[crystal dune]

Does anyone know how to find the IP of a person on Pingperfect? I've been having issues with a user on my server joining over and over despite me pressing the ban button. It'll momentarily kick them but they still rejoin? So I want to IP ban them at this point.

[merry urchin]

has someone a -usefull- evrima batch file where it automatically restarts after several hours? my server gets stuck -FREQUENTLY- and i am not a person who understands all those programming stuff so i never got to make a batch-file where it restarts the server like every 8 hours..
i read tutorials and someone in the internets had a batch file that was supposed to work but i couldnt get it to run x,x

NVM i fiddled long and made much trial and error with the help of google that i got somthing working for my machine.

[worldly sun]

can someone help me l was trying to host a dedicated server l was whatching a video when he opened the isle exe he got some .ini files but l just got one what l need to do also when l open the server l cant see my server

[untold trail]

Is it normal for a server to occasionally crash and show no response?

[crystal dune]

if running it through pingperfect, then yeah. It's something on their end. You just gotta put in a support ticket with them and they'll fix it.

[untold trail]

okay...thank you very much

[untold trail]

Oh, I have a solution

Start the server with a BAT file that can be restarted automatically if the server crashes

[merry urchin]

when you dont know how to do that, its impossible. plus, thats what i was talking about. but i already figured after an hour of trial and error and pestering google

[untold trail]

Then use the task scheduler to periodically run a bat that terminates the server process

[merry urchin]

yeah, thats like what i am doing, just with only 2 batch files do all of that.

im happy that i even got it to work, cause right now i dont even know what a task scheduler is so... id be even more lost 😄

[untold trail]

Hold on. I'll send you mine

[merry urchin]

but anyway, thanks for the reply! not many do want to help at all

[untold trail]

Change the port and server file address to yours, and it should work

[merry urchin]

ooohhhh. will try, naybe that works better than my temporary workarround

[untold trail]

Use this to run the stop bat file periodically

[merry urchin]

thanks, you really helped a lot. will try this out

[untold trail]

https://youtu.be/DVUlkU2AxgQ

It's my temporary solution, but it's not perfect too.
Crashes come in two forms, one that pops up an unresponsive window and the other that doesn't.
For the latter, this is a good solution, but for the former, if you don't do it manually, the server will only restart when it is timed to run Stop.bat

But at least it's better than nothing, haha

[vagrant heart]

Why did I ban the player without effect, and he can still access the server?

[subtle pebble]

#server-hosting message Might be a universal issue

[vagrant heart]

Can't ban players.

[vagrant heart]

I can't ban cheating players, ask for help.

[strange sorrel]

Quick question, so I am hosting a game server over nitrado, and I am trying to figure out how to change it from legacy to evrima but I can't figure it out, anyone that can help me?

[vagrant heart]

@untold trailIs this the file that makes the server restart automatically, and how to use it?

[abstract crane]

I’m having this exact same issue have you managed to resolve this?

[untold trail]

After modifying the configuration inside, use it to start the server

[faint laurel]

I've made and open sourced a python RCON client for The Isle Evrima.
You can view and download it here: https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools
For those who don't want to use code, I've also made a release exe you can download and just use.

At the time it supports 5 commands:
Save the Server
Make an Announcement
Ban a Player
Kick a Player
Display Player List

These were found in a document posted by @runic sierra above, although not sure what the source is.
@lethal notch

[runic sierra]

very nice man thanks!

One thing I have noted after utilizing the save functoon quite a few times on a loaded server with 100 players... it tends to crash the server...

[faint laurel]

I don't really have much of a server to work with. I just like to tinker.

[runic sierra]

nice

I have a node app with a similar RCON module now

It's hosted on heroku and takes care of my server announcements / saves before restarts but I removed it because it crashed the server too often and is able to reconnect when the server restarts

But it's just one small part of my app it does a lot of stuff with the server logs

If you like to tinker there's a lot of stuff you can do with an isle server logs

like this

[wise garnet]

Good work for putting together something comprehensive. Maybe add the QueuePort settings to your sample Game.ini too: #server-hosting message

I've also asked the question whether the QueryPort has been deprecated (the server doesn't seem to listen on it) and whether there is a command line param for the QueuePort, but I've got no response

[cursive gull]

that's cool, my antivirus yeets it when I try to run it though lol

[wise garnet]

QueryPort?

[sullen haven]

Any documentation of the isle api

Anybody know how i can get in game chat logs sent to a channel in discord

[cursive gull]

need to make a bot that greps the chat lines and posts them in discord

[sullen haven]

ok

will that be difficult

[runic sierra]

if you know regular expressions no

you can download and parse the server logs

[sullen haven]

Nope

im new to this

could you help me with it?

[runic sierra]

you can then achieve something like this

[runic sierra]

I'm not gonna teach you programming no sorry...

[sullen haven]

Ok

Yes like that

Exactly like that

[runic sierra]

Good place to start is tutorial in languages like Javascript (Node.js) or Python to build a small app that connects to your server

[sullen haven]

How long does it take to learn

[runic sierra]

Depends on how much effort you put in and how fast you learn...

[sullen haven]

Hours a day

[runic sierra]

This is like asking how long does it take to be a carpenter

[sullen haven]

Ight

i understand

One more thing

Or twi more

Do i need to learn linuz

Linux

For it

[runic sierra]

You can propably get something rudimentary working that would "do the job" with very basic knowledge within a week or 2. No idea

[sullen haven]

Ok

[runic sierra]

no...

[sullen haven]

its python?

your bot

?

[runic sierra]

I'm using javascript but since someone here published a Python library you can use this it would be faster I guess

good luck

[sullen haven]

Can u send py lobrary?

[runic sierra]

It's linked above

there's the source code

[sullen haven]

Where lol

iam stupid sorry

Nvm found it

Cheers

[faint laurel]

Never knew what the queue port does to be honest. What is it used for?

[wise garnet]

Implements the server queue for full servers. So players don't have to keep trying to connect, hoping for a spot to become available. Afaik

[faint laurel]

Oh nice. I havent observed that with the official servers.

[tardy temple]

How to I implement a discord link into my server?

[muted cairn]

In the Game.ini folder

[tardy temple]

What be the setting name in game.ini?

[muted cairn]

You have to read through this. There is an entry called discord or something (if I'm not mistaken) and you put your link in there.

[violet marsh]

For everyone asking, the Discord button in-game does work now in Evrima. The setting goes in your Game.ini file like so:

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]    <------ Under this header
Discord=discord.gg/xxxxxxxxxx      <------ Your discord link in place of the x's

@tardy temple @uneven tide @slate solar if you were still looking for the solution ^

[tardy temple]

Thank you!

[vagrant heart]

I found a cheating player in the game. I want to ban him in the game. After I ban him, he can still join the server. What is the reason? The ban doesn't work.

help

[merry urchin]

I have a problem, I created a server but I can not get on it because I have such an error

[vagrant heart]

No network

[merry urchin]

but I connected to the improved network thanks to the steam guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359

[subtle pebble]

did u follow the Server is up and people can join, but I can't? section?

[merry urchin]

I haven't checked yet, but I'll do it soon

other server is displayed but also cannot join

[subtle pebble]

nvm understood wrong the way you said it it's like you resolved it

[vagrant heart]

hello

I found a cheating player in the game. I want to ban him in the game. After I ban him, he can still join the server. What is the reason? The ban doesn't work.

