need help making a sever

[fiery flume]

If you yourself can't join it that means you just don't have a server

"all the YouTube vidoes" I dunno king

There is one by Nelson that 100% works

[fast barn]

Ok? Then how do I get a server😭I’ve went to the dedicated server thing ect

[fiery flume]

Other than that personally not a fan of video tutorials so I would recommend a written one

[fast barn]

Nelson?

[fiery flume]

Bruh

[fast barn]

May you link me to it?

[fiery flume]

I may not, since I would have to look it up

[fast barn]

No I’m he’s the owner of this ect

[fiery flume]

(Same as you, which means you should go do it yourself)

[fiery flume]

Wat

[fast barn]

Yeah but I don’t know his YouTube 💀I type in Nelson unturned and nothing comes up

[fiery flume]

I would still recommend the writeup

[fast barn]

How do I get to the write up? I have no idea where to find that.. maybe you could tell me that would help

[fast barn]

Thank you

[fiery flume]

"How to make untunred server" in your search engine of choice would get you there

Kinda curious which one of the outdated or just badly made tutorials you followed now tbh

[fast barn]

https://youtu.be/PjWL5cxLraA

https://youtu.be/-fS3c7P2PfM

I watched around 5 videos and they all said the exact same thing so idk

[fiery flume]

The easy part kills me

But yeah, you get the dedi, make a shortcut (or a batch) and just launch that

Not hard

[fast barn]

The whole point I watched it🤗

[fiery flume]

(He lied)

It won't be easy, not in your frame of reference anyway

[fast barn]

Do I have to pay for a server I mean idc I will but

[fiery flume]

No, thats pretty much the netire point of this exercise

Why would you watch 5 YouTube videos explaining how to do what you want to do, none of them mentioning payment and go "hmm maybe I need to pay"

[fast barn]

Well I’ve seen other threads talking about payment hosts..

I don’t understand why the passive aggression?

[fiery flume]

Its just baffeling to me

Yes, you can absolutely pay someone to host a server for you

But I don't think you'd jump through all these hoops if that was your preferred option, right?

[fast barn]

Okay, we’ll the whole point I asked for help is because I don’t know where to start and you’re basically degrading me and speaking to me like I’m a lower life form because I don’t understand something?

[fiery flume]

I am not degrading you, sorry if you got that impression

[fast barn]

Am I wrong?

[fiery flume]

I am just genuinely baffled by your train of thought

[fiery flume]

Aye

[fast barn]

My train of thought is to try it first then come and ask for help by people who know what there doing

[fiery flume]

Fair enough

What exactly have you tried up until now?

I am not going to watch both of those videos in full but I assume they basically told you the same thing, download the dedi and run that

[fast barn]

Going to YouTube google, once that failed and the troubleshooting for around 3 hours I came to here looked at everything found Nelson tried to look him up could find anything about him other then interviews then I finally came here once I gave up on trying to do it myself

[fiery flume]

As in what you did in terms of hosting, not as in teel me how you looked it up

Have you downloaded the dedicated server?

Tried running it?

Made a shortcut or batch file?

[fast barn]

Yea I’ve done that

[fiery flume]

The list goes on but you get the idea

[fast barn]

Not that because the videos didn’t tell me to do that

[fiery flume]

Be as specific as you can be please

[fast barn]

All the videos said was to download hamachi get my comp IP run the server put in configs for cheats make me admin and add mods

Then to join it

[fiery flume]

Okay, interesting. What exactly ddi the video tell you to do?

There is nothing to join since you did not make a server

We can worry about networking, mods and the like later

[fast barn]

I realize that and figured that

[fiery flume]

First order of business would be to get a server up

[fast barn]

Okay so just follow that link you said to?

I’ll do that one moment please

[fiery flume]

Sure thing

[fast barn]

ok im all done with that stuff, should i make the server an internet server obv right>?

[fiery flume]

Worry about that when you know the server is actually up and running

[fast barn]

alright give me one more moment please

[fiery flume]

I am in no hurry

[fast barn]

alright i did everything it said for me to do i watched the video he listed and when i goto LAN in server steam it does not pop up.

[fiery flume]

Are you sure the server is running?

[fast barn]

uhh dont get mad but i dont know? how to tell if it is...

[fiery flume]

So the answer is no

How do you start the server?

