliant so ptero might require using wine which complicates a bit the setup

[keen raft]

ah using AI to make an egg...

[delicate tiger]

Sure that will not have any issues

[drowsy orchid]

well i think it's a great way to deal with the boilerplate indeed but i'd expect to be able to understand how an egg is defined to correct the hallucinations indeed 🙂

[restive plaza]

@here even though I selected "Tools" I don't see the Windrose Dedicated Server in the list, I was following the guide, what did I miss?

[keen raft]

AI is not the answer here

[keen raft]

try restarting steam, it showed up for me after doing that

[drowsy orchid]

never said it was an answer to any problem but it's a tool that can be rightly used 🙂

fyi official guide - i'm sure you saw in the #│game-updates https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/#wsg-setup

[keen raft]

wrong place to talk about clankers.

[keen raft]

yes I did... you are not being helpful, just saying 😄

[drowsy orchid]

sorry for trying to help not sure what beef you have with AI matey 🤷

[keen raft]

If a clanker was the answer then there would be no question of if anyone has made an egg for dedi server.

[meager basin]

The guide on Steam needs to be updated but most of it counts. Will update the guide in a few minutes.
Currently https://playwindrose.com/dedicated-server-guide/ is the best for the moment.

[ancient ether]

Sorry I'm a bit new to the whole "create the initial image for selfhosted dedicated servers" but am I correct in assuming that the PR for game-egg https://github.com/pterodactyl/game-eggs/pull/515 is the first step in the work for creating a docker image that can then be easily deployed by everyone or is this game-egg PR for use when hosting on a windows machine?

I have fairly good knowledge about docker but what is the best way to contribute in creating an image for dedicated servers?

[dusk orbit]

@ancient ether That's for Petrodactyl panel you want #1493527844318347294 message for Docker

[lapis bough]

been trying to run this egg, but not having much luck. pretty sure its due to how pterodactyl requires binding to specific ports, however this uses upnp. not sure if anyone else has been successful?

[latent terrace]

I create one myself very similar to this one before the PR existed and its was working, but then tested this PR (was more friendly) and seems to work perfectly(currently running server since yesterday), if you need some help let me know.

[lapis bough]

yea would like some help, thank you

[lapis bough]

When i create the server it seems to be running but connecting just times out. locally and externally. i do have the server bound to port 7777 in pterodactyl as it forces you to use a port and tha tis the first allocation i had free. upnp is set up on my router, tried disabling ufw on the server. not sure what else to try?

[dusk orbit]

@lapis bough have you tried the steps in FAQ? https://playwindrose.com/faq/ possible your ISP is blocking you. Essentially you can forget about the port Ptero assigns, the game will do it's own thing.

I already run Satisfactory on 7777 and Windrose is a random port, still works fine.

Above isn't right, Windrose is on 7777, Satisfactory I've had to move ports.

[lapis bough]

I have tried everything there, I do fail the block P2P or TURN/STUN traffic check. i contacted my isp and they claim they do not block it. Not sure what to do next

[lapis bough]

Don't think it's isp. The initial connection gets made, but then the Check consent fails... Reach timeout 10000 ms. Played a bunch with the router but still can't connect

[dusk orbit]

Looks like they got a fix in hotfix tomorrow and more coming, hopefully they'll sort it.