What should I do? I can't ban cheating players.

[violet marsh]

Which version of the game, Legacy or Evrima?

[vagrant heart]

Evrima

@violet marsh Evrima

[violet marsh]

If you can, record how he's cheating as well as his SteamID and steam name and report it to Punch, you can DM him directly and ask about it.

How are you trying to ban him? The in-game ban menu or RCON?

[vagrant heart]

The ban doesn't work, it can only be kicked out.

I added a ban, but I can also join the server. My friend and I tested the results.

[violet marsh]

If you're an administrator I think that overrides the bans and allows you into the server regardless. I hadn't heard about bans being bugged entirely but they could be, I don't ever really ban people so I'm not sure if they work correctly or not

[vagrant heart]

I ADMIN

This option does not work.

[violet marsh]

If you're an admin, I don't think a ban will keep you out of the server. Is your friend that you tested with an admin as well?

[vagrant heart]

no

My friend is not an administrator.

[violet marsh]

Ok then it could just be bans entirely that are broken. You'll have to report it then with evidence if you have it.

[vagrant heart]

Who do I report to?

[violet marsh]

https://forms.gle/ufXDnxNfhRhZ7CCi8

[vagrant heart]

ok

sk

[faint laurel]

Are you putting the steam base 64 ID in or the playername to ban

[vagrant heart]

ban

@faint laurelsteamid

[faint laurel]

What is his steam ID?

[vagrant heart]

I tested with my friend.

[faint laurel]

Please, what is his steam id, last time I'm going to try to help. They are public information.

[vagrant heart]

Steam id can be copied, pasted and added in the game.

I know my friend's steam id. After adding the ban, he can still join the server.

[muted cairn]

https://wiki.mygameplatform.com:1010/index.php/Steam_ID

[vagrant heart]

I am the administrator, and I can see the steam id of cheating players. I just need to copy and paste it.

The game will display the player's steam id, which I can see, copy and paste,

This option does not work. you know

[muted cairn]

Do you host yourself or did you buy the server???

[vagrant heart]

@muted cairnI build it myself.

[muted cairn]

Ah ok

[vagrant heart]

yes

If the ban doesn't work, add id, or you can join the server@merry urchin

If you are an administrator, you can test, and you can't add bans to players.

[vagrant heart]

I've used it, and I don't have a job.

[cursive gull]

people can rejoin when banned sometimes, even when they are listed in the json, has happened a few times with people I have banned for hacking. Is a shame the logs don't show IP's anymore, so they can be blocked from the server totally

not sure why IP's was removed, whether is for privacy reason, or performance. You can see IP's of people connecting to your server (maybe not if is hosted like pinperfect) but spotting which is the hackers IP is very difficult, as they only on at busy times.

[vagrant heart]

@cursive gullYes, I saw the list of players banned by me and the banned time in the server log, but cheating players can still join, so it is forbidden to have no job.

[cursive gull]

Yeah if there listed in the json the ban worked.

Is either buggy, or they found a way around the ban

[vagrant heart]

@cursive gullNo, no, no. This is the test result of my friend and me. He's not an administrator and he doesn't use hacking techniques. I banned him. The server log has a ban time and a list, but he can still join.

[cursive gull]

then it's buggy

[vagrant heart]

yes

[cursive gull]

but they are technically banned, as they are in the ban json

just didn't work lol\

Been meaning to message Punch when he's on, not sure if he's still off sick or not

[vagrant heart]

@cursive gullBecause I don't speak English very well, please report this problem. Thank you.

[cursive gull]

I will

[vagrant heart]

I have tested it with my friends many times, including my administrator and other ordinary players, and the result is no work.

Thank you

[cursive gull]

Is your server on windows or linux?

[vagrant heart]

windows

[merry urchin]

can anyone help me

[tropic wasp]

The engine.ini is meant to be in /TheIsle/Saved/Config/WindowsServer, right? It's not there on my fresh install, so thought I'd better ask before I pull my hair out again...

[golden flare]

you may need to create it manually

[tropic wasp]

How the hell has this game got to the point where we have to be manually making ini files in the hope of us getting a server hosted that isn't official or hosted by officially preferred hosts? 😠

Would you mind please sending me a copy of your engine.ini contents, @golden flare ? Thanks

[golden flare]

This is mine, i run it on linux but fairly sure it's the same one

[tropic wasp]

Thanks mate. I will give that a go

[merry urchin]

@ionic badgei you help for me ?

i have a problem

[cursive gull]

yeah, ignore that mine says linuxserver

[cursive gull]

does the server run? errors are normal

Is that legacy?

[fierce stag]

I cant access the document on how to make an evrima server

[faint laurel]

"the document"?

There are several guides pinned.

[merry urchin]

no servers is Evrima

[cursive gull]

Yeah that's pretty fucked, I would yeet it and reinstall, save any configs you already setup.

Make sure you have right app id too

could be the issue, but error loading test level is weird is why I asked the version

Evrima uses 8-10GB ram at the moment for us, more than previoous builds

per server

[merry urchin]

I have an intel core processor and 5 10th generation and 16 Giga ram

[cursive gull]

if you aren't running other stuff, you should have no problem running the server

[merry urchin]

the server is loaded into the game on unofficial servers

but I can not get on the server because I have an error

[cursive gull]

yeah your server is really not happy

[faint laurel]

I get this when I have a bad game.ini / engine.ini

[cursive gull]

could run verify on it, not sure the command on windows

Can you post your game.ini and engine.ini ?

[faint laurel]

https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools

[merry urchin]

I have the same as with him

[cursive gull]

if that's proplem should be easy to spot

[faint laurel]

The config files posted there will work on either one

I had this before, config file was the problem

[merry urchin]

thx ❤️

[faint laurel]

Also maybe could be startup command, so try with those config files, and the starup command on the repository

Should fire right up

[merry scroll]

Please tell me how to correctly register the administrator in the Game.ini file

separated by commas or otherwise?

[cursive gull]

AdminsSteamIDs=76561198100955744

obviously not hat id

under [/Script/TheIsle.TIGameStateBase]

[merry scroll]

I understand this, I want to find out how I can add another administrator

[merry scroll]

do I need to add his id separated by commas?

[cursive gull]

no

just new line

AdminsSteamIDs=youradmin

AdminsSteamIDs=76561198031813142
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198065223336
AdminsSteamIDs=
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198309882927
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198100955744
AdminsSteamIDs=
AdminsSteamIDs=

AdminsSteamIDs=76561198901924844
AdminsSteamIDs=76561198213845769

like that

but your admin id's ofcourse

[merry scroll]

Thank you very much)

[merry urchin]

yall, help, where should I buy my server?

I mean, I don't want to be scammed so XD

[cursive gull]

Lots of places to buy a hosted server, if is possible host it yourself

[merry urchin]

can you help me verify this place?

https://serverranks.com/the-isle

the prices are- SUS

Too cheap to be true on my opinion but maybe it's secure lol

[cursive gull]

ehere you see prices on the ranking site?

[merry urchin]

oop wrong site

[cursive gull]

What you want to host? how many slots?

[merry urchin]

wait let me get the site I open

[merry urchin]

a server for evrima, 40 slots

[cursive gull]

And you don't have hardware to self host?