[fast barn]

am i supposed to just open that "my server" and leave it open

[fast barn]

open the server file?

;-;

[fiery flume]

Yes, that window needs to stay open

[fast barn]

ok one sec

[fiery flume]

No actually

[fast barn]

?

ok lol it wokred my server is there

[fiery flume]

Aight

[fast barn]

so is there a way to put a modded map in?

[fiery flume]

Yes, there is

https://github.com/SmartlyDressedGames/U3-Docs/blob/master/ServerHosting.md#How-to-Configure-Server

[quick tundra]

I was just about to link that again

[fast barn]

LMAO thanks my bad T-T

OK How to Host Curated Maps

do i put the name Arid in the cofig and the numbers in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json

or just the numbers in WorkshopDownloadConfig.json

[fiery flume]

Both

Arid might autosub, but put it in there for good measure

[fast barn]

okay thank you

[quick tundra]

you put the name of the map in the commands.dat

and the ID in the workshopdownloadconfig.json

[quick tundra]

yeah no such thing in this game

[fiery flume]

Curated objects my guy

[quick tundra]

honestly would make for a pretty good feature to have curated maps autodownload if set in the commands.dat

[fast barn]

ok my last question how do i use like commands to spawn stuff in ect?

and by that i mean like the modded stuff how do i find the ids for the,

them*

[fiery flume]

On the mods page or via the wiki

[fast barn]

alright thank you for ur help sorry we had a bad start ur amazing <3

i did enable cheats but when i put it in the chat nothing happens

i enable cheats in the commands folder right?

[fiery flume]

What exactly did you put un the chat?

[fiery flume]

No, a file called commands.dat

[fast barn]

map Arid
port 27015
perspective both
Cheats Enabled

thats everything

[fiery flume]

Chat, not the contents of that file

Also iirc it’s just cheats

[fast barn]

i put them in that

[fiery flume]

Yes, I know

[quick tundra]

eh, should work either way

[fiery flume]

Don’t need to specify the default port range

[fiery flume]

I wish it would, but that doesn’t sound like something Nelson would do

[fast barn]

/vehicle 12310

i put that in the chat'

[fiery flume]

And what happend?

[fast barn]

nothing

lol

[fiery flume]

Not even some red text?

[fast barn]

nah just nothing

[fiery flume]

Are you admin?

[quick tundra]

just checked and yeah, the required bit is cheats

[fast barn]

i put my steam numbers in admin list so yes,

[quick tundra]

as long as there's a space after it doesn't actually care what you put in there though

[fast barn]

when i do /vehicle 12310 it just goes into chat as if it was a normal chat

[quick tundra]

technically could be used for making comments in the file

[fiery flume]

Not how that works

[quick tundra]

yeah you definitely aren't an admin then

[fast barn]

LMAO what am i supposed to put in it

[fiery flume]

Yeah that should get ignored but hey, might as well

[quick tundra]

just use the admin command through console

[fiery flume]

You don’t touch that file

[fast barn]

ok? so how am i supposed to make myself admin lmao

[fiery flume]

Karma just told you

[fiery flume]

Now that’s just lazy on Nelsons part, damm

[fast barn]

dude XD where do i put that at

[quick tundra]

honestly not sure what you'd do with comments in the commands.dat file and I don't think this is the only way to make them buut

[fiery flume]

In the console

[quick tundra]

eh, I think since it's just looking for a line with "cheats" I don't think ignoring the rest of the line is a bad thing

[fast barn]

like when the server opens>

?

[quick tundra]

if anything since there aren't variables not ignoring it would be the worse option as you'd potentially get the occasional problem from that

[fiery flume]

Bad, no. Lazy, yes.

[hardy sand]

in the server console to /admin yourname

[fiery flume]

Yes, the funny black window with white text

Yknow, the console

[quick tundra]

(and in terms of laziness I guess it depends on how it was implemented, it very well could just be laziness but I could see it being done this way on purpose as well)

[fast barn]

ok T-T chil chillll

[hardy sand]

looks like this

[fast barn]

my bad pimp

do i have to close it and re open it or just leave as is and re open the game/server

[quick tundra]

I wonder if // or something could also work for comments in the commands.dat file

actually why not, I can test that in a few seconds

[fast barn]

i type "enable cheats" and it says not a valid line 💀

[quick tundra]

yeah, // gives an error

[fiery flume]

Changes in the commands.dat apply on restart

[fast barn]

Failed to enable cheats while running.

is what it said

[quick tundra]

same with starting the line with "COMMENT"

wonder if there's a proper way to add comments

[fiery flume]

You don’t do that in the console

You do that in the commands.dat

[quick tundra]

I mean I can see reasons for wanting to include comments in the file so...