[merry urchin]

https://www.4netplayers.com/en/server-hosting/the-isle-server-rental/

this site

[merry urchin]

nop

[cursive gull]

per player hosts are kinda dumb

[merry urchin]

true

tho this site said 15.92 for 12 months and 40 slots

I dunno if I can trust

[cursive gull]

Pingperfect is good, but not cheap. If you can rent a server, or server space to host it on will be cheaper.

Linux build performs better and also no need to pay for windows licence

[merry urchin]

I already got a server there ( to buy) it's already set, almost the same price but with 20 slots and monthly

[cursive gull]

All hosted sites use windows build that I have seen

[merry urchin]

oh

[cursive gull]

Ideally you'd have your own server blade, but that's not economical for what you want. You might be able to get aserver space through AWS or other cloud servers. I know officials used to run on AWS not sure if they changed

[merry urchin]

oh

but when i bought the server from pingperfect what's the next step?

[cursive gull]

If you want easy go with pingperfect or someone who sets it all up for you

[cursive gull]

should be all set up for you by them

[merry urchin]

so I only join evrima and it should be on unofficial servers?

[cursive gull]

Yes

[merry urchin]

but how i put the admin/mod pass? I dunno the commands as well, I searched up but couldn't find much

[cursive gull]

They give access to game.ini you can add admins there

don't think you get access to engine.ini but I think they got it set up now

[merry urchin]

oh, but it won't let me put my steam id, so- i'm really confused rn

[cursive gull]

Show me your problem

[merry urchin]

like, I already set all up, but how will I make my self admin on the server?

if they don't know my username

[cursive gull]

in game.ini need to add admin steam id's

[merry urchin]

oh, so I only have to put the password on the chat and it should open?

[cursive gull]

<@&505047238674874368> can I send pingperfect discord link in this channel? For troubleshooting

[cursive gull]

when you log in to server you should have options to see files, or maybe setup. You need to add admins in the game.ini file

[merry urchin]

k, but like, how will they know it's me who joined?

[cursive gull]

I don't know how the game is coded, it may check people logging in against steam id's in the game.ini file

[merry urchin]

oh, so it will open on the own pingperfect site when I buy and it will let me add my self as a admin?

[cursive gull]

you'll get access to some kind of control panel where you can set stuff up

[merry urchin]

oh, on chrome?

[cursive gull]

it's aimed at begginers so should be simple

On web browser yes

[merry urchin]

oh ok!

Ig I got it!

[merry urchin]

so I only have to put my user name/steam id on the web browser that opens then when I join the game i will be already admin, right?

[cursive gull]

You need to navigate to the correct place, and save it, then restart the server

[merry urchin]

oh well, I might need your help again when I buy the server, Thanks!

also if im sure on evrima it accepts 20 slots server right

?

[cursive gull]

I don't think theres a bottom limit, but only had servers with 100+ slots

[merry urchin]

k

ty

[deft venture]

BRO HELP MEEEEE

where can i find this

[faint laurel]

Find what? The Ping or the port? lol

[faint laurel]

You're more than likely joining your own server, but don't have harping enabled on your router so yout computer is looking for your networks public ip address when I needs the private one to join. (If your self hosting)

[deft venture]

i didint have a static ip

💀

[sullen kayak]

anyone else that has the same issue?

[runic sierra]

Question for you guys

[cursive gull]

not sure

I'll dm you a file, as it has peoples info in it

[sullen kayak]

[merry urchin]

Can anyone help me?

@merry urchin you dont happen to know the fix for -1000 ping on Linux? All the answers i've seen have been for windows and the solutions haven't worked for me

Cheers, will check those things

[faint laurel]

I'm just going to make a troubleshooting document because its the same 3 errors people ask about for weeks.

[faint laurel]

Its exactly the same, forward the port. There isn't a windows specific or Linux solution. The icmp port just needs to be open.

Also <@&933486433342222376> Could I get an update on a Bug/Vulnerability I sent in Saturday via discord google sheet, email and steam technical support form.

[merry urchin]

I have a problem with the Engine will I help someone

[faint laurel]

Not an issue. But if that is your engine.ini, its incorrect

[merry urchin]

why

[faint laurel]

You're missing the "C" in core first up all. If you are having issues, just delete that, and use this one https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools/blob/main/Engine.ini, and use this as your startup command "TheIsleServer.exe MultiHome=192.181.104.13?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778 -log"

If you are on linux

[merry urchin]

i have windows

[faint laurel]

Okay, use the Engine.ini I posted above, and the startup command posted above

If you still have issues, delete everything and start from scratch with this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2lxKdZTDi42H-1j0zQQPoghmqrp2KuQffD99RXNYcs/edit This one works

[merry urchin]

server running, it can be found, but not knocked on

[faint laurel]

You're killing me, scroll up 12 posts.

[faint laurel]

This

[cobalt python]

Is PingPerfect working for yall? cause it isnt showing my slot count or anything and my server isnt Showing up in The isle

[slow flare]

Ran into some issues setting up a home hosted server, when i run the server the console is just spamming super hard cant find any solutions

[faint laurel]

you're missing The EpicOnlineServices info. You can either use this engine.ini, or place it in your startup command

https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools/blob/main/Engine.ini

You basically need this in your Engine.ini

As long as you place your Engine.ini gfile in the right place, and use "MultiHome=IP_HERE?Port=7777?QueryPort=7778 -log" as your startup parameters, it will work.

[slow flare]

i dont have a engine.ini, can i jus tmake one where game.ini is?

[faint laurel]

Yeah, Should be in a "WindowsServer" folder if on windows, "LinuxServer" fodler if on Linux

I believe \TheIsle\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\

[slow flare]

DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8 ```

just throw that in there?

[faint laurel]

You have an extra space in the beginnging

but yeah

[slow flare]

okay dope

[slow flare]

TYVM server is showing up now but im getting this

[faint laurel]

https://takethebait.net/solving-connection-timed-out-error-the-isle-evrima-dedicated-server/

BEfore you tare it down

Whats the name of the server?

[slow flare]

SamIsle

[faint laurel]

I am able to connect, so see the "Your router doesn’t have Hairpinning enabled. " section of the link I posted

[slow flare]

yup was just reading that

[faint laurel]

You're server is up and working, you just cant get in

[slow flare]

but you can?>

[faint laurel]

Yup

The server advertises a public ip. When you try to connect internally, if your router doesn't support reflected nat, your computer won't know where to direct the request because the IP is just your entire network

So if you can't find the option to enable it, you have to buy a router that supports it to connect to your own server.

[slow flare]

okay you are extremely helpful, im digging through the settings right now

[faint laurel]

No problem. Refreshing to see someone make an effort.

[slow flare]

all this is extremely interesting to me

but I may have hit my wall

dont think my router can do it

[faint laurel]

I'm working on a new blog post about hosting in on a linux cloud server

So that's an option if you are okay with spending about $20 a month

[slow flare]

well im trying to run the server off my 2nd pc

so it wont be the one im trying to play on

if that matters

[faint laurel]

I'm in the same boat as you there, and that doesn't work for me unfortunately. Thats why mines in the cloud now.

[slow flare]

ahh damn so this is my only option lol

[faint laurel]

Alright, if anyone is interested in running a server on linux, or a cloud provider, https://takethebait.net/create-a-dedicated-the-isle-evrima-server-on-ubuntu-22-04-linux/

I'm able to connect, his router just doesn't support Hairpinning

[faint laurel]

@hoary cave Got a nasty bug I would like to discuss over DM when you're available.