[fast barn]

the note pad?! i did that you said not to..'

[quick tundra]

if nothing else time for the least useless U3 suggestion

No?

[fiery flume]

I said not to touch the admin list

[fast barn]

i didnt!!

[quick tundra]

You said you did?

[fiery flume]

Kinda have to use commands.dat

[fast barn]

this??

[quick tundra]

...

[fiery flume]

One of your previous statements has to be a lie

[fast barn]

dude im so confused now..

[quick tundra]

Yes, you just put the line "cheats" in there

then restart the server

then you'll be able to use commands

[fiery flume]

Yes, that’s still the commands.sat, where you’d enable cheats

[fast barn]

i did already , i had it in there before and still couldnt

[quick tundra]

*through the console, unless you're admin you won't be able to use them in-game without making yourself an admin first

[quick tundra]

did you restart the server after doing that

[fiery flume]

That also helps, yes

[fast barn]

i did that was like that before still cant use cheats

[fiery flume]

Fucks sake I am loosing braincells in here

[quick tundra]

did you or did you not make yourself an admin through the console

[fast barn]

i did not.. i dont know how yall aint tell me

[hardy sand]

WE DID

[quick tundra]

This is server hosting support, I'm surprised you had any in the first place

[hardy sand]

WE ALL DID

[fiery flume]

I guarantee that of you are admin and have toggled cheats it works

[quick tundra]

must have been a rocket scientist before getting around here

[fast barn]

WHERE?

[hardy sand]

BRO

[fast barn]

i didnt see that sorry..

[fiery flume]

Good luck, I am stepping out

[fast barn]

yall aint gotta be mean like my bad

[hardy sand]

dw lol xd

[fast barn]

yall each telling me to do something different like

[fast barn]

do i just put my steam name, or my steam numbers?

[quick tundra]

if you're on the server at the time either would work

if not you'd use your Steam64

[hardy sand]

either

[fast barn]

okay, now i put that in my console? the thing i use to ACTIVE the server

[hardy sand]

Send ss of the steps u do btw so noone gets confused

[fast barn]

like that?

Unable to match "/admin 295196272" with any built-in commands"

[quick tundra]

you don't use slashes with console commands

[fast barn]

right thank you. i was just doing what he told me to my bad

[quick tundra]

also, that's not a Steam64...

[fast barn]

well it worked so

Successfully admined 295196272!
[World] cletus-purestinkyclam7 [purestinkyclam]: "/vehicle 12310"

but nothing in game spawned

its telling me im using commands but nothing happens

[hardy sand]

Odd thats weird

[fast barn]

its going into the chat like a normal chat but nothing happening

[fast barn]

nvm it worked thank you for being nice and helping me sorry i didn't understand thank you

[hardy sand]

Dw lol

[fast barn]

how do i fix this>

?*

[quick tundra]

... you make and add a GSLT token

[fast barn]

... thanks LMAO

is there a way to turn off out of bounds when builidng

[quick tundra]

well, if you learn mapmaking then kind of yes

but no way to do that that's related in any way to servers

[fast barn]

alright thank you i was just wondering

[quick tundra]

you'd need to make a map that doesn't have the playerclip volumes

[fast barn]

makes sense ty what about placeing stuff on vehicles?

[quick tundra]

same thing

that's something that the map's config disables which overrides the server config

[fast barn]

ohh okay i get it thank you

[trim hamlet]

How did we get to this point.

[fast barn]

i didnt understand and then two ppl came in to talk about stuff to eachother

[trim hamlet]

Ah.

[fast barn]

yeah.. lmao

im sorry

[hardy sand]

I mean I asked a question once and the actual discussion was like 10messages, the other 40 was like karma talking about how my host uses an outdated windows 10 version

For like

2hrs lol

[fast barn]

yeah idk im sorry.

[hardy sand]

Not your fault lol