[violet marsh]

Would love to see a direct IP connection feature to bypass this as I'm in the same boat.

[faint laurel]

Agreed. It's unfortunate for most of us. It comes down to a limitation of TCP connections. YOu can't direct one IP to another unless its built into the router, and the game just doesn't support the user entering a specific IP

But, it might work if your computer is connected to an outside VPN, and the server is running on a different device in your local network

Then your game would connect from the outside back in from the VPN server.

[violet marsh]

Interesting thought. I don't use any VPN's or else I'd test the theory. Don't see why it wouldn't work though

[nova wigeon]

how do i make a evrima server??

[faint laurel]

You can Host one by following this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2lxKdZTDi42H-1j0zQQPoghmqrp2KuQffD99RXNYcs/edit

[lament vortex]

Got a question: a friend and I are looking to host a server, but we never have before... do we need like a dedicated PC for the server? Or is it all just online?

[faint laurel]

If you've never hosted before, I highly recommend going through a managed provider like pingperfect. With no official documentation, this isn't the smoothest server to host on your own hardware.

You can use a dedicated PC, but you need to reliably forward and open ports, follow third party guides online, have nat reflection capabilities on your router.

[nova wigeon]

thx sm

[nova wigeon]

can u run a server on ur own pc while playing it??

[faint laurel]

Technically yes if your router supports reflected nat. Would not advise it though, you might as well just join another server at that point

[nova wigeon]

yh

jus want a server wit like 4 mates in a time to jus prac fighting then regrow eachother etc

[cursive gull]

There's servers that give you admin and let you test stuff, have a look in #unofficial-isle-communities

[golden flare]

i can set up one for you if you want

[slow flare]

so i tested with a VPN I actually was able to connect

[faint laurel]

Thats awesome. I'm going to update my post then and put that in my knowledge base.

[slow flare]

ended up going with a paid one and it runs great, not sure how a free one would work out. Apricate all your help yesterday man. Would not have been able to get it up and running otherwise

[faint laurel]

No problem! Glad you got it working!

[slow flare]

haha same

[slow flare]

Anyone know the format to add extra admins on enrima putting them on a new line didnt work for me

[merry urchin]

anyone know admin commands? I'm admin of a server but i dunno the right commands lol

the server name is Jungle Tec.-Free Grow if anyone wanna come to be tested on lol, but first gotta learn

no needs anymore-

Just learned

[mighty oar]

Is anyone else having issues with some of the admin panel come out Update 5?
Admin Panel such as : (are they functioning properly for anyone else)
Direct DM to a player in game
Kick player from the game
Ban player from the game

Also are there other servers having random lag-spikes occurring or people randomly getting booted from the server without server actually crashing??

[merry urchin]

how much is needed to run an island server on a vps with max 100 players???

[faint laurel]

17

[faint laurel]

How much of what is needed?

[merry urchin]

Yes, ram , cpu , disk

[faint laurel]

If you are going to actually have 100 slots filled, you will want 12-16GB of ram. If not, you will be good with 8GB. Disk, you want at least

15 GB for the server and logs

Not including what you need for the operating system.

Any package that high in ram will (probably) come with enough cpu

[merry urchin]

Ooh , thanks !! @faint laurel

[faint laurel]

Np!

[proud sky]

How do I get my server hosted through gtx back online after update 5? I’ve tried the steam update and evrima update options in the control panel

[limpid cloak]

How do i update my server?

[faint laurel]

Steamcmd. The same way you isntalled it.

[limpid cloak]

i bought mine

[proud sky]

I was having the same issue, but now it shows it online and I’m getting that connection timeout issue 😂

[faint laurel]

In that case, you will do it in your hosting panel, or reach out to the support team where you bought it.

[proud sky]

That’s what I did to get it online, but I’m trying to figure out the connection timeout

[limpid cloak]

How do i do that?

[carmine prawn]

Is there something that changed from the server hosting? I used to see my server on the server list now I can't anymore. Didnt change anything other than update it

[cobalt python]

@lavish iris why isnt pingperfect working for my server for envrima. its works on legacy but not envrima ever since update 5 my server hasnt been working for envrima

[upper abyss]

@cobalt python I'm a server host and in the same boat. As always they screw something up, and have no idea what.

[vagrant heart]

help me help me

[vagrant heart]

My server is online, but I can't join it. Other servers can join.

[faint laurel]

Your router does not support re-flected nat/hairpinning and you need it to connect to your own server. What you posted in the picture is irrelevant

[faint laurel]

Slee the hairpinning section on this post. https://takethebait.net/solving-connection-timed-out-error-the-isle-evrima-dedicated-server/

[barren palm]

I am also having this issue but am hosting through GTX. No need to adjust my personal router.

[faint laurel]

If you are having issues with a paid hosting provider, they should provide you technical support to resolve it because its on their end.

[random totem]

Can you set one up for me? how does that work?

Hi everyone, new server owner here. So I finally am able to get to work on my Evrima server and have the updated coding placed into my Engine.ini section and my server is not popping up on the server list. Any help would be appreciated

[dark falcon]

nvm, I got it finally fixed up...just having problems with looking horizontally

[wary tinsel]

Hi friends, how would I go about password locking my new server? I have the ServerPassword= in the config file, but it doesn't seem to actually work. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.

[tulip wolf]

wtf

[faint laurel]

?

[tulip wolf]

There was a dude sending some sort of inappropriate server link, lol

[faint laurel]

What the heck lol

[upper abyss]

Note to DEVS. Inclide the Game.ini and Engine.ini in your server files. That's a very stupid move. Another note.... You are now unable to Query Players and server details. Thanks.

[tropic wasp]

Can you not add favourite servers or even filter servers by name now???

Nor do DMs work? w t f ?

[faint laurel]

They don't offer support for non official servers. They kind of handed off the package and said good luck and made it a point that they aren't here to make that process easy. I think these files are actually built automatically if you just shutdown a running server (I could be mistaken). You can query player details using RCON, but you want to build some type of wrapper for it.

[minor glade]

is there a testlevel for evrima?

[cursive gull]

only one map for evrima, so no test level. There is one of course but not released to public

[minor glade]

okay, thanks x)

[umbral bison]

Is server hosting free?

[past tulip]

most are paid but there is 1 free one

also can someone help me fix this?

[upper abyss]

It's called being lazy.

[faint laurel]

You're right, they should have just not released the dedicated server at all so they didn't have to listen to people complain after they stated they won't be supporting it anyways when they need help with basic tasks and troubleshooting.

[wise garnet]

I could forgive not wanting to give active support if they at least provided comprehensive and clear documentation on startup parameters, settings, config files etc. Then at least folks have a good chance of figuring out issues themselves

[wary tinsel]

Hi, bumping this! Still seeking help on password locking my new evirma server.

#server-hosting message

[past tulip]

where do i put that?

[wise garnet]

End of command line

[past tulip]

in server start or game ini or? i’m sorry i don’t know anything about this stuff lol, i did put it in both game ini and server start but it didn’t do anything

[wise garnet]

In the server start file, after -log

[past tulip]

alright:)) thank you! also do i need a e engine file thing cuz i don’t have one, that could b it lmfao

[wise garnet]

No the command line is the alternative to putting it in Engine.ini

If you want to put it in Engine.ini, include this:

[EpicOnlineServices]
DedicatedServerClientId=xyza7891gk5PRo3J7G9puCJGFJjmEguW
DedicatedServerClientSecret=pKWl6t5i9NJK8gTpVlAxzENZ65P8hYzodV8Dqe5Rlc8

ok so my server popped up but i cant connect lol

[cursive gull]

Is it a hosted server? do you have ftp access?

[past tulip]

wdym?

what’s ftp

@cursive gull (sorry for the ping)

[cursive gull]

oh its a internet protocol, not secure, but if you have it can access all server files that way

[past tulip]

oooh ok

[cursive gull]

most hosted servers have an ftp port open

[past tulip]

i’ve never hosted any servers so idk anything that’s going on💀 only server i’ve hosted is a legacy one w the “host” option lmao

[past tulip]

idk, i can show u my server start files? cuz i don’t think it has that idk tho

[cursive gull]

Is your server hosted by a provider? or ran on your pc?

[past tulip]

ran on my pc

[cursive gull]

ah ok

and you don't see an engine.ini after starting and stopping the server?

[past tulip]

i dont have a engine.ini no

idk if the gudie i followed had one, its in the pinned messages i think, or somewhere in the discord

[cursive gull]

that's very strange, comand line is dodgey, I couldn't get it to work, probably due to it having a limited length

did you refresh the folder?

should be in windowsserver>config I think on windows build

[past tulip]

wdym refresh the folder, like opening the server_start and closing it? cuz i tried connecting to my server again but it was the same thing

[cursive gull]

you went to serverfiles/TheIsle/Saved/Config/WindowsServer and no Engine.ini

your route may differ

[past tulip]

ok so it keeps blocking acess in the script thing of the server start which i have to keep allowing, any reason whys it doiing that?

[cursive gull]

probably permissions, I wouldn't worry about that

[past tulip]

yeah, its annoying lmao

[cursive gull]

I run my servers on linux, so not 100% on windows issues

this is so confusing to me lol, i read a thing that said to read it if ur server is showing up but cant connect tho i dont know how to check if my router is hairpinned or wtv

https://takethebait.net/solving-connection-timed-out-error-the-isle-evrima-dedicated-server/

[cursive gull]

info all looks solid

[past tulip]

how do i know if my router has hairpinning enabled

[cursive gull]

you need to look up your router online I guess, might not even be supported

[past tulip]

so much work and for what lmao

[cursive gull]

What you setting up a server for may I ask?

[past tulip]

fun tbh, but also so me and my friend can have a server to practice on, im in a free admin server and i have admin(and i think she does to) but i wanted my own server so i can practice in peacw w/o people tping to us lol

[cursive gull]

Yeah, people randomly tp'ing to you would be annoying

[past tulip]

yeh

[cursive gull]

I think Taco island has rules against that if you are on there

[past tulip]

nah im on a diff server that legit just says Free Admin At (insert discord) lol

[cursive gull]

ah lol, try taco, if you like rules and not being bothered, can send you link in dm if you like

[past tulip]

but there are some admin rules, tho people still break them

[past tulip]

alr, i still want my own sever tho as i think it'd be fun haha

[cursive gull]

Yeah I enjoy setting up stuff, and working things out 😛

[past tulip]

its such a annoying process tho

lol

what do i do abt this, its my only red error : 0]LogLoad: Error: Failed to enter /Game/TheIsle/Maps/TitleMap: Servers can't open network URLs. Please check the log for errors.

but then it says this right under: 0]LogLoad: LoadMap: /Game/TheIsle/Maps/TitleMap?Name=Player

im confused lol

[past sierra]

Hi everyone i want to know we can host evrima server on linux os ?

[deft venture]

is there a way to make the discord button for my server set to my discord server?

[faint laurel]

If you are hosting on your local network, you can't connect because your router doesn't support reflected nat/ hairpinning. I see you already saw that in the blog post though. Either way, this isn't t he most user friendly server to host if you aren't tech literate. I would highly suggest going through a paid provider if you really want one though.

[past tulip]

oh, i think its my local network idk its the network m family uses

ah

yeh free ones arent the greatest

[faint laurel]

The process just isn't run and go unfortunately like a lot of other games

[past tulip]

my brother knows alot abt conputers tho, but he gave up becuase he couldnt figure out why it wont let me connect

[faint laurel]

Yeah definitely sounds like reflected nat/hairpinning

[past tulip]

yeah

sucks cuz i made a discord for my server aswell lol

[deft venture]

is there a way to make the discord button for my server set to my discord server?

[faint laurel]

[/Script/TheIsle.TIGameSession]
Discord=discord.gg/xxxxxxxxxx

[deft venture]

@faint laurel invalid invite and what file do i place this in?

[deft venture]

can i just paste it in below my player cound in the game ini

[faint laurel]

this discord part yeah

[deft venture]

tanks bwo

hopfully this dosent break my servre r

i did it and all my admin perms got removed

i mean whats the best place to host my game on

[twin hound]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem hosting a server for Evrima, there's an error message that I can't identify myself. Maybe you have a solution for me?

[heavy lark]

I have the same. Looks like a dll issue I'm investigating at the moment.

[heavy lark]

At first I had a message saying I need an RTX video card but I launched on an RTX 3060 Elite and still have the same message going infinite.

[heavy lark]

So nobody has an idea? Thanks.

[faint laurel]

https://takethebait.net/troubleshooting-the-isle-dedicated-server-issues/
I believe your solution is about half way down.

[twin hound]

fixed for me, thanks!

[heavy lark]

Also fixed but still can't connect mine. I'm gonna check out later.

I'm gonna try to have my server on my Linux machine though, dual Xeon with 64 GB ram.

[junior slate]

Guys, who can tell you how to edit a sav and bak.sav file format

[plain ginkgo]

i cant seem to get the rest of the files

i've tried reinstalling it twice

but it only installs one of them

can somebody perhaps send them to me?

this is for legacy

please?

[cursive gull]

never ran legacy server, but you start the server and stop it to generate all files with evrima

[lunar stream]

Did you get anyone to send them?

[tawdry mist]

Whats everyone using to share logs with staff members using a dedicated server?

[minor glade]

We're trying to set up a dedicated server. But it looks like the server process has issues serializing the IP/Port.
The log shows "Could not serialize ...", with error code SE_NO_ERROR [0]

Windows resource monitor only shows it listening to UDP port 7777, TCP ports 7777, 7778 and 27015 are not listening.
If we manually open a powershell TCP listener on port 7777 and 27015 then they can be reached from outside (closed them again before starting the dedicated server), so we think it's not the port forwarding.

The server shows in the server list, but it's not possible to connect to it (tried locally).
We started from the beginning on my friend's PC (different public IP) and the server shows up on the list but I cannot connect to it.

Are we overlooking something?

[faint laurel]

" with error code SE_NO_ERROR [0]"

[faint laurel]

Try the Game.ini and Engine.ini here, along with the Server startup command in the readme. https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools

Make sure you use your public IP in the startup command. MAke sure your ports are open on the firewall, as well as forwarded by the router. Check the 7777 port on https://canyouseeme.org/ to see how it responds instantly with a failure, or if it says success, it's usually open and visible.

[faint laurel]

To me it sounds like either the game thread is failing (You'll see a wall of red text) or you are having networking issues due to a lack of hairpinning or ports blocked by the ISP itself

[twin hound]

How we can add more than one Adminid?

[wise garnet]

Separate lines

[minor glade]

Thanks for the answer!
we don't have a "wall" of red text, but we have these 3 red lines, could that lead to the game engine thread not starting?
Is hairpinning relevant also when my friend is connecting to my server, or is it only relevant when connecting to my own server?

My friend also tried activating DMZ to further narrow down / rule out networking as a cause. I think he was able to host servers for different games before so we don't think it's his ISP either. Thanks! (edited)

[heavy lark]

I will soon have it. My server just don't show up yet. 🙂

[heavy lark]

Wow... I keep reinstalling without using beta and it still launches beta map in the end. My Linux serer is crazy.

[faint laurel]

As long as your server console eventually ends up outputting yellow text (like debugging) once everything else is started, then it typically leans to a port/connection issue. Hairpinning is only applicable when connecting to a server within the same LAN. the errors you see there are normal.

[heavy lark]

Is there a reason why steamcmd would download the evrima version each time I delete the server even if I don't specify it? +app_update 412680 +quit this is crazy.

It always load Isla_Spiro map...

[golden flare]

Is there any way to do this without screwing up other options? a bunch of stuff stops working if you add this

[faint laurel]

I'm not sure, I've never experienced this. Make sure you actually but the Discord part on a line under the header of course.

[golden flare]

I've just noticed it makes my rcon password not work at times

[faint laurel]

That shouldn't affect your RCON password in any way. I guess there could be a strange bug though

[golden flare]

last time i checked into this, it has something to do with the paramaters that is passed, Kein said it somewhere in this channel at some point, but if you add discord link some of the code gets cut off or something

[heavy lark]

Is there something in this line that says it's experimental? I don't really understand where's my probleme. I just installed again fresh and it still says Spiro map loaded...

[faint laurel]

You shouldn't need to edit the server start script If you ran "app_update 412680 -beta evrima +quit" with steamcmd, it will be the evrima version

[faint laurel]

If you are refering to this"Took 5.503354 seconds to LoadMap(/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Game/Isla_Spiro/Isla_Spiro)" Thats normal. Doesn't mean it's not evrima

[wise garnet]

I've found that the Discord setting stops a Windows server from launching 🤷‍♂️

[heavy lark]

I don't want Evrima actually and it always start Evrima.

[wise garnet]

Then use -beta public if you want legacy

Coz steamcmd can cache

[heavy lark]

Oh. I see, beta public before installing. That's what happened. Yeah thanks!

quit

Oups sorry

[heavy lark]

Like that?

[heavy lark]

Update : On Windows, I removed steamcmd. It was cashing the old beta version... I'm trying the same on my Linux machine because it's a dual Xeon with 128GB ram.

[merry urchin]

Any staff on asura servers?? I need help

[minor glade]

ask on asura server

i did

did every step

and got this error

after i ran the server_start.bat file

it deleted that file

and i cant find it anymore

and now it just keeps giving this error

might be a folder issue?

[fiery cipher]

could be

i have winodws 11

not 10

[rough pollen]

oh

[fiery cipher]

do you think that could be the proble?

problem

[rough pollen]

shouldnt make a difference

[fiery cipher]

yeah

i tried remaking the file

doesnt work

[rough pollen]

should look like this

[fiery cipher]

automatically deletes it

[faint laurel]

You're ports aren't forwarded, or they are blocked, or your MultiHomeIP is wrong. One of the three for certain. Also make sure you are checking LAN and Unofficial.

[faint laurel]

That's not an issue. If canyouseeme stated connection refused instantly, then it's usually good to go. If it hangs a second, its usually a port problem. Also, no point in blurring out an IP when the server list broadcast it to the world when you host publicly.

[green juniper]

Is there someone that can help me with a few questions I have about hosting a server?

Okay I'm just going to post my questions here? And please just @ me if someone's answers please

1. The cost per player cap added and base cost
2. Can you use another frame hosting it(so can I as a South host a server rather in UK for better performance?)
3. well that's all XD

[cursive gull]

Different sites have different prices and performance, I recommend you look at Pingperfect, they have best performance in my experience. Avoid GTXGaming they have high ratings but poor performance and customer services.

Most if not all server providers have several location options, including uk

Depending on your needs and knowledge, renting a server blade, or server space with allocated cores/ram/hdd space(get nvme drive), on a server may be cheaper and offer better performance depending on the hardware. If you rent a server or server space I recommend running the Linux version.

[green juniper]

I ask because I know my PC would not be able to host a server like some people do

And my location is definitely not the best to host a server on, since then most of the playerbase will be laggy

I plan on upgrading my PC soon

Though

But thank you for your insight ^-^

I'll check out Pingperfect, and such

[ocean flicker]

hey i have a question with i have just bought a server with ping perfect and its been online for two days but doesnt show up on server list is any1 good withthat stuff

like it says running

just i can join it

or see it

on the server list

can any1 help me out please?

ive been trying for days and just wanna use it

[heavy lark]

How can you empty steamcmd cache completely? Il always assumes that the beta is installed even if I use the validate parameter. It's frustrating.

[heavy lark]

Linux? I'm on Linux Debian and this is a dual Xeon 128GB ram machine.

It's a sh script also. Nice. Gonna try it.

https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader

Thanks a lot

[mossy shell]

ik im not making a server... but can someone inv me to The Zoo Crew?

i need a inv

[chrome barn]

discord.gg/thezoocrew

discord . gg / thezoocrew

[cursive gull]

you'll have to be more specific, if it's an issue with PingPerfect best to write at ticket. You can also discuss issues on there discord

[faint laurel]

If you are paying for hosting, reach out to the provider for support. You're paying them to run the server after all.

[mild sandal]

I have same problem

I am talking to them now as i speak

this is what im being told

[fierce ruin]

Hello, i'm trying to setup a remote database for my dedicated server but i can't find any docs more than what to fill in the config, is there something to import in the db or will the server do everything itself ?

(if someone take the time to reply some day, pls mention me i'll definitely forget to check else)

[abstract crane]

Is it not possible to run multiple Evrima servers off one network using different ports. Whenever I have more than one only the first one that was booted is connectable and all other subsequent servers just drop the connections even though it shows in the list.

[heavy lark]

Is there something special to do to connect the server to a DB? Can't seems to find doc anywhere.

[final dove]

Should be 🙂
I have some running on same pc.

Diff port, queryport, rcon etc

[versed bay]

Have the servers been crashing for anyone else?

[slender ibex]

Yes

Alot

[deft venture]

💀

[gaunt bough]

is there a way to create a server on the evirma side?

[cursive gull]

The discord link seems to break the servers somehow. None of my servers would show up until I removed the discord link in game.ini.

[violet marsh]

how were you putting the link in your file

[cursive gull]

discord=

[violet marsh]

what's the link tho, they changed it from being the whole discord.gg/sodifnse to just being what comes after the slash

[cursive gull]

oh when did they change it, this build? was working before as discord.gg/tff

still weird it stops the server from working though

[violet marsh]

Yeah, after updating I got the error message that the discord link was invalid, changed it and didn't get the error anymore. Haven't been able to test if it actually works yet or not though lmao

[cursive gull]

Yeah I just yeeted it, tried putting full link https://.................... then when that didn't work just got riid

[cursive gull]

RCON isn't working for me anymore.

[faint laurel]

Still working here.

[cursive gull]

weird, guess thats a problem for future oyo

[faint laurel]

Also, I'm able to use discord with RCON with discord with the following formatted file https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools/blob/main/Game.ini

[cursive gull]

Cool, probably just need to change the link on next restart so is just the code

[faint laurel]

Yeah before you could link to anything so they probably just started to make it secure.

[cursive gull]

Using your program for the rcon, and both the exe and the py have stopped working for me. I did have it scripted to use the py on our linux server and ran no problems before updaT

[faint laurel]

Interesting. I heard one other person say that, but I'm unable to replicate it so far.

Does it just show unauthorized command when you put the password in?

[cursive gull]

The exe just closes when I enter password on windows. I'lll grab a terminal and look at how it runs manually on the server

[faint laurel]

if you run it from a cmd prompt, it will show you the output and then let you close it.

[cursive gull]

This is what server shows when running it manually, after password input

[faint laurel]

realized my server hadn't been updated

Testing more now

Yeah, still looks like Its working on my end. Maybe when they polish up RCON we will be able to see why it doesn't work in some instances. I've been using realy simple passwords. I wouldn't think it would matter but I'm not sure

[cursive gull]

Yeah I can test different passwords on our test server, not now though, got woken up at 2 am for server update and need to catch up on sleep 😛

[cursive gull]

weird the rcon seems to work after daily restart. Well at least it did for that script. I'll update you later if all is working after I sleep

[cursive gull]

Ok I have slept, it seems all RCON commands have gone through since the 7am restarts. No idea why it wasn't working before as I haven't made any changes. Also means it's going to be pretty much impossible to replicate.

[deft venture]

hey my server starts but dosent show in the server list i thinks its beacasue i havent updated my server to the newest patch i dont know how to do that plz help

[merry urchin]

hello someone help me to make my own evrima server please

[deft venture]

my server isint showing up in the unnoficail servers tab

everything started fine its just not there

[quaint jacinth]

Friend is not sure how to open the admin panel without typing it, they have tried insert but nothing happened

[faint laurel]

Those are the worst kind of issues to try and fix lol

[faint laurel]

Just issue the same command you did in steamcmd when you installed it to update it

[versed bay]

What server hosts do you guys recommend?

GTX has ping issues.

[cursive gull]

I found pingperfect much better. Use a bare metal server with linux on now though, which is best performance in my experience

I think it varies from country and data centre also, lots of people have different experiences

[lucid hemlock]

Anybody with a dedicated server having issues getting legacy version of the Isle to work? I used the same configs as normal but it says can't load the map not sure how to fix it

[gusty ibex]

I honestly think having a real server hosting your isle server can be more stable even with more players

an OVH one

that's the best solution for me

In my past on other games, I've always got problems with server hosting, I've bought an OVH server and then no more problems, it's god damn good

And only one server a month can host few servers, in case you want to open more, or a website or else. It's usefull for everything

[brisk tendon]

can anyone help me with my server i a loop of trying to do something

Hey! Is somebody able to tell me what might be wrong with this fresh server from the log?

It's a fresh server with the port and query-port configured in the command-line, but the server won't appear on the steam or in-game server list with the ports 7777 (server) and 27015 (query) forwarded.

Is the server actually starting up correctly?

The log doesn't seem to give any errors, but also doesn't reference the port/query port being used, aside from when it prints out the commandline (like the queue/rcon ports being visibly used and active in the log)

Evrima version 🙂

[shut moon]

I'll send them now 😄

Engine.ini

I took the PeerPort section from https://github.com/modernham/The-Isle-Evrima-Server-Tools/blob/main/Engine.ini

TheIsle/Binaries/Linux/TheIsleServer-Linux-Shipping TheIsle "/Game/TheIsle/Maps/Game/Isla_Spiro/Isla_Spiro?MultiHome=0.0.0.0?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015" -log

I've tried various port & startup parameter combinations, but whilst the RCON port in the log is accessible upon launch, the ones specified in the commandline aren't

Game.ini

---

While testing, using this exact command, it says it can't serialise MultiHome -- same goes for using external IP:

TheIsle/Binaries/Linux/TheIsleServer-Linux-Shipping MultiHome=0.0.0.0?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015```

Removed

Yeah

Testing now

Just so we're both on the same page, I mentioned above that I'm on the evrima branch.

I'll test that now

Is it normal that using this word-for-word results in the following log?

RCON and such open as normal at the end, but the 7777 port still seems unaccessible.

Both ufw and iptables look to be down or empty.

(when curling the RCON port, it works -- but the 7777 port returns refused)

I've tried both, just running it locally in WSL and in a linux dds docker container.

[twin ice]

hello im lost i need to talk to Punchpacket#7530 how do i find them

[shut moon]

Surely if I curl localhost:7777 it's not using the NAT/ISP firewalls?

Considering that curl localhost:8888 (rcon) appears to work

I've resorted to testing the port locally as it didn't work on a production environment

That's too far, as currently, the server doesn't seem to be making use of port 7777

Because the RCON port is accessible, but the primary port isn't

I haven't configured anything for RCON, and you don't need to configure the firewall in order to access things locally.

It's very strange though, but testing locally is a lot more efficient too -- once I know if there's an issue in the server configuration/setup and can access it locally, the external side should already be fixed (as there's no firewall to get in it's way externally).

RCON?

Why would one port work, but not the other?

If there's no firewall getting in the way.

The main server port is UDP?

TCP?

Maybe the real-time makes a difference there, not sure

But different games seem to adopt different protocols for their ports

Alright, one sec.

@merry urchin If no query port is specified, what's the default?

Oh, so when adding the server via Steam, it'll just use the main port?

Or can you no longer add it to your steam servers for a direct connection?

Is there no other way to directly connect to your server in Evrima?

So as long as your server's primary port is open, it should appear in the server list?

Alright thank you, will give this a test and see.

[shut moon]

Alright, so the server now shows on the list but when connecting, the server instantly logs out:

20.08 19:30:59 [Server] INFO [2022.08.20-19.30.59:596][166]LogNetSerialization: Error: FBitReader::SetOverflowed() called! (ReadLen: 32, Remaining: 2, Max: 2)

The client then returns a time-out after 120 seconds, even though the server did react instantly.

[faint laurel]

Peer port is the advertisement, 7777 is the game so I believe they are different.
Edit* Just saw where you said the query port isn't a thing anymore?

[faint laurel]

That's normal because it's not the query port, its the game port.

[faint laurel]

If you are connecting locally, there's a good chance your router doesn't support hairpinning, try to have someone outside connect in

Funny how much conflicting information is out there on the server config. I guess the pinned document by one of the devs is just outdated now.

[rich juniper]

I have a legacy Server in my LAN Network. It worked just fine, but now I can't join the Server. I can see it on the Steam Browser and inside in The Isle Server browsing, but I get a black Screen, when I want to join and it goes miserable long. Then I get kicked for lost connection, cause it lastet too long. I already applied the new EAC Commands on my Engine.ini but nothing changed. Does someone know, why I can't join the Server? (I can join join other open Server without any Issues).

[brisk tendon]

where do i find engine.ini in the the file explorer

When testing outside of Docker, this error was thrown upon the first player connection -- and so I made sure to symlink the steamclient.so into the mentioned folder and it worked.

[faint laurel]

Facepalm

[heavy lark]

I don't see my server in local network but people can see it from outside. Is there something I can do to connect it from local? Like launching with a parameter.

[cursive gull]

need to setup router if it is compatible, Aspect made a guide for troubleshooting https://takethebait.net/troubleshooting-the-isle-dedicated-server-issues/

[heavy lark]

My ports are all opened on this machine. Sorry there was info I don't wanted to show.

[heavy lark]

I won't show my IP but this is it.

Yes I did a test. I see the server from the Internet but not in my how local network. This is weird.

And can connect it from the Internet.

[heavy lark]

I changed ports and for some reasons it works now... Maybe in that computer the 7778 was used.

[heavy lark]

Now I have a database running on my Linux. I just need to find how to connect it.

[tropic wasp]

Is it just me, or since the last patch, does Growing people only sometimes work?

And spectating players from admin seems to be really wonky... shows up tags for people who aren't logged in, or who have died, keeping the tag on the body and not their new respawned dinos?

[cursive gull]

Grows are the same, and spectator is still broken. You can't grow people if they are doing most animations or sitting. The player names get stuck on old bodies so you end up with loads of players with no name tags on. The devs are aware of the spectator issues they have been bugged since update 5. Hopefully they fix it soon

[rancid merlin]

Hey guys, can we use RCon on Evrima?

[cursive gull]

Yeah #server-hosting message

is limited at the moment, but have found some uses

[rancid merlin]

Thanks!

[minor glade]

is there a command or something that can wipe all the dead bodies?

[cursive gull]

in evrima, unfortunately no

[minor glade]

aww shute, thanks anyway. Would there be one for Legacy then?

[cursive gull]

Only ran evrima servers so can't say for certain, but Legacy was able to remove bodies,
if there was a mass remove though I dunno

[heavy lark]

If I want to connect to a real database, what table do I need to create in my PhpMyAdmin server? It's not clear in the docs.

DatabaseType=SQLite
DatabaseHost=192.168.XXX.XXX

DatabaseUser=XXX
DatabasePassword=XXX

[stark sphinx]

Same problem for me for the database, i filled database information on the config file with MariaDB, when i go on my phpmyadmin i have nothing registered

i don't understand why we don't have to specify the database name ?

[heavy lark]

I'm an IT admin. Normally you need to create the base first but to wich name is a mystery.

[stark sphinx]

Yeah i'm a Web développer and when i create a web project, i specify a data base name lol

[stark sphinx]

strange that there is no doc about that..

[stark sphinx]

No one here hosted a server with a remote database ?

[heavy lark]

Probably but no there is no doc. I'm trying to connect it to my dual Xeon machine. Another thing I find out is that there is no linux server for the legacy version. This is strange.

[stark sphinx]

I see

it's sad..

[heavy lark]

In Legacy

Not Evrima

What are the ways to change players data which are currently playing ?

I know that we can as admin, but i would like for example growth a player if he put a command on a discord server for example ?

but without asking him to disconnect and reconnect ?

I think that the bug i have found is a new one since no-one know what I'm talking about or heard of it this is the massage ( I have a really bad bug ( or so i think it is ) I have a server that no-one can save there dino progress every time the server restarts it resets everyone as if you died I don't think starting a new decushion for a bug report will get the attention it needs. And its impossible to get a good server started if no-one can save there dino progress. )

Anyone know about anything like this or a fix?

Is there a way to know online time of a player ?

There is public mods for the isle ?

[bitter tusk]

No

[keen wharf]

How can i host my own server for me and my friends to practice on

[stark sphinx]

I saw a server who was able to do it, so i think it's possible.

[stark sphinx]

i'm not talking about mods, bbut the way to know online time of a player with a specific dino.

[final dove]

MySQL dont work for isle 🙂

Only JSON files; no external databases

[ashen zinc]

Is Evrima allowing private servers again? Or just official servers?

[shut moon]

I haven't seen any way of making an Evrima server private yet.

Hopefully they bring these features to Evrima servers soon, although I don't see much communication from them within this channel at the moment.

[untold trail]

Maybe you can do that with a firewall

Is it normal for servers in this game to crash once or twice a day... My server crashes every day

Without warning or reason, it just stopped working

[polar palm]

This is normal?

Hello,
I'm setting up my server the isle legacy through Pterodactyl (linux) and I'm having a lot of latency problems when I have more than 30 players.
The latency is not related to the performance of my VPS or Numbers of AIs.
This has a capacity of 12 cores, 16gb of ram and unlimited hard drive.

The problem I'm having is mainly because of network traffic. (inbound very high and outbound low).

Maybe, Is it a problem that I do not have the ports enabled?

How I can enable a range of ports?

[fleet horizon]

please send guides on how to make your server

Anyone can help me about the RCON ?

[stark sphinx]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1502947359

RCON port won't appear here on the log when server starting

But i should have something like that

I have the Rcon settings right in my Game.INI

“[/Script/Engine.Game] RconEnabled=true RconPassword=password RconPort=8888 “

I'm on legacy

Oooh can you give me the settings for the legacy one pls ?

Ok thanks for your help, someone on this discord would help me by telling me the settings for rcon on the legacy please ?

damn i finally found omg ...

[rich juniper]

does someone know why I cqn't join my legacy server? I can join other random servers without a problem, but i get a black screen, when i want to join my server.

[glass hornet]

Can someone explain these parameters to me for The Isle Legacy

ServerAIMax=100 (What happens if I decrease it?)
bServerAI=true (if I set it in 'false' , keep appearing)
ServerAIRate=1.0 (How does this rate work, what happens if I decrease it?)
bServerAIPlayerSpawns=true (How does this work?)

I am having latency problems, when users exceed 30 slots, and I have a very powerful machine (server).
I don't know if it has to do with AI spawning or network traffic.

[heavy lark]

The latency is all due to machine performance and network speed so yes. Nothing to do with ports.

[heavy lark]

AI max is the number of ai max at the same time on the whole map. Server ai rate is the percent of chance that ai spawns around a player. So right now you have only 1% and the last at true is to permit ai to spawn around players spawn points.

[heavy lark]

Change listen port to 7788 your port is probably used on your local network.

This was my case

But @glass hornet you were able to install legacy on Linux? My Linux machine don't want to wich is a waste because it's a 128 gb ram machine 😦

[glass hornet]

Listen port, what is this? Query port ?

[heavy lark]

Query yeah sorry

[glass hornet]

ok ok, to sandbox server, is there a way to remove the bots? any parameter? bServerAI=false doesn't work, or should I remove some parameters ?

[heavy lark]

Never tried on sandbox

[rich juniper]

thank you. It was cause of the Port. But it's still weird. It worked earlier, but suddently didn't. But I changed it back to normal.

[cursive gull]

surely setting max ai to 0 would work

[final dove]

Rcon dont work for legacy 🙂

[final dove]

Ai settings dont work for legacy - dondi has stated himself the Ai settings is a outdated system, its from a previous iteration of AI they had; and thus the settings to increase / lower Ai dont work.

Its only on/off that works

He also directly stated High Ai servers are a hoax, as its all random based

[heavy lark]

Okay so high ai servers are lies 🤣 thanks then.

[final dove]

Well, so the Ai is pretty random depending on food / player counts etc & how many carnis supposedly.

Because the settings are default in the game.ini, people tend to think they work (though functionality is removed from game) - some claim to say they feel a difference when adjusting the settings, but the game owner has gone out to say its a hoax, nothing changes - its all false 😄

[heavy lark]

Good to know then.

[merry urchin]

because I have many packages entering my server 'the isle legacy'

It is normal?

[golden flare]

you don't happen to know what the config setting for turning AI's off are in Evrima ?
